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.
I would assume that any
sponsorship would be dog and/or agility related but maybe there are
other products or services that would be just as suitable.
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 since it was established in November 2009
and in May 2010 there were many visitors to the site, 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.
