Offering Advertisement for Newsetter

[Bara]

Below is a proposal on possible banner sizes and pricing for advertisements on the news letter. There is an attached Poll with only three options, but we would like your input either way. Any ideas, comments, or concerns are welcomed since we will begin offering advertisement for the March 1st issue.

Thank you,
Orbis Newsletter Staff


Banner Sizes & Advertisement Proposal
As the Orbis Games community grows, the newspaper staff is striving to maintain that same momentum for the months to come. One of the ways to maintain interest is by offering advertisements at affordable prices. This idea has come up a few times, but newsletter staff never reach an agreement on execution. Within this proposal you will find workable size dimensions, fixed pricing, servicing fees, as well as future possibilities. Prices and services would be specifically aimed at Orbis Games members, with aims of making them newsletter/game related and affordable.


Why Charge For Banners
We want to make this newsletter exciting for everyone in the community by hosting fun events every few months. The problem there is, how do we reward members from 5 different games? The only universal way to reward members is through game credits. So the money earned through advertisements will go towards all of our contests.


Preset Banner Sizes
The news letter is typically divided into three columns for easy reading. Some articles take up 2 columns, some take all three, but usually we try to evenly balance between 1 and 2 columns articles.


BANNER 1: 250w x 100h pixels
The banner is designed to fit perfectly in any of the three columns.


BANNER 2: 250w x 200h pixels
The banner is designed to fit perfectly in any of the three columns.


BANNER 3: 580w x 100h pixels
This banner spreads across two columns and is a fixed size.


BANNER 4: 580w x 200h pixels
This banner spreads across two columns and is a fixed size.


Proposed Pricing
Below are two price plans. Plan A is based on dollar increments, while Plan B is based on half dollar increments. Both plans already include fees that PayPal take out. We will only be doing this through PayPal.
