MARKET SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The City Flea is now in its third season and are extremely happy to say that we've continued to see growth and excitement for our markets each month.  When we "opened the doors" to our first market on June 4, 2011, hosting just 45 vendors we were blown away by how well received the concept was by both our vendors and shoppers.  Since then we have held markets at various locations around Cincinnati and have hosted nearly 200 unique, creative and passionate regional vendors.  

In 2013 we are making Washington Park our home base for summer markets and are excited to be situated in such a beautiful landscape that is an integral part of the growth and energy of our city. We estimate that as many as 5,000 folks attended each of our previous markets held at Washington Park. 

This year we are establishing a market sponsorship option as an opportunity to connect with local businesses that we might not normally have a logical opportunity to collaborate with. If you own a local business and think that the City Flea audience would be worth connecting to, please contact us to discuss a possible market sponsorship. 

MARKET SPONSORSHIP PERKS:

- Signage and a booth visibility at desired sponsored market.  The City Flea has a strict policy against information booths which would give you a unique and exclusive advantage in sharing information about your brand. 

- Social media and web shout outs.  In the weeks leading up to and following your market we promise to spread the word and promote your brand with our growing online community.  Currently we have over 5,700 facebook fans, over 2,300 twitter followers and an average of 10,000 monthly page views on our website in the weeks leading up to an event. 

- Collaborations.  If you've got a fun idea for a promotion or interesting way we can work together the month(s) of your market we're happy to hear! Let's talk. Simply setting up a booth and handing out information does not enrich the environment we are hoping to create. We would love to discuss interesting ideas that will add to the market experience for everyone.

MARKET SPONSORSHIP RATE:

If you are interested in this collaboration please contact us to discuss an appropriate sponsorship rate for your business type/ size and what kind of presence you would like to have at the market. 

WEB SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The City Flea website was launched in March 2011 as a place for patrons, vendors & interested folks to visit for City Flea facts- location, time, background, vendor links, etc.  But prior to the first market, in an attempt to ‘set the stage’ for the type of culture & atmosphere we hoped to foster at the markets, the blog naturally became a place where we shared inspiration & creativity that we thought like-minded people would also be interested in.  Moving forward, we plan to continue that trend & make the blog portion of the website a higher priority than it has been in the past seven months.  At our markets we have seen high levels of interest in the unique & creative juices that our market vendors were dishing out. We now aim to entertain those interests online and through our blog as well.

 

We are happy to provide these constantly growing numbers to anyone interested. If you'd like to purchase a spot right now you can do so below.

 

Multiple posts per week on a range of topics from DESIGN, PHOTOGRAPHY, FASHION, TRAVEL, MUSIC, LOCAL BUSINESSES, EVENTS, or just RANDOM INTERESTING FINDS. 

Multi-month sponsors will receive a SPOTLIGHT FEATURE in which we dedicate an entire post to your business, blog or shop.  Giveaways, promotions or special offers are allowed with a LARGE or X LARGE sponsorship space

All blog posts will be auto-posted on FACEBOOK and TWITTER (The words ‘SHARE’ & ‘RETWEET’ are not to be underestimated)

Posts that might normally be posted directly on a social media outlet will now be posted to the blog and viewers will be directed to it through social media in order to make sponsors more visible

 

We have been extremely lucky in having other local websites and blogs direct viewers to our site on a consistent basis, each with thousands of readers of their own: 

Cincinnati Enquirer, Kentucky Post, CityBeat, Soapbox Media, Cincinnati Magazine, The Business Courier, Metromix, A-Line, Yelp, WCPO, UrbanCincy, 365Cincinnati, CincyChic, OTR Blog, iSpyCincy, 5chw4r7z, Thadd & Milan, OTR Gateway Quarter Blog, & many more.
