VinatageDancer.com is the perfect place to get your brand and products in front of an audience that is looking to buy now. We seek to partner with USA and UK brands that promote vintage-inspired clothing and costumes. We offer a few options to advertising including product ads (the best option), banner ads, and social media shares.
Product Placement Ads
Get your best selling clothing, shoes and accessories included in VintageDancer.com Shopping Comparison pages. Product ads convert better than banners and have a larger reach than sponsored articles.
This is the best option for small or mid-size retailers who do not have an affiliate program. (See Affiliate product placements below if you have an affiliate program. )
- Choose a minimum of 5 product placements starting at $10 per product, per month. (Less than 5 products may be possible but with some limitations).
- All product listings run for 3 months (90 days) at a time. You can cancel after 1 month if not satisfied with the results.
- You can choose which products you want to place or let us choose based on our data on what is selling well right now. You can replace an item with another from your shop by contacting us at any time during your purchase period.
- Product listings include a product image, item name, price, and your logo (Etsy.com, Ebay.com, and Amazon.com hosted shops will only display the Etsy, eBay or Amazon logo) Product images will look best if they have a vertical orientation. We use the pictures already on your website – no need to send us photos.
- Products are listed on all appropriate product categories. For example, a “1950s dress” may also be listed with “Swing Dresses,” “Retro Dresses,” “Tiki Dresses, ” “Pinup Dresses” etc. We give you as much exposure as we can.
- New products are added to the top of the page (more than 5 products will be rotated over a month’s time). This ensures you will get maximum exposure. After that, products are listed by popularity/number of clicks. We put extra effort into keeping our advertiser products in prime positions.
- It will take 3 to 5 days to get your products listed on the website.
- You can use your own Google Analytics or similar tracking software to see how much traffic you are receiving from VintageDancer.com. We can provide you will click counts from our own internal software once a month if needed. Amazon, Etsy and eBay shops can also include a sales report for each purchase period.
- Examples of Advertiser Traffic (Clicks)
- Advertiser 1: 5 products, 1-2 categories each, 700 clicks per months
- Advertiser 2: 10 Products, 2 categories, 1,000 clicks per month
- Advertiser 3: 10 Products, 3-5 categories, 2,400 clicks per month

Who can Advertise?
- We are particular about working with reputable brands that our audience will want to purchase from. Since our audience is mostly USA and UK shoppers, we require all products be shipped from the USA, UK, and Australia arriving within 7-10 working days. Some exceptions are made for global sellers on Etsy.
- Websites need to have the following: About page, contact information: phone number/ email/ mailing address, origin of product, shipping location (country), clear shipping rates, favorable return policy, positive reviews, and unique product photography.
- Vintage clothing resellers are also welcome. In most cases we would link to a category within your website/Etsy shop rather than a single item.
- Handmade /custom clothing and accessories are encouraged.
