1. A Free, Basic Listing in the Guide:
- You must be a BDA member in good standing; all dues paid.
- You must have a business that meets with the general public in the 'footprint' of downtown Brunswick.
- Food or drink must a major part of your business. (e.g, a computer repair shop that offers a courtesy cup of coffee and snacks to its customers would probably not qualify).
What you get: A text-only listing with contact information in up to 3 categories (e.g, Cafe's, Snacks, Coffee & Tea). Note that the BDA link-back policy is enforced for the guide, so you will need to link to the BDA site to get a BDA link to your site. Important: A free listing will always show up below other businesses who have an expanded listing (explained below). Finally, free listings are limited to one food menu excerpt.
See an example free listing page here.
2. Be Seen Better - An "Expanded Listing" - and have Full Food Menus Displayed!
For an annual fee of $50, payable to the BDA, you get the following direct benefits:
- Your listing will appear ahead of all non-expanded listings. Your business title will be larger.
- Your listing will display a single, large image of your business.
- On the summary page (page of all bakeries, etc.), users can hold their mouse over your business title and read all about you without having to click to the next page.
- Your listing can show as many menus as you want (must be provided in PDF format. Help creating PDFS is available from Allure Creative. Standard hourly fees apply for these extra services).
- We suggest you watch the movie to see all that an expanded listing entails. Lots!!!
3. Be Spotlighted! (See sample at right)
For a one time fee of $50, payable to Allure Creative, your business can be spotlighted on a rotational basis with other 'spotlighted' businesses. The fee covers the preparation and installation of a large 3 or 4 photo image that entices web visitors to click to your business.
Note: You must have an "expanded listing" (#2) to be eligible for spotlighting.
4. Narrated Audio Tour for Your BDA Listing AND Your Website, PLUS a Screensaver, PLUS More BDA Visibility!
For a fee of $525, Allure Creative (Web and Print Design Studio in Senter Place) will create a narrated slide show about your business; will take photos and produce an excellent narrated presentation to show off what your business has to offer. Go to the Wild Oats Bakery and Cafe or the Bohemiam Coffee House listings to see their tours.
- You also get spotlighted on a rotational basis in the 'header' of the guide home page. (Do not have to pay for a #3).
- On your listing page, up to 10 photos will run as an automatic slide show. You provide the photos in digital form.
- You also get to use the presentation on your own website
- You get a free PC screen saver you can post on your website containing photos of your business and logo.
