Why join the Hungry Musky
Gift Shop,
Our Great Things to Do -- Great Places to Stay Section,
or Our Good Places to Eat & Drink Section?
Cost effective:
Many places only offer a
banner for $6 per month - and some charge Much More!
BUT WITH US, if your business qualifies,
YOU CAN GET AN ENTIRE PAGE designed and hosted for $20 per month!
And, any additional page is only $5 per month each once you buy
your first!
Feature photos, email links or links back to your main web site
and increase your visibility with us! Let people know about
your northwoods craft or place to go -- and your history!
Qualified businesses:
We will only accept businesses that embody
some facet of the Wisconsin northwoods spirit and are positive.
This does not mean that the business has to necessarily originate
from Wisconsin -- but rather exhibit an appreciation for it through
their products and/or services. An example might be a writer
from Chicago who writes books about the northwoods.
We will not accept any businesses
that have inappropriate material like pornography and none that
encourage illegal activities. We reserve the right to take down
any posted page that violates these conditions (with no refund
to the customer). We reserve the right to refuse to allow any
business / person to post on our site if we deem the content
inappropriate for the theme that we want.
Why join our community?
We believe that we create a better
quality site because ...We are building
a specific "town" feel based on people who love the
northwoods of Wisconsin. Because of this we feel that we differentiate
ourselves from most other sites about Wisconsin. This is also
the reason why we limit who we accept to advertise and / or participate
in this site. We also believe in controlling the look and placement
of the advertising (for the most part -- however, we can be flexible).
This way we can maintain the integrity of the "feel"
of the website.
Our design team shares a love of the northwoods
of Wisconsin and also some have over 15 years of traditional
graphic design experience. Your page will be "created"
not just "posted." We have photoshop expertise that
can help transform your personal images into beautiful accents
for your site -- no more generic, bland clip art.
If you're looking for "glitz - ie.: flashy, slick stuff"
you're in the wrong place. We are consciously trying to maintain
a vintage look to our site.
Our marketing plan...
We are a newer company and we are continuously
striving to get our name out through reciprocal business relationships,
print advertising and reciprocal links & more! Email
us with questions!
Reasonable rates ...
See column at right for Advertising options
and rates...
Some newspapers ask $300.00 per month just for a banner! Some
Wisconsin sites ask $25.00 - $30.00 per month for a small ad!
We are continuously growing and offer Extremely reasonable rates!
We can provide other services ...

Advertising Options:
Options:
*We only accept (1) year
contracts*

Logo & Title of Business that
links to your site. This appears in the Hungry Musky. You can
put that same "Ad" in the "Northwoods Vacationland
Album" for an additional $2 / month = $24 / year charge.
$7 / month = $84 / year:
Single Web Page Package:
Logo & Title of Business that links to your site, 1 web page
featuring up to 8 photos, link back to your main site, your email
address, and "Ad" (see above option) placement back
in the "Northwoods Vacationland Album"
*Once page is approved by you and posted, any further corrections
will be made with a minimal additional cost to you.
Why have only one page when you
can inexpensively showcase much more of your business
online?
Multiple Web Page Package:
$7/mo. for the first page (and all that is included in the Single
Web page package) and then $2 per month for each additional page
(featuring up to 8 photos, link back to your main site and your
email address). *Once each page is approved by you and posted,
any further corrections will be made with a minimal additional
cost to you.
***Also, if you
donate a story, memory or recommendation of a place to go, we
will put a link on that back to your page in the Hungry Musky!***
What about Shopping Carts?
Currently, we only
put Paypal shopping carts on store pages. If you have a Paypal
account, then you would provide us with some simple information
and we could install shopping carts for a one-time fee of $10.00.
Any additional changes to the carts or additions after the initial
page is done will charged separately.
If you don't have
Paypal, it's simple, FREE and easy to use.
www.paypal.com
Payment Terms:
We will not begin working on your page / art until we get payment
from you.
Our preferred method:
Paypal - we will accept instant cash payments or credit card
payments Contact us directly via email
expressing what you are interested in and we will contact you
with details about the cost and how to pay us directly through
paypal.
Contact Us Today!
SnailMail - we will accept moneyorders or personal
checks (with a 10-day delay to wait for the check to clear)
How the process works:
1). Initially you email us with information and photos
(that are 72 dpi and no larger than 3"x3") and your
initial idea of what type of page you would like. For example,
telling us if you'd like your store picture at the top or bottom,
general thoughts on placement of items...etc...
2). Then we would email you confirming your order and
also giving you an estimated time of initial completion. (You
will be able to make minor corrections or additions one time.
Any additional corrections or additions will be charged separately.)
We will then prompt you to pay us so we can begin work. We will
not work on any facet of your site and / post anything until
we are paid.
3). Once we receive payment we will create your page and
then contact you with where it is posted. At this time you can
make minor corrections (typos...taking an item out...etc...)
If there are no corrections
then the process will be complete unless you initiate (via email)
any further work on the page, which will be an additional charge.
4). If there are corrections, you will email them to us
and then we will make them and repost the page. At that time
we will notify you that the final page(s) is up.
**We may have to email you
with further questions in order to create your page / art. We
will try to be as least intrusive as possible.
**If you have corrections
at a later date you will need to contact us requesting them at
which time we will quote you on how much they will cost. We will
not make them unless we are paid to do so. We will try to do
them in a timely way (less than 2 weeks). However, if we run
into a snag, and it will take more than 2 weeks to complete,
we will notify you.
