8 NATIONAL SPONSORS

A typical sponsor ad appears in a monthly publication. Who knows if anyone sees it, and they certainly don't get monthly ad results that are accurate and real.

If you cater to a business base, you now have the opportunity to sign up sponsors who desire to reach hundreds of thousands of consumers each month. Each sponsor will be attached to every member's 10 - 12 page build-out in your directory. This means that the sponsor's logo and interactive link can be seen, clicked, or exposed via search engines tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times each month, depending on the size of your membership base. The sponsors will also get an advertising report each month, which proves the value of your organization to them. Think about credit unions and banks, as well as equipment suppliers, insurance companies, major manufacturers and suppliers, and even the US Government, who want and need interactive exposure. If a business wants to be a sponsor to an event, for example, they may be seen on the handout or menu once, and for this, they pay hundreds or thousands of dollars. Those days are gone. Now with your new Marketplace, they will be exposed every time any business in your organization is found online month after month.
