Advertise With Funtober

If you want to drive more customers and/or visitors to your event or business, we can help through various advertising packages. Several million people will visit Funtober between August 1st and November 30th. In our top metropolitan areas, we reach more than 100,000 people in each city over three months. We also have tens of thousands of people on our email list and social media.

NEW LISTINGS

If you would like to add your event, please Paypal $5 to [email protected] along with the details for your event in the notes section (please include a URL) and we will be in touch. This is a one-time fee, your event will be updated annually for free (you can send us details or we go look for updates annually). Events sent through our contact forms otherwise may not be added for the 2022 season. We get way too many emails through that form, and must prioritize our time when responding.

If you buy an ad spot for a featured listing, this fee is waived, and only the fee for the ad space is due. You have right of first refusal on the ad space for the following year, and whether you choose to advertise again or not, your event/farm will be updated annually.

UPDATE A LISTING

For several years we had the ability for site users/event organizers to update events, and we know some of you used it! However we removed it in 2022 after it was abused on one event page – we will try to bring back some part of it in the future. We are actively updating events (festivals, oktoberfests, and haunted houses) starting each summer but you can use the contact form below with UPDATE EVENT in the subject line with information or dates you’d like updated for that year.

      I am interested in details for including festival dates and possible banner placement. The perfect scenario would be for someone to contact me as soon as possible, as I just found this website and my event is 10/3/15. I’m really wanting to move away from print advertising in magazines.

      Thanking you in advance,

      We want people to rent our carousel band organ for Halloween festivals in Minnesota! It’s a carousel organ that plays buy itself it plays paper rolls like a player piano does but NOT a player piano. It’s fun for Halloween.

      Standard Rates

      First 5 hours $485.00

      Each Additional Hour $80.00

      Full Day $750.00

      Multiple Days $725.00/day

      We are occasionally asked why are prices “seem a little high”. We ask you to consider the following:

      If you hire a live band for your event you can expect to pay each musician at least $200 for an average 4 hour gig. For example a simple jazz trio would likely amount to $600. A larger contemporary band requiring sound equipment could cost well over $1,500 for a single occasion! And if a acoustic piano is required you can count on a minimum of $500 for the rental. For events lasting longer you can expect to pay considerable over time. Live bands also take thirty minute breaks and often end up eating your food and consuming drinks.

      Our band organ entertainment is ALL INCLUSIVE. We deliver, set it up, it requires no maintenance, it never stops for breaks, it doesn’t complain, and it won’t eat your food. All things considered THAT is a bargain!
