Your company, or its products or services, may have been featured in articles published elsewhere. If so, you can have this information included on the WorldSweeper.com website by sponsoring the story's listing.
All White Paper articles must be reviewed prior to placement, and we reserve the right to reject any that the editorial staff feels are inappropriate. Articles will be retained on the site for a minimum of one year.
Each White Paper-submitted article will have the words "Sponsored for inclusion by (Name of Your Company)" placed tastefully at the top of the first page. You must include Reprint Permission in writing from any prior publisher. |

Current Product Photos in Slideshow and/or Email Postcards Section:
|
Your current models of sweepers, or sweeping-related products, may be included in both our Slideshow and Postcard sections.
Having pictures of your current product line in our Slideshow area is a great way to showcase your current products. Each photo can be linked to any page on your website. That way, if someone is interested in knowing more about a particular sweeper, with the click of a button they can be redirected to the website page for that model. Photos may be kept on the site for up to one year at no additional charge.
Likewise, including your products in our Postcard site lets anyone send a photo of that sweeper to someone in an email message. This is perfect as a thank you or follow-up message from your sales team, for contractors who use that model of sweeper, etc. Your sales team might even offer to customers that they will place a photo of their new sweeper on the site as a 'thank you perk' for their purchase.
In that event, the purchaser can send us a photo of his/her sweeper after the signage is on it, and use the Postcard site to send photo thank you notes to their own customers. |
Cost is $75 per year per unique picture of a sweeper or other product in either the Slideshow or Postcard sections.

|
We anticipate publishing World Sweeper magazine on a scheduled basis. Prior to committing to this we are assessing the support level that exists for the project. Once that process is completed, ad rates and a publishing schedule will be announced.
If you would like to make sure you are included to receive this information, please make sure you are listed in our Vendor Locator section.
For complete information, or to place one or more advertisements, either send us an email or call 360-724-7355 between 9am and 5pm, Pacific Time Zone.
