“As a new advertiser to Washbucket.net, I found their ad placement process to be simple, quick and extremely cost-effective.” Christine Munari, Colette’s Kitchen

We accept – indeed, we welcome – government-related, political advocacy and campaign advertising, including ads from trade groups, lobbyists, activists, grass-roots groups, and the like. We accept retail advertising, such as ads from service-industry businesses, restaurants, hotels, real estate interests, and the like.

We do not accept ads from sexually oriented businesses, such as adult movie houses or personals, or other ads with sexual content. We’re not prudes, merely respectable, and we think our target audience and advertisers will be most comfortable with that.

The bottom line: We see our advertisers as those who have a message that needs to be communicated to the political establishment.

Think about which style and placement would suit your needs and drop us note at info@washbucket.net or give us a call at (253) 238-5388. Let’s chat about ad sizes, placements and rates in the context of your budget.

Once you’ve selected which style works best, you can submit your ad via email. We’ll need a primary billing contact for invoice purposes, so please include a contact name, email address, phone number and physical address in your email. Upon receipt of your email and ad — typically the same day if received before close of business — we will generate an electronic invoice.  Payments may be made instantly and securely online using American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover card or bank transfer via PayPal or you can send us a check in the mail once you receive our invoice, whichever is most convenient.

Regardless of what advertising plan works for you, your advertisement rate is locked-in for the period you’ve selected — you will never be caught off guard by mid-contract rate escalations when advertising with us. And, all new advertisers receive 10% off their ad placement, with loyalty discounts extended beyond the initial placement period.
