Restaurants, real estate agents, hotels, shops, events, service providers, and more. Anyone who wants to reach Bansko’s most engaged local audience.
If you choose the editorial/main story or primary ad placements, we’ll provide you with a custom report to show how your ad has performed in each issue it was present in terms of impressions and clicks. You could also bundle a special promotion just for Bansko Buzz readers to help track the performance of your ads.

Bansko Buzz is aimed at tourists, expats, and nomads who are actively interested in Bansko’s events, culture, and lifestyle. Your ad placement will be included in the Bansko Buzz, a trusted local guide that readers turn to for updates on events, news, and community happenings.
Consistency is the main thing to think about when considering sponsoring in the Buzz. If you put one text ad up for a 4-week block and expect your business to be flooded with visitors, think again. Ongoing and continuous marketing and advertising will help you grow your business and become a well-known and trusted name amongst your current and future customers.
Yes, unless you ask us to remove them (sometimes important for time-based offers, but we’d tend to just remove the offer and leave the ad). The newsletters on the website are published approximately one week after they are sent to email subscribers.
The links are all nofollow to comply with guidelines set out by search engines for sponsored content, but the ads are displayed here on the website just as they would be in the newsletter.
Traffic to the website is growing, so you may find that long after a promotion, someone will still see the ad for your business.
Your ad will be featured on the Bansko Buzz homepage and at the bottom of other pages on the website, where all newsletters are archived and new readers discover content.
(Website traffic is growing. Monthly stats available on request.)
