Gotta make a deal. Gotta make a deal. Always Be Closing.. Always be..

Actually, we're probably a bit more annoying than your average magazine in that we're fussy.

We don't want to promote goods and services that don't really serve a value to anyone. And we don't like ugly adverts.

But as the no.1 free site on the Internet for the film and related industries, we can be picky. In fact our members, who take our recommendations seriously, would expect nothing less.

And we've come up with a few nice little ways to promote you and your company or product that - provided it fits on netribution - should more than make up for our 'if your name's not on the list, you can't join the party' attitude.

Agreements

Level 1 - Simple business agreement

To be promoted in our shop (under the products menu) we seek two things: to be able to offer the product at the UK's (preferably global) lowest price; and to be able to take a healthy cut per sale.

Of course it also needs to be a product our members would find useful.

Level 2 - Text banners on each page

Running down the right column of each page will be small and modest Google-style banners, ie

One Life Stand
Great Film - buy now at UK's lowest price

For which we would charge per click (varies on budget, value, number of views, time of the month, etc.)

Level 3 - Photo banner

We're testing a new advertising idea here. On the one hand it is, I think, the biggest advertising space ever offered - a full 777 pixels width, across the top of Every page of the site.

Bought via a monthly auction, to appear as effectively site sponsor for an entire month (shorter periods considered). The advert is text free (or contains minimal text) and instead should have a great photograph or image. This could be a film still, or an image inspired by your product. If you want we can hel organise photshop / digital photo contests for members to create n image for your product that will appear for the whole month.

The thinking behind this strategy is so that members don't come to resent advertising on our site as intrusive, but instead recognise the value an advertiser has in supporting the site's sustainability and to physically see their contribution as beneficial - it increases the aesthetic appeal of the site. Plus as the only sponsor to to get graphical advertising for the month, the brand impact, even tho it isn't explicit, should be very strong (we would obviously announce to members, 'this month's photo banner comes from.. who.. why.. what.. how much.."

Level 4 - Other partnership

Perhaps you want to structure something a bit bigger, a bit better, a bit more long term? We have a lot of projects on the boil - if you're serious then drop us a line and we'll see if there is something closer to workon. We're always looing for party and event sponsors!

Ideal partners

Ideal advertising and promotional partners would primarily be people who produce great products and services of interest to our community. Things we wouldn't have any hesitation in recomending to friends and family members. Things that seemed to have been created foremost out of a motivation to make the best - be it software, hardware, book, DVD or industry service.

We also only work with companies and individuals that meet or are trying to meet our foudning principles.
