Advertisers : Please Read

Possum · 04-03-2007, 07:31 PM

As many of you know, we offered advertising for free (banners, buttons, ads, forum definition, etc...), and as stated, this was a temporary situation while we got up and off the ground. It is apparent now that this place is on the solid path of success, and with our growing membership, we need to migrate to a more dedicated server solution, that can effectively protect NBS Sportfishing. In addition, we are beginning the processes of building out a light store front, that will be used to sell hats, shirts, stickers, etc... for NB$, as well as provide a venue for our lure building members to sale their products on the site as well. This will take some time, but it will be worth it in the end.

As with any venture, capital is needed to keep the operation moving. Our goal is to bring in funds for the purposes of supporting and running the physical aspect of NB$, no more. Every penny we take in will be used to better this place, ensure its' stability and long term viability, and fund the initial purchasing of branded products (both those stated above, and some others that may be in the works).

All this being said, we are beginning, effective immediately, to charge for advertising on NB$ Sportfishing. Our ad costs, we believe, are more than reasonable, and well below the average (by quite a large margin in many cases) based on the research I have done so far. Below is the link to our options and rate information.

ADVERTISING OPTIONS & FEES

I will be sending messages to all those who currently advertise with us, with a special first year offer, in the hopes that we retain those whom have been with us from the beginning.

We have gained over 750 members during the winter, and between word of mouth and the links you folks are getting on your sites, we continue to grow at an impressive pace. We expect this will likely increase as the fishing season up here in the Northeast gets into gear.

As always, feedback and questions are welcome.

Brad and Jim,

Very fair option, we want to be able to support this site and continue to be a sponsor of the groundfishing forum.

Options 1 & 2 are virtualy unlimited.

Options 3 & 4 have limitations, to the available forums, and/or the number of slots in the banner rotatins.

The top banner is nearly full, I can say that, and the forums are marked on the board eith their new sponsor

This site grew quicker than I think we figured on back in June (and with the best quality members)......

I think the "fees" are very reasonable, and I'll vouch 100% for Brad when he says it will all be put back into the site in one way or another to make it better and better
