Could you sponsor a Slugger O’Toole?

As regulars will know from our several appeals for donations, finding the money and time to keep Slugger in the fashion to which it has become accustomed is a perennial issue for us at Slugger Central. Even so, it is still currently one of Ireland’s largest and most well read independent news and opinion sites. Our statistics for last months for instance stand at: 40,562 unique visitors; 114,965 visits; 1,016,190 page views; and 1,536,620 hits. Larger, we suspect, than some smaller newspapers.So far, we’ve been able to keep ahead of the curve by some hard work on the part of our bloggers and generous donations from our readership and by getting the best deal from our hosts. We’ve also defrayed costs by using standard advertising tools such as Blogads and Google ads. But we have now acquired the means to offer our own bespoke ads, available on a weekly or monthly basis to Northern Irish businesses, professional organisations, and voluntary associations who wish to promote the ongoing debate.

We are not looking to be taken over, nor to be subsumed into a larger brand. Indeed Slugger’s single strongest credential is its determination to remain independent whilst attempting to give voice to all sections of Northern Irish political and cultural societies. We’d rather not compromise those values nor would not wish you to compromise yours either. But if you think Slugger could make a good partner for you or your organisation, and you have a budget to spend on supporting what we believe is a vital public good, why not drop me line at: mick.fealty [at] gmail [dot] com.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
