OnlineMotorsport is steadily growing every month, (doubling in size since the revamp in October 2007) and with the new photo and video changes (July 2008) we expect the site to continue to grow. The economic climate is not the best, so Motorsport oriented companys should look at using OnlineMotorsport as another mechanism to generate sales.
OnlineMotorsport is not funded by an external organisation, entity or association, just a group of motorsport fanatics who are wanting to increase the profile and awareness of the sport.
This website is not cheap to host and maintain as it has a sophisticated Content Management architecture and database, as well as extra servers to host photo images and streaming videos. It will only stay FREE for users to use, if the advertising can pay the costs.
The advertising rates are cheap, and the target market is already captured, and growing. If everyone helps out, it will ensure that the website will stay alive for the benefit of the Motorsport community.
Recent advertising poles suggest that Website advertising is on the increase, while traditional TV and Newspaper advertising is slowly declining. This is due to the nature of people lives. We spend less time watching TV, or mute or fast forward through ads, and we tend to not purchase a newspaper because we can quickly jump onto the internet to catchup with the latest news, as it happens.
Basic OnlineMotorsport advertising rate is cheap at $75 (plus GST) a month.
Signup for 6 months for $375 (plus GST), which includes one month FREE!
Signup for 12 months for $750 (plus GST), that’s two months FREE!!
How the OnlineMotorsport Advertising works
For the basic advertising, there are three areas that a company's logo will be visble, at the top and left hand side of every page, and the bottom of the Forum, Photo Gallery and Video Gallery pages.
* The top and bottom banner size is 468 x 60 pixels
* The side banner size is 131 x 131 pixels
* You can purchase advertising in one month blocks, with special rates for 6 months and 12 months.
* We are very flexible about the amount of months you may want to sign up for. The rates are a lot cheaper than in a magazine and we have the advantage of our content changing every day, which is attracting people back to the site daily.
* As far as creating the graphics, we can help you do the artwork if necessary. We can re-size / re-create them to fit if that is needed.
* The ad graphics or webpage can be changed once during the advertising term. Any other changes will cost $25 per change.
* The Ad’s will be uploaded once the advertising fee has been paid.
* The Ad’s rotate through every 10 seconds or so.
* Shortly we plan to introduce a monthly newsletter that is sent to all of our subscribed users. Each newsletter will have details of every OnlineMotorsport advertiser.
* Advertising in the Forum and News sections is allowed for the period that the advertising has been paid for,
Trade Directory information
For companies who don’t have their own website, or if they do, we can build them a specially built single webpage outlining the key products and services provided by their company.
This will be trade information advertising, and will have your your logo's, photos, contact details and any other relevant information including larger ad’s on your company and what it does.
This page will sit within OnlineMotorsport and will be displayed when a user clicks on your ad.
Please contact us for more information.
