This is a great way to get friends, fans and followers to share your post with their network, which can lead to many more votes.

Print Ad

As part of your advertising mix, consider placing an ad in the “We’ve Been Nominated” guide which will be distributed in mid-November throughout Long Island. You can choose between a quarter page, half page or full page ad and fully customize it with photos and text.

Web ad

We highly suggest increasing your visibility by promoting your nomination with a web ad. Again, you can customize your ad and choose which voting page it will appear on. Keep in mind that category page ads tend to sell out quickly so don’t miss your chance!

Be sure to vote Fat Guy Media for Best Social Media Agency and Best Web Design Services. Good luck to all of the 2016 nominees!
