We're new. Forgive us for that, but you can get on the ground floor of a very few advertising opportunities if we've caught your fancy. But we'll be forthright. Those opportunities between now and late Q1 of 2025 are few and far between. As a matter of fact, they're far closer to few than between.
"We are advertising free. We'll stay that way for as long as possible. That means you're prospective audience will be reading in seclusion from ads, pop-ups, and web "takeovers" which have been known to drive a retiree, and plenty of others, to lose their minds. It also means we're sparing our readers from seeing ads about compression socks, Arizona oceanfront HOA properties, and gut-busting formulas that are more worthy of gut-punching snake oil. Our readers read in peace at The Peaceful Retiree."

You can hit us up for placement of your Sponsored Content, in narrative or video formats, on our website. For other more traditional placements like digital ads (ROS, native, leaderboard, footers, rectangles, billboards, skyscrapers and the like), you'll need to be patient for a while; perhaps a really long while.
But who knows how long that will last? We'll be shilling sponsorship of our monthly newsletter when subscribers tally into the thousands (we're almost there); we'll be hawking limited monthly eblasts of your products and services when you desire (in no time); and we'll be direct bartering for webinar, podcast, and strategic partnerships as we grow the brand. But when you're here, you'll see that no one's in a real hurry to leave. That's because we're sticky, and as an advertiser you want to be on a platform that's super-sticky. Retirees are typically extremely loyal. They don't bounce-around to nine other websites after viewing the first website. They have found a home at The Peaceful Retiree, and we hope you have, too.
For these services, we expect our prices to climb on a monthly basis, not only because our visitors will climb, but our reputation will, too. Have a look-see at the retirement blogs that are out there; all trying to reach 55 million US retirees with another 7 million joining the ranks every year.
There's nothing even remotely close to the depth, content quality, number of Editorial Contributors (we boast nearly 30), frequency of content displayed, and topics we cover.
We do it consistently, with purpose, and with themes that impact the entire audience segment.
We are unique, there's no one like us. And I should know. I ran my own multi-million-dollar ad agency for 40 years working with McDonalds, Foot Locker, Finish Line Sports, Honeywell, Tenneco, the NCAA, American Family Insurance, California Avocados, Champ Sports, Rakuten, El Pollo Loco, and a few hundred others.
Send me an email at bepeaceful@thepeacefulretiree.com and we'll bat around some ideas. A few years ago, I had a lot of answers, but now that I'm 70, I have a lot more questions. I'm glad I do.
