In order to help cover the costs of
providing this agility website such as the domain name fee,
hosting fees, phone calls, etc., I am wondering if
there is any interest by individuals, businesses, organisations, etc,
in sponsoring the website to develop a win-win situation for both the
sponsors to gain business and myself to help with the costs.
This
is an opportunity, not only for dog and/or agility related
businesses & products, but for any business, product or service.
My thoughts are that space on the
home page and other popular pages such as events, results,
catalogues and current schedules, could be made available at nominal
rates (related to the size of the display block) and either linking
to an external website (like the 4Legs block on the right) or a dedicated page on this agility site
(like Welcome Kennels) which would provide more information. Or just
a stand-alone display block with name and contact details could be suitable for some
(eg. Jim's Dog Wash).
To avoid over-exposure the display blocks would be alternated over
different pages and different layouts at regular intervals.
The traffic
to the site has increased dramatically since it was established in November 2009.
There are many visitors to the site, not only from Victoria, but
from all states, ensuring
a suitable viewing population.
If
anyone is interested they can e-mail me at
t.coles@bigpond.net.au
with any questions or for more information,
and there is no obligation to take it any further.
