We are proud to announce that CWI Media & Marketing has partnered with Business Bullpen and upUPperiscope to form a new and highly unique online advertising platform designed specifically for local Virginia business wanting to reach local Virginia consumers. AdvertiseVA.com consists of five Web sites:

• The Butter Room - A weblog that provides the view from and of Virginia. Local Virginians cover technology, music, the arts, culture, food, and all things Virginia.
• myScoper.com - A free and easy, interactive calendar of events serving Southwestern and Central Virginia.
• TechHoops.com - The most comprehensive Virginia Tech basketball website. The home for hardcore Hokie basketball fans.
• VTHokieFans.com - Virginia Tech football news, information, commentary and a list of Hokie-friendly places to watch the games.
• The Water Heater - A space concoction in Roanoke.

Print ads in local newspapers can cost upwards of $1,500 for one full page ad for one issue. A pay-per-click campaign like Google Adwords can cost thousands of dollars per month and you only get plain text ads, plus you have to manage a complex list of keywords and campaigns. AdvertiseVA.com takes away all of the stress of online marketing. For less than the cost of a couple of full page print ads, you can run a full color 200×200 ad on all five of our sites for a full 12 months … that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days. Plus, we will send you an e-mail each week showing you how many times your ad has been displayed and how many people have clicked on it to get to your Web site. Can a newspaper or print publication provide those kind of statistics? For more information, visit www.AdvertiseVA.com, or call Gary Cope at (540) 522-1122, or send an e-mail to gary@cwimedia.com.
