Channel Sponsorship

Exclusive Channel Sponsorship allows the most comprehensive advertising opportunity on SignWeb. Sponsorship includes sponsor name, logo, text links and banner advertising on every page in the channel, plus site-wide exposure.

Each exclusive sponsorship includes sponsor name, logo, text links and banner advertising on every page in the channel. Additionally, all banner ad space within the channel is exclusive to the sponsor — that means no other companies' banner ads rotate through an exclusive sponsor's channel. Sponsors may choose to run one or up to five banner ads in their channel, providing maximum advertising exposure.

Included with each Exclusive Channel Sponsorship:

• Sponsor channel pad, logo and link on every channel page
• Up to 10 channel pad links to sponsor's site or sponsored content
• Up to 5 banner ads that rotate through sponsor's exclusive channel that can be used to advertise sponsor products or services, or to support distributors, make special or limited offers, promote show attendance and more
• One banner additionally placed as a SignWeb run-of-site banner
• Company and product "search" listing accessible from every page in site
• Listing in monthly e-mail Newsletter
• Secure advertiser extranet with real-time results for link and banner advertising

Send a full-color HTML email to 26,000 SignWeb members who have directly requested product, tradeshow and other information related to sign making.

SignWeb Announcements feature only one advertiser, so your full-color message will get noticed.

HTML e-mail provides you with the power and flexibility to brand your products, make multiple offers and drive traffic to your Web site. Combine the graphic appeal of print advertising with the power of the Internet.
