For Jersey businesses
Be there when Jersey checks the weather
People open a weather app most days of the year — before work, before the school run, before deciding what to do with a Saturday. Ours is the one made for this island. There are four ways to be in it: list your business free if you trade on the sand, add your branding to that listing, boost your beach to take its top spot, or run an advert whether you're on a beach or not. One account covers all four.
No banners, no pop-ups, no ad network, and never more than one partner on a screen — just your business, looking like it belongs.
Why an advert here beats a Facebook ad
- Perfect timing. People see your card while planning the next few hours of their day — not scrolling in bed. And they check the weather far more often than they go to the beach.
- Zero clutter. One advert per screen, ever. You are not one of forty ads; you are the only one.
- Local trust. The app is free, tracking-free and made on-island. Your card inherits that goodwill — it looks like part of the app, because it is.
- Flat pricing. No auctions, no per-click, no surprises. One price, one invoice, cancel monthly.

Text over background
Your background, our words over it. Stays sharp at any size and screen readers can read it. Recommended.
Static image including text
Your own design, run exactly as you send it — we add nothing over it.
Video
A short, silent video — it keeps its place as people move around the app instead of restarting. This one is our own advert, running in the app right now. A gentle GIF or WebP loop works too.
Advertiser terms
Longer commitments cost less, and are paid once at the start rather than monthly. Prices are per advert — take a second slot and it's a second advert on its own term.
| Term | You pay | Works out at | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthlyrolling · 30 days' notice | £59/month | £59/month | — |
| 6 months | £295 upfront | £49.17/month | 1 month free |
| 12 months | £590 upfront | £49.17/month | 2 months free |
Upfront terms aren't refundable — please pick the one you're comfortable with. We'll contact you before your term ends and you get first refusal on your slot; if you don't renew in time it goes to whoever is next on the waiting list.
Founding partners: prices are reviewed each spring, but your rate is locked — for anything you've already paid, and for as long as you keep your slot. Start at today's price and it stays today's price.
We'll happily design the artwork for you — making things like this is our day job at Pinkie & the Brain.
Never more than 6 advertisers
One business can hold more than one slot. Each is a separate advert with its own artwork and its own bill, and air time follows the count — three of 6 means your adverts come round three times as often as a single-slot advertiser's, and all 6 means yours are the only adverts in the app. The cap is on slots, not businesses, so the 6th slot is the last one however it's shared out.
How many people will see it?
Fetching the latest figures…
We'd rather you heard it from us than worked it out later: this is a small audience, because the app has only just launched. Advertising with us today is backing something early, not buying an audience — which is exactly why the rate you start on is the rate you keep as the numbers grow.
Downloads are all we can tell you, and that's deliberate: the app contains no analytics and no tracking, so nobody — including us — counts views or clicks. Your card simply takes its guaranteed turn in the slot, all day, every day.
Artwork spec
- Image: JPEG or WebP, 1200 × 400 px (3:1 landscape — a wide banner), max 100 KB for a still or 400 KB animated. Keep text large — most people see it on a phone in sunlight. Finished artwork runs exactly as you send it — we don't overlay anything on it.
- Animation welcome — as MP4 video, always silent. A short muted MP4 plays smoothly on every phone and, unlike a GIF, carries on from where it was as people move around the app instead of restarting. We host it ourselves in Jersey, so nothing about your advert or the people seeing it ever reaches a third party — no YouTube, no embeds. An animated GIF or WebP still works for a gentle touch of motion; put your name in the first second either way, because nobody owes your advert a fifteen-second watch.
- Copy: one useful, concrete sentence. "Kayak hire on the slip from 10am — show the app for 10% off" beats "Jersey's premier watersports experience".
- Button: goes straight to your site, menu, directions or phone — never a tracking link or third-party redirect.
- No artwork? Send us your logo and offer — we'll design the card and you approve the final version.
How your placement runs
- One ad slot per screen, shared fairly. Every advertiser's card takes its turn in that slot on a fixed clock — currently 120 seconds per turn, the same schedule for every user. No stacking, no second slot, ever.
- A guarantee you can check with a stopwatch. With 6 advertisers you hold every ad slot in the app for ~2 hours of every day, and someone browsing sees your card roughly every 12 minutes of use. We guarantee your share of screen time by arithmetic, not by measurement — because we don't measure users, full stop.
- Never more than 6 advertisers. That cap is the product. When we're full, we're full — waitlist with first refusal.
- Monthly, no lock-in. Invoice first, card goes live within a day of payment. Renewals on the 1st of each month; stop any time.
- Changes are free. New offer, new artwork, seasonal menu — we update your card same-day, no app release needed.
The rules that keep the slot valuable
Jersey businesses only. One advert card per screen, always below the content people came for — never above tide times or safety notes. We decline gambling, vapes, alcohol-led promotions and anything competing with safety messaging, and we may decline or remove any placement. Strict? Yes — it's why being on here means something.
Ready when you are
