More than 31,000 professionals have requested that we e-mail to them promotional e-mails (NO SPAM!) from advertisers like you. Our reporting will tell you how many e-mails were sent, opened, clicked and forwarded. Mailing lists updated daily! All of the content within the eBlast is dedicated to your message. This is a great way to announce a new product or service, conduct a contest, feature specially priced items, or sell inventory quickly to a large, dedicated audience.

$0.35 per name, segmentation available

What is included in a eBlast Package?

• A pre-designed, HTML e-mail message covering your company, product(s), service(s), or any other information you want your customers to see
• We can also design your blast from a print advertisement, a PDF, or from scratch
• A subject line that meets our approval must be also provided
• Subject lines should be as enticing as possible, more than one word, and not in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
• Rich media is not accepted
• Animated GIFs are discouraged as Microsoft Outlook 2007 will not accept them
• Pre-designed blasts should be mindful of differences in e-mail client compatibility
• A blast that is entirely a linked image it NOT recommended, as today's e-mail platforms block images. An HTML e-mail should be a combination of text and images with a call-to-action within the text component
• If sending a pre-designed blast, a text version must be included
• Full image paths in the code must be used (ex: http://www.domain.com/images/graphic.jpg)

 

eProduct Showcase

Stretch your budget with an eProduct Showcase! An eProduct Showcase provides an electronic advertising vehicle for our professional advertisers to reach a 100% opt-in e-blast list in a cost-effective manner. The eProduct Showcase is an opportunity for advertisers to pay for a portion of an e-blast and maintain the high-impact effectiveness that an e-blast delivers. A total of 6 advertisers, each with an individual product to promote, combine to complete the eProduct Showcase. If more than 6 advertisers want to purchase an eProduct Showcase, additional eProduct Showcases are sent to accommodate demand. Each advertiser submits one static graphic of their product, one company logo with url link, and 80-100 words of copy. The interactive department designs each advertiser's space and returns a proof to the client for an okay.

Trade Show Exclusive
The Trade Show Exclusive is a short (1-4 minute) video that features a specific product, service or message your company is promoting at an industry trade show.

Product Video
These short (up to 1 minute) videos showcase your product while informing your customers of its features and benefits.

MEP
The Multimedia Engagement Product (MEP) is a single interface that allows for the presentation of a variety of multi-media through the use of "hot spots" and buttons. By clicking on these different "hot spots" or buttons the visitor can be presented with an almost unlimited selection of media that could include: video, audio, text, tables, images, downloads, links to URLs and more.

How To/Training Video
The How-To/Training Video showcases the steps of a specific task or technical application. The primary purpose of these videos would be to further the skill-set and/or education of the viewer.

Video Newscast
The Video Newscast is a long-form (10 minutes or greater) video production that aims to be an informational resource for the viewer. This is accomplished by presenting the viewer with highlights and features of a trade show or other industry event through a variety of video reports all tied into a cohesive product through one or more hosts who lead the viewer throughout the overall product.

Company/Product Video
The Company or Product Profile videos would entail an in-depth look at a company, individual or product with video capture on location.

Custom Video Package
The Cygnus Video team can make the process of creating a video specifically tailored to your needs EASY. We provide all the equipment and knowledge to meet your marketing needs and you can be as involved or hands-off as you desire.

Marketing Tool
The term "Webcasting" is the ability to use the Web to deliver live or delayed versions of audio or video broadcasts. A Webcast is similar in intent to a live power point presentation but designed for the Internet. Webcasts deliver the audio and visual content right to the users' desktop.

How Webcast Works
A Webcast is an advertiser-sponsored event that is broadcast over the Internet from a Cygnus site to viewers who are a targeted market segment for the sponsor. A Webcast can be taped at an exhibition and delivered in real time to an audience across the country or it can be taped on location on a specific topic and viewed at a later time which is convenient for each viewer. It can have registration to the event or can be viewed upon demand without viewer information supplied. In summary, a Webcast is flexible to the needs of the client and viewer.

What Is Included

• Logos and taglines presented on promotional materials from date at the onset of the promotional campaign
• Sponsor's name and tagline in pre-Webcast reminder e-mails to registrants and follow-up thank you e-mail after their participation
• Logo and tagline, linked to sponsor's home page on the landing page of the individual presentation
• Logo and link on the sign-up page of the individual presentation
• Logo included in the frame of the presentation
• Sponsor will receive at least two power point slides (one before, one in middle or at end) of the presentation thanking them for sponsoring with marketing message
• Sponsor will get verbal audio thank you at least twice during presentation
• Entire Webcast, including sponsor logos and links, will be archived for one year
