Advertising Packages Expatious – Your Expat Community Forum
The Expatious Forums is a high growth community forum for Swiss expats served pages. We offer you an excellent opportunity to place your company’s ads in front of all these Expatious enthusiasts for a fraction of the price of print advertising.
The Expatious Forums were founded end 2010 and we have grown at an astounding rate over the past year. The majority of our membership is here to ask and share information about housing, leisure, banking, holidays and other aspects of making live as an expat in Switzerland better. With tons of expat related information and helpful members and staff in the forums, each member can almost always find an answer to their question, the part they need in the classifieds, or just hang out in the lounge with other like-minded ‘Expatious people’.
Why You Should Advertise with Us Instead of ….
No question about it, we are the Internet’s fastest-growing Swiss Expat site and we’ve spent a lot of time focusing on SEO (search engine optimization), which means we simply out-rank most of the competition on many popular search phrases and terms relating to Expat related matters. These phrases link to pages on our site your ad could be displaying on. In fact, over 45% of our daily visitors come from search engines. And, we won’t dissapoint you on your ad campaign. Our advertising rates are priced much better than print media. And our members are all Swiss Expatious enthusiasts, so placing your ads on this site will directly target your audience.

The Fine Print
- Prices are in effect from 1 July 2013 until further notice
- Ad campaign pricing will be reviewed every April and changes will be posted end of April so you can determine your marketing strategies
- All campaign payments are due on a week ahead of the advertising starting date
- Payments not made on time will result in the immediate removal of all ad images, the sponsor forum and vendor access. NO exceptions! If there is a waiting list for the campaign, the campaign will be sold to the next company in the queue.
- Payments must be made by PayPal. We accept other methods of payment after review.
- All ad images must be “work safe”. We will NOT allow banners of bikini-clad ‘models’ (unless relevant to Swiss Expats).
- We reserve the right to terminate any campaign early for any reason. A pro-rated refund will be given if this happens
- Sponsors MUST maintain a good reputation on the forums. If the membership starts complaining about a sponsor being a ‘scam’, the sponsor’s campaign will come to an end.
- Any links to landing pages containing spyware, malware, or anything else of this nature will result in immediate termination of the campaign
