Why partner with us

Your customers are already here. Be the name they see.

One audience, no waste

Everyone on PlugServices came for African events. You are not paying to reach people who will never be your customers.

Right when they spend

Our visitors are planning a night out and buying tickets. That is exactly when they book the outfit, the hair, the food, the ride and the photographer.

Local, in your city

Featured partners appear on their city’s event page, in front of the people who will actually walk through your door.

Seen again after the party

Guests come back to find themselves in the official photos. Gallery sponsors are on the gallery and in the “your photos are ready” email.

Proof, not promises

We count how often your placement is shown and clicked and send you the numbers. Your link is tagged, so the visits show in your own statistics too.

Low risk, easy to start

From $19 a month. No contract, no automatic billing. If we do not accept your application, you get every dollar back.

Who you’ll reach

Questions

Everything you need to decide.

Who will see my business?

People from the African diaspora in Canada and the USA who use PlugServices to find events, buy tickets and find their event photos. Our target audience is 200,000: the followers of all PlugServices social pages, in our target market. The other numbers on this page are counted on our own site.

When does my placement go live?

You pay when you apply. We review every partner within 2 business days, and your time starts on the day your placement goes live, not the day you pay.

What if my application is not accepted?

We refund your payment in full.

How will I know it works?

We count how many times your placement is shown and clicked, and send you the numbers two weeks before the end, with a link to renew. Your link is also tagged, so the visits show up in your own website statistics.

Does it renew automatically?

No. There is no contract and no automatic billing. Renewing adds the time to the end of your current period, so you lose no days.

What do I need to apply?

Your business name, a logo (PNG, JPG or WebP), one line about what you do, your website or Instagram link, and a card or Interac e-Transfer to pay.

Are partner links marked as paid?

Yes. Partner links are marked as sponsored, as search engines require for paid placements, and the sponsor box in our email is labelled “Sponsored”.

Your next customers are planning their weekend on PlugServices.

Be the business they see. Apply in two minutes, go live as soon as we approve.
