BANNER ADVERTISING

Your web banner advertising buy will include:

•  Visitors to phoenixnewtimes.com
•  Visitors from the Phoenix DMA (Designated Market Area) to the Village Voice Media family of web sites.

Research has shown:

•  The most effective promotion for a web site is to be visible where the target audience is located.
•  A web site greeting its visitors based on their location or displaying relevant offers, depending on their location, is sure to generate more clicks and garner a higher conversion rate.

Benefits of Geo-Targeting:

• Online businesses can present targeted ad content to the user based on his/her physical location.
• Allows businesses to target relevant local consumers and realize maximum return on investment.
• Plays a vital role in creating a level playing field for both small and large businesses. Small businesses with a local flavor (and smaller budgets) can achieve greater results with geo-targeted ad buys.
• No additional charges to geo-target on our sites - our only goal is to maximize return for advertisers.

 

Banner Capabilities:

static ads, animation, Flash, expandable banners, video banners, rich media, section targeting, day parting, date omissions, 3rd party tags
