RELEVANT. COMPELLING. ACTIONABLE.

Advertising at ShareOnce gets results and you can get started in four (4) simple steps:

Step 1: First, you'll need a ShareOnce account

Already have an account? Sign In!
Need an account? Create one now…it's free!

Step 2: Choose a plan

Once you have logged in, select the advertising plan that fits your needs and budget. Each month, your plan provides you with a set number of ad units (placements), per ad type (video, banner, 3-line text, 1-line text mention). You can use these ad placements to target groups or other ShareOnce locations. It's completely risk-free as we offer a 30-day free trial and there are no long-term contracts. Simply cancel before the next month's renewal date if you choose not to continue.

Step 3: Create your ad and submit them for approval

Using our ad submission facility, create your advertisement on ShareOnce and submit it for approval. Advertisements will be reviewed and approved or denied within one (1) business day. Make sure to read the ShareOnce Advertising Standards & Guidelines to keep in accordance with our policy.

Step 4: Target and schedule your ad

Ad slots on ShareOnce.com are limited and ad targeting and scheduling is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. All ads are required to be submitted, targeted and scheduled by the ad scheduling deadline of 5:00pm CST on the 25th of the month prior to their running. For example, if you are interested in advertising in July, you must have all of your ads submitted, targeted and scheduled by 5:00pm CST (USA) on June 25th.

You can target your ad to a specific group or groups up to the number of ad placements your ad plan provides. You may also target the general ShareOnce membership ("Pages not specific to a single group") if you offer an online service or nationwide product/service delivery. You may schedule your ads up to three (3) months in advance and set a recurring reservation into perpetuity ("Forever"). In reserving beyond the next month, you are signaling your commitment to renew your ad plan and your account will be renewed automatically.

That's it!

Group Sponsorship Packages

Sponsorship of a group on ShareOnce is a perfect way to promote your company to members of ShareOnce. This is an exclusive branding opportunity in an uncluttered, controlled business environment where you can literally join the conversation with the people you sponsor. We believe there are three (3) distinct advantages to our sponsorship approach at ShareOnce:

• Enhanced Visibility — Through ShareOnce, a group and its members connect, share and follow up on business opportunities, anytime, anywhere across the real-time web. Those locations include ShareOnce.com, Twitter, Facebook, websites and blogs. We call it “Share once. Be everywhere.” and it means significantly enhanced visibility for everyone, including you, the sponsor.
• Connections into Conversations — Members of the business networking groups have joined for a reason -- to turn their connections into meaningful conversations and business results. They do that by starting conversations that build relationships and trust and, ultimately, produce both long- and short-term business results. By joining the conversation in an authentic, credible, and meaningful way, you, the sponsor, will be contributing to the community of the group and thereby earning goodwill and trust for you and your brand.
• Rich Source of Referrals — It’s important to remember that the conversations you are joining are with prospective customers and influencers. A good experience or conversation with you, the sponsor, in this trusted and influential environment can lead to a wider, deeper reach for your brand and additional business referrals for you.
