Expenses, Prices & Banner Adverts

Yesterday we were informed that our running cost will be increasing yet again. We are a very small business, obviously this will have a a big effect, but we will not be making any changes to the prices that we charge. We will however have to tighten up on some of the services that we offer for free but cost us money, time & resources to provide.

Classifieds
If you are posting free adverts in the classifieds, please ensure that the guidelines have been followed to qualify as a free advert, if not the standard payment will apply.

Events.
All open events will remain completely free, but if posting a commercial event; clinics, demos, training courses, course, or arena hire (clear round & book a slot are classed as course/arena hire), table top or tack sales, car boot sales, auctions, promotional event, etc .... There is a £5 admin charge unless held at a venue or organised by business or individual that has a Standard Directory Listing, organised by a BRC recognised club or organisation such as the BHS, NPS or similar, or held primarily in aid of a registered charity.

If the event contains both open & commercial events, the commercial event will take precedence, the commercial event rules & possible charges will apply.

None of the above has changed, but we cannot carry on as we are & must be stricter on the policing of entries for the NFED to continue. We will also be asking for organisers to use the submission form rather than Emailing event details. Emails are often missing required information & we do not have the time to chase it up or search for it.

A new FAQ has been added Why Hasn’t My Event Appeared in the Diary?

Banner Adverts
We do have a few banner advert vacancies which we have not advertised. Banners rotate throughout the site & link directly to your own website or directory listing. The listing (normally £40.00 per annum) is included in the cost.

Banner prices are:

Subscribe & Save: £7.50 Monthly Subscription with PayPal. Save 10% & no more renewals to worry about.

Single Payment via the shopping cart: Card, PayPal or Bank Transfer accepted.£100 per year (£100 per year) or £60.00 for 6 months (£120 per year).

If you are interested in a banner for your business, please get in touch.

Hopefully the above will all help us to keep the unique NFED online. In the meantime, we will continue to work on the art side of the CK Art-NFED partnership & will be launching a line of wearable art soon including many equestrian themed items.
