Affordable Local Advertising

The Toronto Neighbourhoods Apps are targeted at local residents, employees, students or regular shoppers
in various areas around Toronto including Queen West, West Queen West and Kensington Market.  
Take part in this opportunity to connect with them.

Why Advertise in the Neighbourhoods Apps?

  • There are a myriad of online solutions for mobile users to get local information, but many of these cause “friction” to the user.
  • ​People must check multiple sources (websites, apps, free newspapers/magazines) to try and locate what they want or find out what is going on in the neighbourhood.  
  • Many of these sources are not "mobile optimized" or have easy search functionality to help the user "find" you.  
  • Plus many of these sources offers steep ad rates so local small to medium sized businesses are not represented.

We have created a simple and easy-to-use mobile app with
ad pricing levels for all types of budgets. 
 


Four advertising options for local businesses, event creators/organizers:

  • Permission-based pop-up image ads
  • Time-sensitive, text-based ads or alerts
  • Special Offers screen with current offers
  • "Storybook" ads with unique home screen button and multi-page support (can include advertorial content) 

Text-Based Ads

Simple text-based ads or alerts that run on the Main app screen and can be connected to an image ad. This is a easy, low-cost solution to engage with local customers and to offer short-term deals.

Pop-Up Image Ads

We built our advertising system to be a "permission- based" meaning that pop-up ads display when the user has paused their activity (hopefully avoids annoying users) and the ads link to the business directory and map for further information.

Storybook Ads

Animated Media created this concept to have mini-apps or an "App within an App". Our Storybook ads are multi-page/screen ads, with their own branding, look and feel. Perfect for multi-day events, product launches, holiday markets, advertorials, and more.  These ads are integrated into the Neighbourhood Apps with a special home screen button to access the content.​
Compared with other vendors, ads in the Toronto Neighbourhoods Apps will be shown many times per day increasing engagement with local customers.  Monthly advertising packages start at $20 for text-based ads and $100 for image ads. 

Unique Features

Our apps enable local businesses and advertisers to offer immediate, short-term, time-limited specials or discounts to drive customers in to a business through the day or night.

​By using both text and image ads, as well as the ease of submitting ad content via text message, e-mail or social media, we offer businesses an opportunity to connect with local customers any time with relevant, targeted ads.

Social Media

Advertising in the Neighbourhoods Apps includes sharing the ad through our social media channels as well.

Our goal is to offer businesses of all sizes a cost effective, real-time mobile advertising platform, supporting both image and text-based ads, that enables them to attract and reward local customers and build loyalty. ​

​We plan to work with some of the 81 Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) within the City and the Toronto Association of BIAs (TABIA) as an umbrella group that represents over 40,000 businesses. The BIAs are of many different sizes and budgets and work in various ways to improve commerce and attract residents and visitors to stay in the Neighbourhood and #ShopLocal, #EatLocal, #DrinkLocal.
