This isn’t simple, boring, and ordinary advertising…
The entire webteam at FireCritic.com has found a way to market companies and products that it is unobtrusive to our readers, friends, and fans. Through advertising banners on the site, shares on Facebook, and mentions on Twitter we are able to get your company in front of our readers and publicize your products. We can even talk on the phone, without a bunch of fluff and BS, and decide what will be best for you and your company. Moreover, I rarely go anywhere without Captain Willie Wines Jr. (IronFiremen.com). We have a unique way of standing out in crowds. We say what we think and mean what we say.
Sure, you can continue to spend $$$$ on advertising with the large mainstream media sites if you want. What we have to offer is different. Very different. We have loyalty.
And no, we don’t let just anyone advertise with us. We have to like and believe in your products.
Our followers and network of friends rely on us to shoot them straight. So if you think that your company and/or products belongs on the pages of FireCritic.com or IronFiremen.com please give us a call 540-537-8158 or email us at firecritic@firecritic.com
