BevNET 2014 Display Advertising
BevNET.com offers banner, video, and text advertising.
Banners: The graphic to the right illustrates the banner positions
available on BevNET. The 970x90, 300x600, and 300x250
positions are run-of-site (meaning they appear on all pages of the site).
Our banners are sold on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions)
basis. Simply put, you order how many times you want your banner
ad to appear during a given time frame.
Keeping in mind that BevNET receives over 275,000 page views
per month, you can order as many as 275,000 impressions or as
few as 10,000.
Banner Pricing Example:
For example, if you wanted to buy 30,000 impressions in the
970x90 banner you would simply take the number of thousand
impressions you are buying (30) and multiply it by the $65 rate.The price would be $1,650. Those 30,000 impressions can then
be delivered over the time period of your choosing (10 days, 1
month, 1 season, etc).
Site Take-over advertising (where you are the only advertiser in the
970x90 and 300x250 spots for an entire day) is available at a rate
of $2,950 per day.
Banner placement can be extended to Brewbound.com at no
additional cost.
Banner Specifications:
