Advertise on CapeMarkets

CapeMarkets reaches over 120,000 followers and subscribers across Facebook (75,000), Instagram (29,000) and email (16,000) – an engaged, niche audience of market-goers, shoppers and experience-seekers across Cape Town and the Western Cape. If you’re running a market, fair, festival, pop-up or expo, this is the audience you want to reach.

There are several ways to work with us – from a free directory listing to a full multi-channel campaign.

The CapeMarkets directory is the Western Cape’s most comprehensive market listing resource. Getting your market listed is the first step – and it’s free.

Three listing tiers are available, from a basic free listing to a Featured profile with priority placement in search results. Paid listings also receive 15% off additional advertising packages.

For markets and events of all kinds – fairs, festivals, pop-ups and expos – wanting targeted multi-channel promotion, our once-off advertising packages deliver a coordinated campaign across social media, newsletter and website.

Packages range from a single boosted post to a full campaign with dedicated social posts, a CapeMarkets-produced Instagram Reel, and priority newsletter placement. Earlybird discounts apply when booked in advance.

Join a Seasonal Guide

CapeMarkets produces dedicated seasonal guides that reach our full audience at the moments they’re most actively looking for markets. Inclusion in a guide puts your event in front of an already-engaged, high-intent audience at exactly the right time.
