Personal Message
The Personal Message feature, available only to sponsors of programs listed on ShawGuides, turns your listing into a mini-website that enhances your presence, increases the amount of information you can provide, and will at least double or triple your response. Features include:
Your 250-word Personal Message appears above your free listing, providing an enticing, detailed description of your programs.
Your 4-panel slide show displays above your Personal Message and provides an eye-catching visual of your programs.
Your 25-word capsule description and thumbnail image appear:
1) In the right column on your topic Home Page
2) At the top of Search Results pages
3) In the right column of listings that do not have Personal Messages
No competing Google or other sponsor ads appear on listings with Personal Messages.
The cost for the Personal Message is $150/3 months, $275/6 months, or $500/12 months (less than $1.50/day). Changes to your text and images can be made at any time.
Would you like us to create a compelling Personal Message for you? Most Personal Messages are created by our editors and artists. We will write your capsule and message and design a slide show from your website or images you submit, subject to your review and approval. There is no extra charge for this service, which usually takes only a day or two.
To submit your images and/or message and subscribe, click the "Add Personal Message" link at the top of your My Listing page.
