SPONSORSHIPS
PROGRAMS TO MATCH YOUR PLAN
Our sponsorships are branding opportunities. We offer three programs:
sponsorship banners, enhanced sponsorships, and sponsored links.
PROMOTE YOUR BRAND WITH A SPONSORSHIP
Keep your business name in front of our growing, influential audience every business day. Align your business, products, and services with the multi-billion, global action sports industry. Basic sponsorships include banners in a variety of sizes and placements, shown to the right. They run in the left and right margins of the home page and story pages, adjacent to the content. They are a mix of images and words that sell your brand and direct readers to your website for action.
ADD A DAILY EMAIL ALERT
Add your message to our email alert, and direct our opt-in subscribers
to your website every business day. We sent an alert to more than 1,200
industry leaders every business day and we add about 100
subscribers a month.
TELL YOUR STORY
Sponsors can now write an article every month for our Business Development channel. These 250-word pieces are a perfect opportunity to reinforce your expertise, tell your story and share your business knowledge with industry leaders.
TRY A SPONSORED LINK
Our low-cost option to put your message in front of our audience. These
3-line messages run at the bottom of the home page and each story page,
and let readers click to your site for more information. They include a
headline, then two lines of text, each at 35 characters.
TERMS
Twenty-six week (six-month) minimum commitment, with 13-weeks paid in
advance of publication. Checks and electronic payments accepted.
We do not publish flash or animation at this time. Contact Andrew Horan for rates and a media kit.
OUR SPONSORS
We offer sponsorships to companies serving the action sports industry,
but we do not accept sponsorships from brands or retailers in the
sector, to avoid potential or perceived conflicts between sponsorships
and stories on the site.
