BANNER ADVERTISING

DIRECT TARGET MARKET CONSUMER SALES:

The most important thing with banner advertising is not how many people click on your banner ad.... instead it is achieving the best percentage of successful rate-of-return. What's better? 200 visitors where only 2 become clients, or 100 visitors where 10 become clients?

Again, it's not the number of visitors to your Web Site that is important, but the number of QUALIFIED visitors that should be the measure of success in your banner advertising. With WeddingCanada.com you are placing your banner on the most visible wedding web site network in Canada with 280,000 unique visitors per year with over 740,000 page views and over 6 million hits per year (and growing). Our web site is marketed to engaged couples in Canada and their guests - a highly targeted marketplace with consumers that are on the website to shop for YOUR products and services. Our rates reflect our large number of visitors but also the large number of QUALIFIED visitors - that is engaged couples and their guests.

BRANDING:

As consumers keep viewing your banner, your company name will start to "stick" in their mind. What do you think of when I say soft drink? Coke? Pepsi? The whole idea behind branding is creating an awareness about your company to consumers. Even if a site visitor does not click on your banner ad you are still gaining the branding. Sales and promotions come and go... but branding stays intact and keeps your company in your marketplace consumer's mind when they seek out your type of products and services. Banner Ads can link to your own web site, a one page ad on our web site or a combination of the two.

Banner ad prices change depending on the page it is placed, where on the page it is placed and the size of the banner ad placed, and the billing term of the ad placed. Longer ad terms give bigger discounts. Our prices are flat rate prices... that is no Cost Per Click, or Cost Per View.

Some companies prefer to have a single splash page on our web site with a counter/stats that links to their web site, or have the banner link to a page on our or your site that records stats and then automatically refreshes to any web page you like. Basically we are flexible and can meet your needs in this regard.

Also another important note is that our banner ads are static - not dynamic or rotating. You pay for the AD SPOT for the TERM you choose. EVERYONE that visits that page will see YOUR AD. That means you are getting maximum exposure to your target market/region and you are getting superior BRANDING for your company name!
