Advertising

The Brave Discussion aims to be a sustainable project and as such we depend upon our advertisers and partners for their support in communicating stories that need to change. As such we offer a few different packages and options for appropriate corporate social responsibility programmes to be featured on The Brave Discussion. Please note: where such support has been provided we disclose the relationship within the post or elsewhere on this blog as is appropriate. We reserve the right to reject partners who we believe do not fit our stance on changing the story. We require a two month advertising commitment. Discounts are available when you purchase three months in advance. A Featured Ad is limited to one sponsor per month. Sponsors have the option of purchasing a dedicated sponsor blog post at an additional fee which includes the option for a giveaway. For rates and more information on our ad packages please email mail {at} thebravediscussion {dot} com and provide a link to your business or blog.

Sponsors are subject to approval and may be denied if we feel the subject of your store, product or blog does not fit our readership or values.

The Brave Discussion offers dedicated blog posts with the option of a giveaway to our sponsors for an additional fee. Dedicated blog posts will include information about your business, photos, important links, current specials or promotions, and your giveaway if you choose to offer one. Dedicated blog posts are an excellent way to increase traffic to your site and get your name out there even more.

A giveaway without sponsorship can also be purchased. These giveaways are limited. Please email mail {at} bravediscussion {dot} com for pricing and provide a link to your business or blog.

The Brave Discussion sometimes offers product reviews for products such as Fair Trade items, inspirational books, cause related product etc. If you would like to see your product on The Brave Discussion blog please email kathie {at} thebravediscussion {dot} com. If we feel your product fits the style of The Brave Discussion and our readers would benefit from knowing about it, we will definitely consider it and provide a link to your product in a post.

The Brave Discussion is not a pitch engine or mere mouthpiece for your organisation. Our opinions are our own and we only accept campaigns that benefit the community as a whole. We do not share or sell the lists of our members, nor do we pass standard pitches to them.  We also do not share client contact information with members.

We are committed to corporate social responsibility as an empowerment mechanism.
