Forum sponsorship direction

[Moleculo]

<FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial" SIZE=2>I'm willing to take everyone's feedback into consideration on future sponsorship for the forum. Sponsorship is not totally necessary (we never had sponsors before 1Stop), but I'm still willing to entertain the idea. If we do ever have another sponsor, they will be expected to follow the same guidelines as everyone else which is to respect each other as individuals and respect each other's Radio related interests.

Actually the sponsor thing does create a conflict if it is the ONLY sponsor



maybe we need rotating ads sorta like on QRZ.



The ad will change on top as you click on another section of the forum?



LOOK HERE FROM QRZ

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Standard banner ad campaigns start at only $69 per month



Designed with the small business in mind, our entry level ad campaign will put your banner ad in a rotation slot that appears in our premium top-of-page location. A single rotation slot will deliver approximately 180,000* exposures per month along with real-time, live click tracking. You can even change your banner in the middle of your campaign at no extra charge.

* The actual number of exposures your ad receives depends on the overall site traffic.



If you need greater exposure, additional rotation slots can be purchased providing up to several thousand impressions per day.



Volume Discount: Get 3 months of top space banner advertising for just $175.00!.

Look on the QRZ forum for an example

Hamer,



No CB Shop would be willing to pay for that kinda stuff most likely.

I dont see why not, the get their name on the page with a clickable link to their site.



Why just CB shops?



Would Wilson Antenna do it? Would Firestik do it? noone knows until a call is made?



We have these sections on here about amps and antennas but do we get support from them? How much if we do?

Are we taking favorites to have all of these sections but sell ad space to others?

If you want your name on here PAY FOR IT

and then instead having a seperate section for each amp or antenna just have 1 section for amplifiers and 1 for antenna and the owner pays for rotating ads?

Hamer,



Good luck.

Actually, I've sent a few emails to places including Wilson's marketing address. No response. But I still think there are opportunities
