Leaderboards offer advertisers a great deal of advertising space in what some say is the most prominent position.

160 x 600 Run of Site Ad

Think big! The skyscraper ad position on GreenIndustryPros.com is a tall, narrow banner advertisement placed to the right of content on our web pages. The standard dimensions for a skyscraper ad are 160 x 600 pixels. Like the leaderboard, the skyscraper offers an advertiser a large space for a message. Unlike the leaderboard, which is placed above the masthead (title area of a Web page) and the page's content, a skyscraper is always visible above the fold and remains at least partly visible as the viewer scrolls down the page.

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
