Free advertising for green business
By Green Living Tips | Published  12/6/2008

There's so many merchants in the green space now, including a fair share of companies unfortunately engaging in greenwashing - that is, touting products with claims they are environmentally friendly when in fact, they really aren't.

It can be hard for the little guys and those businesses genuinely comitted to making a difference to get noticed - unless they have bags of money for advertising.

To help address this, I'm now offering free advertising to businesses that sell green products and services.

You can be showcased on Green Living Tips in an article dedicated to you at absolutely no cost! Free, nix, nada, no money changes hands. This offer is open to businesses big and small in all countries.

This is a great way to get long term exposure to tens of thousands of Green Living Tips readers each month.

You'll have home page coverage and additionally, you'll get a mention in my newsletter which currently goes out to around 10,000 double opt in subscribers.

There will be a section started on the site soon dedicated just to coupons and discounts for green goods and services - initial trials have shown some really positive results.

How to get listed

There's a small catch (isn't there always).

Aside from your goods and services needing to be authentically green; you need to provide some sort of coupon or easily redeemable discount to Green Living Tips readers and subscribers. This way everyone wins - you gain more customers and GLT subscribers and visitors get something in return :)

You'll also need to supply a written piece (minimum of 250 words of original content) regarding your company and your products and their environmental attributes. I'll then turn it into a full showcase article. You'll find it's certainly worth the effort for the ongoing coverage you'll receive!

For further details about submitting your business and offer for this free advertising service, please contact me with some brief details about your business and the coupon or discount you'd like to provide.

I'll only be publishing a couple of green coupons and deals a week, so be sure to get in quick for rapid coverage!

If you have friends or colleagues who run a business related to the environmental sector and green living, please let them know about this initiative!

Please note: I will not be able to accept discount offers from distributors working under network marketing or MLM programs.

    Michael,

    Thank you so much for offering this service. It really is getting hard for customers to "weed out" the green washed companies vs. the truly green. Once you included UsedCardboardBoxes.com in your blog, we had a slew of orders, of course using our 5% off offer. I highly recommend any green business to get involved with you. The article was awesome and we couldn't be more appreciative.

    Thanks so much!

    Cheers,
    Jennifer Berry

    I could not agree more with Jennifer. And, thank you! Michael, for introducing this topic and this opportunity. While we are a USA manufacturer of the Green Diamond Tire, we will honor a 20% discount on all of our environmentally friendly tires to any location to which we can ship. Kind regards to one and all.
