Advertising

Here is some critical information for both visitors and vendors regarding advertising on SantaCon.info.

General policy

SantaCon.info is primarily a non-commercial free service run by Websanta to help people participate in a local SantaCon event.

Websanta doesn’t receive any money from or on behalf of any of the event organizers and instead relies on advertising displayed on the SantaCon.info website to contribute to the costs of running it.

Current (2025) status update

There are currently 2 types of ad on the site:

  1. Ads from vendors that have a direct line of communication with Websanta and have an offer in line with the "Vendors" policy (see below). While these offers remain current, they will appear on the Gear/buy-santa-suits.html page and the "🎅️ Gear" link in the nav section at the top of each page will be marked with an asterisk/star. Once they have expired - usually just before Christmas - they will no longer be shown and the asterisk/star will also disappear.
  2. Ads from Google. These used to be relevant and well-behaved but I’ve had reports that indicate they’ve become less relevant (personalized) and, in some cases, quite intrusive. Sorry if either of these issues affect you. As far as I can tell, the personalization is something you have to control yourself and I can control only the quantity & insertion points. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out how to do a good job of this and, again, as far as I can tell, it seems to be either too much or none at all.

I did also have some Amazon ads on the site but they stopped displaying for some reason that I haven’t been able to figure out yet so I’ve disabled them for now.

Vendors

There are currently 2 key requirements for the placement of ads on SantaCon.info:

  1. They must be relevant to people attending SantaCon (Santa has absolute discretion regarding this).
  2. They must offer some kind of benefit, such as a discount, not available anywhere else.

If you are a vendor wishing to promote your products/services, please Contact Santa directly via e-mail.
