Home page: On the Home page, there are three advertising spots near the bottom of the page. This is the page that will recieve the most traffic, and the ads are located under our Blog, so it is also one of the most updated pages.

Inside pages: On most of the pages, with the exception of the Member Spotlight and the Gallery, there is one ad placement in the right column. This allows for immediate visibility, plus with only one ad per page, you will recieve much more attention.

Resources page: Every advertiser receives an additional spot on the Resouces page, next to their listing. In this way, all advertisers have double the visibility!

Host a members' meeting at your facility:

By hosting an event, many members and guest will be introduced, or reintroduced to your facility and your service/product. We will offer guided tours of the property and facilities so everyone attending the event becomes familiar with all the features and benefits of your property. In addition, your business and facility will also be highlighted in the Member Spotlight page, an entire page dedicated to your business. There are no advertisments on your page, it's just about you!
