Traffic Related Posts Sponsorship Sealed Bid Process
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the current sponsor of the Traffic Related Posts has had to discontinue their sponsorship.
Traffic Related Posts are one of the four Posts Types that are currently sponsorable. To read more about the other types, please see our post here.
Traffic Related Posts are the highest trafficked of the 4 post types with nearly 1 million views collectively for Q4 of 2022.
I’ve had a large amount of interest in this post type and want to make filling the sponsorship spot as fair as possible. To do that I’ve decided to do a sealed bid for the sponsorship.
What You’re Bidding On
The winning bid will become the sponsor of the Traffic Related Posts on the Facebook Page. As an added bonus, the winning bidder will also have a banner ad set placed in rotation on the website.
Traffic Related Posts generated nearly a million views in the last 3 months of 2022, the website another half million. As one of the most trafficked sites in the county, this is a great opportunity to get your business out to the citizens of the county.
As the sponsor of the Facebook Posts the sponsor will have a banner, like the example below, attached to each traffic related post on the NCST Facebook page.
The Website Banner(s) will be placed in key locations throughout the site and display in a rotation with 5 other possible advertisers on the website. There are 3 separate banner sizes that are used to ensure that the ads display correctly for users on both desktops and mobile phones. The locations include on the homepage ( where there is currently a Google AdSense Ad ), and after the second paragraph of each article on the website.
We will be more than happy to create all the required banners for you at no cost, or can provide templates of you to complete and return.
