Partner With Us
Put your business in front of passionate Southend United supporters through carefully selected partnerships that support independent fan coverage without getting in the way of our readers.
Partnerships built around the audience
The Shrimpers-online offers advertising and sponsorship opportunities for businesses that want to connect with an engaged Southend United audience.
We are an independent supportersβ website covering Southend United news, fixtures, matchdays, statistics, club history, away travel, ticket information and fan-focused features.
Rather than filling the website with conventional display advertising, our approach is to work with a smaller number of partners and give them meaningful, relevant exposure in appropriate areas of the site.
Relevant exposure without clutter
A focused audience
Reach Southend United supporters already engaging with club news, match information, history and fan content.
Year-round coverage
The website is updated throughout the season with match coverage, fixtures, statistics, guides, news and supporter features.
Strong local relevance
Southend and Essex businesses may benefit especially from the local audience, while suitable regional and national businesses are equally welcome.
Flexible partnerships
Partnerships can be tailored around your business rather than forcing advertisers into a standard banner package.
Advertising without getting in the way
Commercial partnerships help support The Shrimpers-online, but the experience of our readers comes first. We deliberately keep advertising unobtrusive and clearly identified, with partnerships placed where they naturally complement the website rather than interrupt it.
A smaller number of partners. Better visibility. Better integration.
