How and Why To Advertise on BRISKODA.net

[ColinD]

BRISKODA is the largest SKODA community on the web with over 27,000 members and a huge archive of information. Visitors from around the world visit the site each day and over 1,500,000 pages are viewed each month. You can become a part of it today!

Why Become a Partner with BRISKODA?

BRISKODA is well respected as a premier enthusiasts' website and partnering with us could aid your business. Advertising on BRISKODA is the first step and can help to establish you as a leading company in the rapidly expanding market of Skoda and related services.

Many companies want to see large numbers of users clicking on their banners, but here at BRISKODA we believe just seeing your banner does just as much, especially when coupled with additional promotional activities that you and BRISKODA can take part in. You will have your own forum for announcements and promotions, and it is yours to run and use. Promotions and status as a partner is visible on our partners' page and at any events we host.

All the extra visibility adds up to a greater impact and return on your time and investment in this site than a traditional banner only method.

Why do we seek partners for advertising and support?

BRISKODA is a site for enthusiasts', your support funds the promotion and investment required to maintain a rapidly growing community. As Skoda's market share increases, so will general interest in the brand. As a result we need to invest and develop to maintain our leading position.

Your promotional offers or discounts attract members, in turn supporting the site.
You are not merely paying for advertising, but publicly showing your support for a valued and respected resource, our members react to that.

The consistent and progressive growth of BRISKODA has led to increased traffic costs and the partnership scheme is one way to cover these costs.

What are the options then?

Full Partner

This begins with a payment for a banner slot and concludes with a dedicated partner forum. We’d encourage you to have more than one banner, as with more banners, you can send different messages per impression. The banner can link to your partner forum, a specific page on your website or wherever you wish. Prices start at less than a pound a day!

Profile adjustments will highlight you as a partner and you may customise your forum signature for extra benefits while contributing in threads.

A good reason to partake at this level on the site is the provision of a dedicated forum within our partner’s area. A high visibility partner forum, including a prominent link to your website gives users a place to discuss products, services or events that you maybe undertaking.

Please email [webmaster [at] briskoda.net for more information.

With both schemes we encourage any product announcements to be made via our news channel in addition to forum postings - simply drop us an email and we'll publish the news. We can also run lead up promotions of a new product and competitions for your products.

The site is constantly evolving and presently undergoing a development of functionality to allow us to target promotions and information. We also represent a very large and growing market. With over 500 unique visitors each day we have a large site of Skoda owners and general enthusiasts visiting. Become a part of the site today and email webmaster@briskoda.net for more information.

How does it work then?

Advertising is the visual component on the website that displays the relationship between BRISKODA and your company. Presently we are operating with the industrial standard banner of 468x60 pixels. This is displayed on all the public facing pages of the site for all users and guests to view and click. We may well introduce other mediums of advertising which work better than the banner.

We operate a pool based advertising system which keeps everything balanced for all partners. This works in such a way that customers with one banner will have a priority of 1 - typically this will give you a slice of 19,000+ impressions each day. Those with two banners will have two slices of the pie - this will result in a greater slice of impressions over the day.
