livelyfish – local online advertising

– affordable, targeted, effective

We do however use the income from advertising to pay for some of the behind the scenes work that is required each week to list events, prepare emails, approve Comments and Who’s Going responses etc, etc, etc.

Please support our livelyfish advertisers. It helps us to run livelyfish without too much stress. We also use the money to help to continue to grow and expand livelyfish by adding new features, facilities & areas.

Why you might want to advertise on livelyfish

Just like John West – It’s the ads that livelyfish rejects that make us the best

We’re picky about the advertising we accept. We won’t take an ad unless we ourselves would use the product or service being advertised. livelyfish has a reputation for providing information on the best events in our local area each week. We apply the same rigourous selection process to advertising on livelyfish.

We offer only a limited number of ads on our website. In our case making money is not our main focus. We seek only to make enough money through advertising to pay for the day to day operation of our organisation and fund expansion to other areas.

We believe that matching the right product or service with the livelyfish audience can produce powerful results for both the advertiser and people using livelyfish.
