    BevNET 2014 Display Advertising

    BevNET.com offers banner, video, and text advertising.

    Banners: The graphic to the right illustrates the banner positions

    available on BevNET. The 970x90, 300x600, and 300x250

    positions are run-of-site (meaning they appear on all pages of the site).

    Our banners are sold on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions)

    basis. Simply put, you order how many times you want your banner

    ad to appear during a given time frame.

    Keeping in mind that BevNET receives over 275,000 page views

    per month, you can order as many as 275,000 impressions or as

    few as 10,000.

    Banner Pricing Example:

    For example, if you wanted to buy 30,000 impressions in the

    970x90 banner you would simply take the number of thousand

    impressions you are buying (30) and multiply it by the $65 rate.The price would be $1,650. Those 30,000 impressions can then

    be delivered over the time period of your choosing (10 days, 1

    month, 1 season, etc).

    Site Take-over advertising (where you are the only advertiser in the

    970x90 and 300x250 spots for an entire day) is available at a rate

    of $2,950 per day.

    Banner placement can be extended to Brewbound.com at no

    additional cost.

    limit is 100K; Flash is 175K. Please submit creative a minimum of

    five business days from program start date. Send all materials to

    which play at the beginning of BevNETs exclusive videos. Video

    advertising is $1,500 per month and space is limited to five

    advertisements to be in rotation at any given time. Examples of

    BevNET video can be seen here: www.bevnet.com/video
