Banner Advertising

 

Advertisement Locations

Banner ads are found at the top corners (Corner Advertisement) of the site, as well as along both sides (Side Advertisement).

Banner ads are sold by "seasons". There are three seasons in the high school athletic year - Fall, Spring, and Winter. Each season is four months long, with March covering the transition between the Winter and Spring seasons. Here is a breakdown:

 

Fall - August, September, October, November

 

Winter - December, January, February, March

 

Spring - March, April, May, June

   

Exclusive vs. Shared Advertising Space


The two Corner Advertisement spaces are exclusive and each will be occupied by a single business.

Side Advertisement spaces may be shared by as many as four different companies, with advertisements constantly rotating through each business.

Advantages of Banner Advertising on NECScores.com

 

The major advantage that comes with a banner advertisement on NECScores.com is that the advertisements are visible at all times. The top of the site, as well as both sides, are static pages that do not change and can be seen no matter content a visitor might be viewing at that moment.

 

Only the central section of the website changes, depending upon which links the viewer chooses. What this means is that banner ads are always on the screen when someone visits NECScores.com.

 

In the screenshot below, the area inside the green circle is where the site’s content is displayed. The outlying areas are where the banner ads are located.
