How can a business or event be featured on ANSETT?

Updated

ANSETT accepts submissions from businesses, storytellers, and event organisers who want to be listed on its national directory of Australian services, travel, tourism, and entertainment. According to the site, submitting is free, and every feature is reviewed before it appears. To be considered, you need to explain what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to ANSETT's readers.

What ANSETT is looking for

ANSETT describes itself as a national directory covering Australian services, travel, tourism, and entertainment. Its existing listings show the range of what gets featured:

Category Example listing
Services The Internet, by Josh Withers — a web development studio for small Australian service businesses
Weddings Brisbane Marriage Office — fast, affordable marriage ceremonies
Travel Daves Private Charter Tours — group adventures
Tourism Mountain River Flower Patch — pick-your-own bouquets in the Huon Valley
Photography Mike Stevens Photography — portraits and commercial work for Melbourne families, businesses, and clubs
Services HutchTV — a Hobart video production company covering corporate film, live streaming, events, and drone work

The common thread is that each listing is tied to a specific Australian place or audience and states plainly what the business does. If your submission reads like a generic advertisement rather than a concrete answer to "what do you do and who is it for," it is less likely to fit the format.

How to submit

  1. Go to the ANSETT site at ansett.com.au and find the "Submit to be featured by ANSETT" entry point.
  2. Prepare your description. The site asks you to tell readers what you do, what is happening, and why it matters to them. Write for a reader deciding whether to contact you, not for a search engine.
  3. Include the essentials — your business or event name, what you offer, and where you operate. Listings on the site pair a short description with a link to the business's own site.
  4. Submit and wait for review. Every feature is reviewed before it appears, so expect a check rather than instant publication.

What to keep in mind

  • Free does not mean automatic. The site states that submitting is free, but review is part of the process. A submission can be declined or held.
  • Businesses, stories, and events all qualify. The submission prompt explicitly covers all three, so you are not limited to a commercial listing.
  • The "why it matters" line is doing real work. ANSETT's own examples are written as short, specific pitches — a reader should understand your relevance in one or two sentences.
  • You will need a destination link. Existing entries point to the business's own website, so have that URL ready.

If your goal is simply to browse what is already listed, the directory is organised by category and region, and no submission is required.
