Specials
We have recently introduced packages of exclusive sponsorships with SEO and branding benefits on AdOperationsOnline.com, allowing you to exclusively book one or more ad slots on medium (1 – 3 months) or long-term basis (6 –12 months). Online Sponsorships = the linking of a brand with related content or context for the purpose of creating brand awareness and strengthening brand appeal in a form that is clearly distinguishable from a standardized ad units that are non-exclusive.
How Effective Are Online Sponsorships?
When you sit down to decide whether you should opt for casually advertising on a web site or enter a long-term partnership via sponsorship, have in mind that a recent Performance Research study indicated that sponsorships are: - perceived as Trustworthy (28% sponsorships vs. 15% ads); - perceived as Credible (28% sponsorships vs. 16% ads); - In tune with visitors interests (32% to 17%); -More likely to result in a purchaseof a sponsor's product or service (41% to 23%).
What Do I Get? We know how important it is for advertisers of all sizes to put the right message in front of the right audience – and keep it there! We treat our sponsors as long-term partners and offer them much more than merely taking over an ad slot for a period of time.
- exclusive use of a specific ad slot, including rotation and optimization of as many ad creatives you would like to use; - creation of a category for your company (or product) in our site, where we will publish your press releases and any other materials you wish to showcase and promote; - active links to your site from all articles about your company or product –these are indexable links and will not carry the dreaded “nofollow” attribute; - consistent cross-promotion across all our social media channels: +12,200 Twitter followers (@adoperations), +1,700 LinkedIn group members, +430 fans of our page on Facebook. If you already have a category created on our site, we will go through each and every post to make sure we enable and update all your links to indexable ones.
