Not sure what's best?

Let's look at your goals or what you are hoping for!

I want to see website traffic:

I'd recommend the Featured Event Listing! That comes with a direct link, placed 3 separate places in Hope's email newsletter. Or, a solo feature with an add-on of an instagram story with your link, or your link in Hope's bio.

I want to use my own photos or videos, can I?

For some features, yes! For the "Things to Do" and "Businesses to Checkout" Features, you'll send me an image and I assemble the ad for you. For the "Carousel with Text" we can do a combination of provided photos and photos taken by the ROCthecitywithHope Team. Videos are on a case by case basis and must be viewed before approval.

I want to promote a specific link:

I am happy to include a link in your caption, but links on Instagram and TikTok are not clickable. You are welcome to purchase a space in the link in the ROCthecitywithHope bio or an Instagram Story with a direct link if it is not an easy one to Google or manually type in.

When should I choose between a reel and a carousel?

Carousels with text can be more accessible and potentially reach a higher amount of people because they can read at their own pace. Carousels with text can also be a great option if you have photos you would like to use in your feature. Reels are best when movement is essential to advertising your business.

Don't take it from me, here are what real clients of mine are saying!

FAQ'S

Who follows ROCthecitywithHope?

Primarily women! Consistently across all of my platforms it is about 70% women, about 70% are in Monroe County with the hottest areas being the City of Rochester, Irondequoit, and Henrietta. Ages are pretty evenly dispersed but the majoriy are between 25 - 45.

What is the turnaround time after booking?

The further in advance I have you on my calendar, the better! Ideally a minimum of 2-3 weeks is preferred in order to schedule a site-visit. From there, I’ll create and edit the content and send for approval within 1 week of visiting. We’ll work together in the scheduling process to make sure that time-sensitive content is posted in a timely manner.

What is the procedure with press releases and press passes?

You are welcome to add my email address to your media list, Hope@rocthecitywithhope.com!

Media event attendance is based on availability and does not guarantee posting to the ROCthecitywithHope channels. Content that is newsworthy may be posted and shared at my discretion and will not be available for review or edits by the organizer.

I pride myself on being a cheerleader for our region and aim to only provide positive feedback on organizations in Rochester.

Who do I work with?

I love working with small, local businesses in the hospitality and tourism industry! My followers especially love the food & beverage scene and attractions. Wondering if you qualify? Let’s hop on a 15 minute introductory call to learn more about your organization!

Do I accept gifts, in-kind products or services or event admission as payment?

While I appreciate it is never free for a business to provide in-kind products and services, I unfortunately do not have the capacity to accept unpaid work at this time.

Exceptions for special events may be made at my discretion based on the benefit it provides to my online community.

For more information, feel free to send me an email at Hope@rocthecitywithhope.com

Do I provide donations for non-profits?
