• You can then choose one of the available credit options; “Buy 500 credits” or “Buy 1000 credits” at a discounted price.
  • For information on advertising costs and how credits are spent, please refer to the section "Credit Cost and Usage", down below.

Step 3 — Design your advert and add your link:

• Add a short description (appears when a visitor hovers over the advert)
• Upload your advertisement file (in banner format; you will see a preview showing how your advert will look)
• Lastly, enter the URL of the webpage you want visitors to be directed to when they click on your advert.

Step 4 — Choose where your advert appears and go live:

• Select where you would like your advert to be shown (e.g. Ship for Sale, Ship for Charter, Design, etc.)
• You can then also choose the category in which your advert should appear (see categories in section above)
• Once you are satisfied with your advertisement, click “Active” to make it go live!

Our flexible credit packs make it easy to advertise on your terms. Each credit corresponds directly to ad performance — 0.05 credits per view, 5 credits per click on your advertisement, directing possible leads straight to your business.

• 500 Credits – €500
• 1,000 Credits – €900

All packages come with the auto-regenerate option enabled by default — ensuring your ads never go offline.

Credits are spent as follows:

• Each time one of your ads is viewed by a user, 0.5 Credits are subtracted from your total amount of credits.
• Each time a user clicks on of your ads, 5 Credits are subtracted from your total amount of credits.

Important: You will be notified when you have 100 credits left. As soon as there are no more credits, the advertisement will stop to show. You can activate the advertisement by buying credits again. 

NOTE: You will need a credit card to pay for the credit program. ShipSelector uses Stripe to handle the credit cards payments. In your account, you can find and download your invoice as soon a payment has been made.

For businesses that want consistent visibility, we offer monthly advertising subscriptions that automatically renew credits and keep your ads running. Enjoy discounted rates and predictable exposure.

For now, the automatic advertising options are still in development. However, if you’re interested in establishing a tailored partnership, feel free to contact our team at info@shipselector.com.
