As part of YapaTree’s commitment to the local business community, we provide a range of free & low cost advertising solutions.
These are specifically designed to help small businesses engage with YapaTree readers & potential customers.
Even better, most of our free opportunities are self-serve for maximum convenience.
Free Advertising Opportunities in Cuenca
1. Cuenca Yapas & Friends Facebook Group
YapaTree spends a lot of time administrating and moderating our Cuenca Facebook Group. Group posting rules allow:
- Relevant Cuenca businesses to advertise every 30 days. A relevant business is one that has customers in Cuenca, it doesn’t mean you need to be physically stationed in Cuenca.
- YapaTree Card Partners can advertise every 7 days.
We put a lot of effort into maintaining a positive experience in our Facebook Group. Please don’t just see it as a dumping ground for your promotions every month. Our core mantra is “give more than you take”. For business advertisers, this also means:
- Answering questions from others
- Contributing your own posts
- Generally being a good citizen of the internet by being respectful of others and certainly no trolling.
Whilst we want to support your business, we do remove businesses that only see it as a place to promote their businesses without further contributions.
How to submit a free business post to Cuenca Yapas & Friends:
- Join Cuenca Yapas & Friends Facebook Group. Either as your business or personal profile.
- Submit a post to the group about your business/promotion. Just be sure you’re within the group rules & haven’t posted an ad during the previous 30 days (or 7 days for YapaTree Card Partners).
2. Forum Posts on YapaTree.com
These posts might just be “Cuenca’s Best Kept Advertising Secret“. Why? Because we also include a selection of these free posts in our popular Monday newsletter. These newsletter placements are prominent and advertisers receive substantial traffic.

We allow all members of the public to post their events at no cost. YapaTree Card Partners also have access to recurring event listings and we offer to post their events for them.

4. Pet Adoptions on YapaTree.com
We allow registered pet adoption centres to post their pets for adoption on YapaTree.com. There is no cost for this. We teach the adoption centres how to upload their own pet adoption listings and include one listing as “This Week’s Forever Friend” in our Monday newsletter.
Please reach out to us if you’d like to discuss:
- Getting access to upload pets for adoption; or
- Perhaps you want to volunteer to help upload pet listings on behalf of the foundations? That would be amazing as they need the help.
5. Apply to the YapaTree Membership Card Program
Our membership card program is the biggest and most successful in Cuenca, with over 50 different local and national businesses participating. The program has zero costs to our partners. We encourage interested businesses to submit an Expression of Interest here. Please note, we receive a lot of applications and can only admit a small percentage of businesses that apply.
