Why advertise with us?
In retail, the saying is “location, location, location”. The same is true for websites! Creating meaningful links between websites (also known as “backlinks”) is one of the important factors when it comes to searchability on sites like Google. Having your website listed with us will allow you to get traffic from visitors who may not have heard of your camp before, or who were drawn to your camp by using generic search terms. Our team has been in the camp advertising business for several years, working as private contractors, and we are now working to offer a low-cost, affordable advertising solutions to all the camps in the National Capital Region. We do our own analytics and SEO in house, ensuring that our site will help drive traffic to yours!
