Website

In 2019, ncbeekeepers.org averaged over 4000 users with between 10,000 and 25,000 page views per month. The site sees most activity at the beginning of the year. Activity remains steady through the summer and then tapers off as a beekeeping season draws to a close. Advertisers may change their ads monthly. Ncbeekeepers.org ranks at or near the top when searching “Beekeeping” and “NC” or “North Carolina”. Local chapters promote bee schools on the site, drawing individuals newly interested in beekeeping as they search for information.

  • One Month $250
  • Single Quarter $500
  • Annual $1100
  • Advertisers who purchase ads in all four quarterly issues of the Bee Buzz and the Yellow Book received a discount on web ad rates ($200, $400 and $880 respectively).
  • Advertisers who purchase full year of web advertising and full page ads for all four Bee Buzzes will have their logo on the home page in the sponsor bar.

Statewide Meetings

NCSBA conducts annual statewide meetings in the Spring and Summer. To discuss sponsorship or vendor options, contact the State Meeting Vendor Coordinator.

Billing

Payment is due in full 30 days from receipt of invoice. We are trying to simplify everyone’s lives by sending a single, annual invoice to cover the entire year. Individuals wanting single month/issue/quarter will be invoiced once the agreement is made.
