Soleil’s To-Dos is far more than a huge distribution list!  Our primary business is our calendar of To-Dos!  Soleil’s To-Dos web traffic is generated by our newsletters (which contains links referring readers back to our website), our attendance at sophisticated To-Dos, a growing number of links contained on quality websites, word of mouth and our high search ranking, causing the website advertising with Soleil's To-Dos to extend to a sophisticated audience and beyond the limits of our subscription base.  Our  Sophisticates include Black CEOs of major organizations and corporations, attorneys, medical and financial professionals and an incredible number of entrepreneurs.  Our Sophisticates are upwardly mobile (spiritually and professionally) and celebrate the culture of the African Diaspora and beyond!   Whether you seek cultural diversity or target the  urban, African-American market, by advertising with Soleil’s To-Dos, your organization will reach Sophisticates who are active socially and professionally.

Soleil's Pick - Free ('cuz you can't pay us to pick your event)!

• Certain To-Dos are added to "Soleil's Picks," solely based on the whim and discretion of "The Publisher."  Certain things like a cool factor (not as in "invited celebrity guests"), thoughtfulness of planning, presentation, intrigue, etc., are what I look for.  You can send an e-mail requesting to have your event considered as Soleil's Pick (frankly, every event that passes my way is so considered) but you won't receive a response.  That's just too stressful, man!  You can, however, pay to upgrade your event listing, thereby giving it more visibility as a:

E-MAIL ADVERTISING

Solo E-Mail ($150)

Send an e-mail to Soleil’s Sophisticates containing information about your To-Do.  It is recommended that careful consideration be given to your subject line to ensure that it is compelling.  Solo e-mails must relate to an event eligible for inclusion on a Soleil's To-Dos calendar and are limited to one e-mail daily to ensure that such e-mails are not treated as “junk mail.”  Due to the frequency limit, priority will be given to those ads that include a discount, giveaway or other benefit.  Include a “Sponsor To-Do” to enhance your event listing!
 

E-MAIL NEWSLETTER ADVERTISING

Soleil’s To-Dos weekly newsletters are not only read multiple times by Soleil’s Sophisticates, they are also frequently forwarded to their colleagues and friends!  Thus, this method of advertising will lead to repeat views and may expand your visibility beyond our distribution list.  

Visibility is further enhanced by the posting of the current newsletter on the Soleil's To-Dos Home page each week - thus, your ad will also reach general website visitors.  And the Newsletter Archives gives your ad longevity!

Newsletter Banner Ad ($200)

Promote your business with a Banner Ad in our weekly newsletter.  Banner Ads are located at the top of the Soleil's To-Dos newsletter (700x100px) and provide great visibility for your business.

Newsletter Featured To-Do ($175)

Only one Featured To-Do is included with each e-mail, ensuring prominent visibility for your event.  Choose to display your event "plugger" (700w x 900h) or an image (240w x 360 h) along with a written description of your event.  Due to the frequency limit, scheduling priority will be given to those ads that include a discount, giveaway or other benefit.  (Newsletter Featured To-Dos must relate to an event eligible for inclusion on a Soleil's To-Dos calendar.)

Your logo (max 150x150px), as a hyperlink to your website, appears at the bottom of the Soleil’s To-Dos weekly newsletter.  Bundle four consecutive newsletters for $150.

QUID PRO QUO ADVERTISING

You better catch me before I “blow up” and become “we” (complete with an advertising & sales team lacking the authority to bend my (oops – I mean, Soleil’s To-Dos’) rigid pricing structure) because right now “I’m” open to a quid pro quo arrangement with appropriate events/organizations.  Contact Advertising@so-LAZE.com with your proposal!
