Website Sponsorships on Discover Sandwich
Beginning in 2017, SBG changed the model for advertising sponsorships on the Discover Sandwich website. We put the emphasis on 'sponsorship' vs 'advertising.' Although we hope that you will gain a personal benefit to your business through this marketing opportunity, we need members and others who are willing to sponsor the website so that it can continue to benefit SBG and the community. Sponsorships are available to any business or organization, whether or not you are a member. An annual sponsorship begins when your ad first appears and continues for one year from that date.
A lot of money is being spent this year on advertising Sandwich in national and regional publications, all of which will lead interested readers to the Discover Sandwich website. So this is a great year to have your business appear as an advertising sponsor on Discover Sandwich's home page, by far the most viewed page of the website. A display ad on the website is not only good for you, it helps to support the website as the main hub of information about the town and what it has to offer.
There are two tiers of sponsorship:
Advertising Sponsorship
$100 a year or $60 for six months
Your linked business-card sized ad will appear on the home page. The home page receives approx 10 times as many views as any of the other pages. Your ad will link to wherever you want it to go. It could be your website, your email, or the Discover Sandwich page your listing is on. Your listing will mention that you are an advertising sponsor. Sponsorship ads begin at the beginning of a month.
Sustaining Sponsorship
$500 a year
Your linked ad (approx 7 x 3 inches) will appear one-up in the footer on ALL pages of the Discover Sandwich website. Your business or organization will be featured during the year of your sponsorship in a Discover Sandwich blog post and facebook post.
In 2018, this website has been receiving approximately 800 – 1000 individual views a week, with 2000 to 3000 page views.

Ad Copy
All ads must be web-ready and fit into horizontal business card proportions (more or less). For advertising sponsors 500 ~ 1000 px wide is best. Sustaining sponsor ads can have more horizontal length (1000 ~ 2000 px wide). Please send a jpg, pdf or png file of your ad to Lamb & Lion Studio. If you have questions or need help creating your ad, please email Janina.
Most people do not have the design or technical skills to create an ad image. During 2019 I will do this upon request for $25 paid in advance. This is a token amount of money for the service offered. I am willing to offer this service in 2019 to help make the website work for everyone. Please let me know if you would like my help.
Some ideas for your ad…
• offer some sort of special or discount attached to a code in your ad. This could help you to see how much traction your ad is getting.
• use your ad to ask a question that will be answered on your linked website.
• use it to promote an event.
• if you want to change your ad during the year no problem as long as you are sending me ready-to-go images.
