Advertising on Free For Catholics
Free For Catholics is a lead-generation service to companies and organizations who
want to reach individuals in the Catholic market. Advertisers of Free Offers
pay only when we send them an order for that Free Offer. Once this personal
information of our members who have ordered your Free Offer is acquired,
they are yours to service and market to into the future. We can promote
all kinds of offers such as free magazines, Bibles studies, trial memberships,
sample products, information brochures, catalogs, newsletters, and much
more. Our service is a great way to build your customer base or as a fundraising
vehicle.
We also offer text-based and banner advertising on the website for those
who prefer to take advantage the traffic that comes to FreeForCatholics.com
Unique Visitors
Through our traffic generation programs, we generate 100,000+ Catholics
per month to our website..
New Members
Of the total visitors to the site each month, 5% convert to members. New
members are those who order at least (1) Free Offer (they become members
during the sign up process of their first order).
Average Order
The average order of a member is (4) Free Offers.
Average Order of Featured Free Offers
Featured Free Offers are those Free Offers that a client is paying to
receive the orders. These are the Free Offers that our company gives the
most visibility. The average order of featured Free Offers is (2.7) of
the (4) Free Offers of the average total order. That means that over 50%
of all orders are featured Free Offers.
Highly Qualified Leads
We insure a highly qualified lead for our clients by limiting the amount
of Free Offers to (10) of the hundreds available. The average is (4).
They are also aware that we sell their names to other Catholic organizations
before they proceed in the checkout process. This is what causes 95% of
all visitors to leave without ordering. And this is precisely what we
want to happen. Only those serious about the Free Offers they want to
get will proceed through the order process.

Advertising Options
Featured Free Offers
Being featured on the Free For Catholics home page offers you the steadiest exposure.
Depending on the kind of offer you have, you can expect anywhere from 300-2,000
orders per month. All paying clients will be promoted within the down pages
of the website.
Bi-Weekly Email to Members
(2) times per month, we email our members with our "New Offers Update",
which alerts members of the new postings to Free For Catholics. In each email,
we have a "Free Offer of the Week" and four other featured Free
Offers heavily promoted.
Stand Alone Promotion
Free For Catholics sponsors can sponsor an offer by emailing to our master member
list with your stand alone offer. Once your promotion is approved by Free For Catholics
as something we are comfortable sponsoring, the email of your promotion
will come from us as sponsors. Members have opted in to receive emails
from Free For Catholics, so if we are sponsoring your offer, it is more likely
they will open the email and interact with it.
Budget Capping
For those on a specific budget, we can strategically give select exposure
to your Free Offer to insure only a specifically determined number of
orders per month. For example, if you can only afford $100 per month worth
of orders, we can give exposure to your offer so that you only get the
amount of orders for your Free Offer that add up to $100 in spending per
month.

Ad Submission Requirements
Free For Catholics creates the featured ads from image files you send us, which
are usually images of the offer and company logo. What we require from you
is the following:
- JPEG files of your offer images (at least 3 different ones, if possible,
so three ads can be created for rotation). A company logo helps as well.
We will accept GIF files if JPEG's are not available.
- Text copy that promotes the organization and Free Offer offer. Please
make sure this includes all that a person can expect to have happen
as a result of ordering your offer. For example, if a free magazine
order will result in a person getting an invoice that they need to write
"Cancel" on if they are not interested in further issues,
then this needs to be spelled out in the text. Please refer to posted
featured Free Offers currently on the website as a guide.
- The name and email address of the person who will be handling your
orders. We will need to set that person up to receive the order retrieval
link they use to retrieve orders.
- Billing information for our invoicing purposes (Company Name, contact
person, address, phone, fax, and email address).
All of the above are to be emailed to us.
