Advertise on Manito Manita

Advertise to Filipino gift buyers the moment they shop

When a group is shuffled, everyone finds out who they’re buying for and starts looking for a gift. Put your shop in front of them on the match screen, in the “your match is ready” email and on our gift guides, and see every view and click.

Christmas advertising in the Philippines, made simple

Manito Manita is where offices, schools and families draw names for their Secret Santa, Monito Monita and Kris Kringle exchanges. That makes it one of the few places online to reach people who are about to buy a gift, with a budget already set. Shopee and Lazada sellers, gift shops, bakeries and small businesses can book a sponsored spot in minutes and track every view and click.

Why it works

They’re about to buy

Your card appears right after people learn who they’re giving to, next to that person’s wishlist and gift ideas.

The budget is known

Every group sets a gift budget, usually ₱300 to ₱1,000. Your offer lands with people shopping in that range.

Offices, schools and families

Company teams, classes and big families run their Christmas exchanges here, often 20 to 60 people per group.

Placements and prices

Per seat. 3 seats per placement take turns evenly. Peak runs Nov 1 – Dec 20.

Best times to reach them

Weekday afternoons are busiest: people plan gifts at work.

How we count, in plain terms

Our own tracking, the same rules for every advertiser. It isn’t affected by ad blockers.

Viewable views

A view counts only when at least half of your card is on screen for one full second. Scrolling past doesn’t count.

Unique viewers

Each browser counts once per day, however many times the card is shown.

Emails and opens

Every email that includes your card is counted when it’s sent. Opens are estimates: some email apps load images automatically, others block them.

Real clicks only

Clicks pass through our link. Bots, email security scanners and repeat clicks within 30 seconds are filtered out.

Tagged for your analytics

Every link carries UTM tags, so visits from us show up in Google Analytics, Shopify or your shop’s own stats:

utm_source=manitomanita&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ad-128

Private by design

You see totals and ranges, like group budget and size, never names, emails or group details. Small groups of numbers are hidden.

Manage everything yourself

One account for all your ads. No emails back and forth.

Book in minutes

Pick a placement, upload your logo, write your card with a live preview, then pay.

Edit anytime

Change your headline, links or promo code. Your current card keeps running while we review the edit.

Test two versions

Add a version B. We rotate both and show which gets more clicks; keep the winner.

Weekly or monthly

Switch billing whenever you like. It changes from your next charge.

Cancel anytime

No more charges after you cancel. Your ad keeps running until the end of the period you paid for.

Waitlist when full

If all seats are taken, join the waitlist. We email you and hold the next free seat for 48 hours.

Questions

How much does it cost to advertise on Manito Manita?

From ₱300 a week for gift guide and registry placements, and ₱800 to ₱1,500 a week for the match screen, group page and shuffle emails in peak season (Nov 1 – Dec 20). Monthly billing costs less per week. There are no setup fees and you can cancel anytime.

Is this good for Shopee and Lazada sellers?

Yes. Most people here are about to buy a gift within a set budget, and your button can link straight to your Shopee or Lazada store, your website or your Facebook page. Add a promo code to see how many sales come from us.

Can a small business advertise for Christmas?

Yes. Booking takes a few minutes, there’s no agency or contract, and weekly billing lets you try one week first. It works well for gift shops, bakeries, gift boxes, personalised items, party suppliers and online sellers.

Who sees my ad?

Members of Secret Santa, Kris Kringle and Monito Monita groups in the Philippines (offices, schools, families and barkadas) at the moment they find out who they’re buying a gift for, plus visitors to our gift guides. Most groups set a budget of ₱300 to ₱1,000 per gift.

How do I pay?

With PayPal or a debit or credit card through PayPal, weekly or monthly. It renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime from your account.

What happens after I pay?

We review every ad, usually within a day. Once approved it goes live right away. If we can’t approve it, your payment is refunded in full.

What does a “seat” mean?

Each placement has 3 seats. Ads in the same placement take turns evenly, so each one shows in about a third of the views. When all seats are taken you can join the waitlist; we’ll hold the next free seat for you for 48 hours.

How do you count views and clicks?

A view counts only when at least half of your card is on screen for a full second. Clicks go through our link so we can count them, with bots, email link scanners and double clicks filtered out. Email opens are estimates, because some email apps load images automatically.

When do Christmas placements run?

From Sep 1 to Dec 20, with peak prices from Nov 1, when most groups shuffle and shop. Gift guide placements run all year.

Can I change my ad?

Yes. Edit it anytime from your account. Edits to a live ad are reviewed first, and your current ad keeps running meanwhile.
