Sponsor a local business listing
Sponsoring is completely optional. Free listings remain available for local businesses, groups and useful services. Sponsored listings simply give businesses extra visibility and help cover the practical costs of running Costessey.net.
We want sponsorship to feel useful and transparent, not intrusive. Sponsored listings are clearly labelled, and community information stays at the heart of the site.
As we're building and populating this website, we're offering the first few sponsored listings for £250 per year. If demand increases for sponsored listings, we may decide to increase the price of future sponsor opportunities to cover any increase in costs.

To sponsor a listing, simply submit a free listing for your business then contact us to enquire about becoming a sponsor. We'll confirm you're happy and then send you an invoice. We'll then update your listing to be one of our sponsors. Thank you for considering it!
