Champion of My Heart Market Niche

The pet market boasts some 47.7 billion in spending per year. And, everyone in the industry knows it’s the women in the family making the vast majority of product and service purchase decisions.

(By saying that, we mean no offense to the small, active group of men in the Champion of My Heart community. It’s just that statistically speaking, we know buying habits.)

Thanks to active readers and the real relationships formed, we understand where our community fits in the pet market as a whole — the top 20% … easily. Champion of My Heart readers are indeed the minority of dog owners who likely bring 80% of the spending and stability into the pet market.

We’re happy to discuss your individual advertising / marketing campaign needs, including a custom price package to best suit your budget. We approve advertisers based on their match to our own brand image and goals and to the needs of our readers.

For two reasons, we do not sell text-only links in the sidebar or in individual blog posts:

  1. It’s considered a “black hat” link building strategy by major search engines.
  2. Most of the link-only requests we receive come from dubious or unrelated sites.

Advertising Rates

  • One-month ad placement in blog sidebar ($100)
  • Three-month ad placement in blog sidebar ($225)
  • Six-month ad placement in blog sidebar ($400)
