Choosing a suitable listing plan
Each of the School Holiday Program listings have a map associated, displaying the location of the particular program. If you run several listings in one location, a single listing can be utilised to advertise all programs at the single location.
If you run programs in several locations, you will need to take out a multi-list plan.
- Split your programs into locations and then determine the number of listings you will require. eg. 10 programs at 3 locations = 3 listings. In this instance, you would select the Multi-list 5 plan and use the 2 extra listing slots to feature 2 programs, or run 2 combined program listings.
If you have more than 10 listings and are unsure of the most budget-friendly way to approach listing your programs, contact the SHP Team for assistance or download a listing kit here. SHP Listing Kit

What is a Single Listing?
A single listing is one of the advertising options for program providers.
Single listings run on an annual plan (charged annually) via PayPals’ secure platform.
A single listing appears in the search results for the category and location nominated when the program provider lists the program online. The SHP Team may adjust these settings and add location options in accordance with our search parameters.
The single listing contains a featured image, gallery images (extra images), contact details of the program provider, location details and program details, including dates, times and costs of the program. Website links and social media links are also contained within a single listing.

What is Multi-list 5?
The Multi-list 5 is one of the advertising options for program providers.
Multi-list 5 operates on an annual plan (charged annually). A multi-list 5 plan provides the program provider with the option of displaying 5 individual listings.
Each listing contains a featured image, gallery images (extra images), contact details of the program provider, location details and program details, including dates, times and costs of the program. Website links and social media links are also contained within a single listing.
The Multi-list 5 is an ideal listing option for those program providers who run multiple programs from multiple locations. The SHP Team suggests splitting the programs into locations and use 1 listing to advertise several programs from one location.
Alternatively, program providers may choose to utilise the 5 listings by splitting the programs into program category types. The map functionality for each listing will either be disregarded or show centre of the city/town.
Program providers may also opt to use a multi-list option to run 5 ads of the same program. If this option is utilised, the SHP Team suggests using different images and headings to attract attention and avoid multiples of identical listings.
We cater for large program providers from 2 – 100 listings.
