About eLanka
eLanka’s Mission
The mission of eLanka is to be the key information link between the Sri Lankan community based in Canada and any Business Organization or Individual based globally wishing to advertise / promote their products & services.
We will achieve this by assisting organizations, associations and individuals to advertise, promote and market their products, services and events to the Sri Lankan community based in Canada.
Services & Terms and Conditions for each Service
eLanka’s mission is to Promote all businesses wishing to advertise their product or service offering to the Sri Lankan community based in Canada, by displaying their business contact details on the eLanka.com.au
Promote your business product or service via an email to the eLanka member mailing list. A large database of most Sri Lankan individuals and business email addresses based in Canada.
Promote your special event (e.g. dinner dance, sporting event, special business promotion) via email to eLanka.com.au member mailing list.
Design and host cost effective web sites.
eLanka.com.au has three main service offerings for advertising:
E-mail Marketing Services & Terms and Conditions:
This is a subsidised service offering to the Sri Lankan community to assist them with their advertising needs to promote their product or service to the largest database of Sri Lankans living in Canada.
This service offering is also open to all members of the general public and organisations, including those companies in Sri Lanka wishing to promote their services or products to the Sri Lankan community in Canada.
One of the key services that eLanka.com.au provides is an email marketing campaign that we do by sending out specially designed email web pages to a large member list consisting of Sri Lankan people living in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane
Note that this method of advertising is not “Spamming”, but “Permission based marketing” where all the eLanka.com.au members provide their email address via this web site. We only hold the member email address details on our database servers.
With this structure, if you can forward a graphically designed advertisement (as a word or image file), then a web based flier is designed by us.
Once the web based flier is designed, the proof is first sent to you for approval, and upon confirmation we send it out to the large eLanka.com.au members in our database.
Responses to the email from members are either forwarded to your email address (if we receive any responses) or they contact the person’s email address that is on the flier.
If you don’t have a graphically designed flier, we can assist you with the design of the advertisement at a very cost effective price.
We also do a follow up email marketing campaign just before the event at 2/3 the price as well. This is so that the members will remember of the event or product that they were told about some weeks back.
We have found such email marketing campaigns to be very effective over the past years with some successful ad campaigns we have done for events & products both in Canada & Sri Lanka.
Email Marketing can be carried out as a separate once off price starting from $75 set up + $50 per campaign, or as part of our Banner advertising campaign (see Business Card display Prices below)
Business Card Display Services & Terms and Conditions:
If you visit the Business Directory of eLanka website, you will notice how a directory of business card display has been set up.
You can pick several categories to display your product or service offering in this business directory.
The cost of advertising your business card here will depend on the categories of advertising, banner advertisement requirements and any email marketing programme you would require.
Note that if we do the full design of your web site, or use the email marketing programme, then this card display will be free.
Please email neil@eLanka.com.au your contact number or email address so that we can call you to provide further info. Or, in turn, please call eLanka to discuss further details.
Your Business Card can be displayed on the eLanka Business Directory in several categories.
Web Design Services & Terms and Conditions:
eLanka.com.au service has a radically reduced pricing structure to assist the Sri Lankan communities & business ventures in setting up their web sites.
We can assist you with your domain name registration for the web site (ie www.yourbusinessname.com.au), and once the design is done, even with hosting your web site within our outsourced secure hosting environments.

Third-party Links to Other Sites
eLanka allows other companies, called third-party networks, to serve advertisements within the eLanka Sites. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the eLanka Sites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see. eLanka does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
However, please note that if an advertiser asks eLanka to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 25-30) or audience segment (for example, men ages 25-30 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the eLanka Sites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices.
eLanka’s privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
