Author: Need Free Advertising? It’s Time to Think Tasmania!
Free Advertising? Don’t we sell advertising space on Think Tasmania? No, we don’t! There’s lots of websites that do sell advertising, and that’s their main agenda, but we’re not one of them. We can help you promote your Tasmanian business for free, though. So if that’s what you’re really interested in, please read on.

Advertising. What do you think about when we say advertising? For many business owners, their first thought would probably relate to the cost of any potential new promotion. We all know placing an advertisement with traditional media is not cheap. But what if you could try a unique system that doesn’t cost a thing? Then you might be inclined to think about…
- generating more sales or bookings for your business
- potential new customers all searching the internet
- creating a showcase for the fabulous product you have

Your Own Web Page & Free Advertising
Don’t have a huge budget? Can’t be bothered with a website? Think Tasmania has the perfect solution for you! It’s the answer for any business: an event, crafty mumprenuer or completely new enterprise, maybe. Or even an established operator who just hasn’t had the time or inclination to get online. We can take all the hassle out of the equation by publishing an article about you, that you can use as an interim website. Or a permanent one! And it’s still free. Unbelievable but true!

The Social Network: Facebook
Would you benefit if Think Tasmania published an article in the name of your business? Of course! Many of our articles also feature in our periodical email Newsletter. And all of our articles are promoted on our Facebook page too. (Yes, more free advertising!) And while we’re on the subject of Facebook, are you taking advantage of this avenue of the social network? You know you should, but you’re probably very busy with your core business. We understand. Let us get you started. You’ll be reaping the rewards for your business in no time.

There’s No Such Thing As a Free Lunch, You Say?
Still not convinced? I know, it does sound too good to be true, doesn’t it? Want to know why we make this spectacular offer? Because we are obsessed with making our website awesome! We are thrilled when readers tell us they love what we do and that our information has been useful to them. And for that to continue, we need to keep providing great content by publishing articles about the people, places and things that make Tasmania wonderful.
We also love to bring locals together in a network of co-operation so that everyone benefits. Have you heard the slogan for our business? Think Network, making the net work for you! Read more about Think Network and hopefully you’ll realise we are genuine, we can help you and it doesn’t have to cost you any money!

Seriously: What is the Catch?
We have mentioned this is a unique system of advertising (well it’s free, that’s pretty unique!). We’ve also mentioned we love to provide good quality information for our readers. So the catch (if there has to be one) is this…
- (a) we only write articles from first-hand experience
An ordinary advertisement (where you pay the provider) consists of your slogan and a few words. And everyone reading that advertisement knows you’ve paid for the privilege. On the other hand, we deliver an in-depth story with pictures, and readers know we haven’t been paid. See the difference in the perception of the reader (and potential customer)?
It’s like a word of mouth recommendation, the highest honour a business can get. Not to mention the other benefits: the article can be bookmarked for later reference and shared online. You can update future information yourself through the reply section (now on sale, new menu, latest arrival…). And you can be as involved as you want with the online promotion of your business through channels like Facebook. Ask us how.

- (b) we refuse to publish something unless we think it’s true
We always, without question, report honestly. In the past, we’ve declined the invitation to write an article, because we didn’t feel comfortable promoting the business. If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. So you have to be convinced your business delivers a positive concept and then we want to confirm that it does.
We visit you, take photos, learn a little about your business or event and what makes you special. We have to be able to give readers a reason for choosing your place to stay, eat, play or buy from. Something they can’t understand from just a directory listing or a passing mention on Facebook.

The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth!
So that’s it. The whole deal, laid bare, on the table, nothing to hide. It’s a great deal, really… what more could you want? And it’s a really great deal for us too. Although it’s taken us several years of (sometimes frustrating) work to establish Think Tasmania, and we’ve acknowledged there’s no money in it, we still love it! We get to experience some of the best things the state of Tasmania has to offer and meet some awesome people.
Bottom line: we love to promote Tasmania and help business owners improve their Facebook pages. And we’re pretty damn good at it, if you don’t mind us saying!! Lucky, hey? Actually, counting the hours we’ve dedicated to learning all the tricks of the internet trade… luck can take very little credit.
We don’t want to brag too much about what we’ve achieved, that’s not our style. Check out Think Tasmania for yourself. Connect with us on Facebook and follow our progress. And please ask for a reference if you’d like advice from someone who is already enjoying the benefits of being part of our network.
It’s important to note that due to a high demand for articles
written by our team (free advertising – of course there’s demand!)
we also accept submissions from guest authors. Ask us if you’d like to receive
our submission guidelines; they explain the need for originality of material
and interesting content. Obviously, if you’re the author and you’d like to
mention your own fabulous business… that’s okay! We’ll provide a link to your
website or Facebook page as a reward for writing something awesome.
