advertising ~ design team sponsor  

he Shaker Box Design Team Sponsor is one of the more popular forms of advertising that leading scrapbook manufacturers take advantage of because it gets the products into the hands of the Design Team and ultimately in front of The Shaker Box community. The DT will create and upload to the Shaker Gallery wonderfully inspiring pages which feature your product line. What better way to advertise a new or existing product then to have Design Team members showcase them for you! Listed below are the advantages you will receive in becoming a Shaker Box Design Team Sponsor.

• Free ad and description listing on homepage under the left-hand column called Sponsor Spotlight. The most recent Design Team sponsor will be featured here and then after will rotate periodically. As the site continues to grow, this section will have a rotating ad that will be changed when the page is refreshed.

• Free listing indefinitely on our Shaker Box Design Team Sponsor page in the reviews section of our web site. There you will be listed with a logo and a brief description of your company and the products offered. We also include an additional free link from your logo and another in text form taking members to your corporate web site.

• Free forum (message board) listing under Shaker Designers Reviews with links back to your corporate web site as well as links to various layouts in the gallery using your unique product. This review section features The Shaker Box Design Team reviews of your particular product line. This feedback is invaluable for those on the site as we are usually the first ones to utilize new lines and new scrapping techniques that hit the market.

• Free gallery exposure: Each layout created by The Shaker Design Team, using a sponsor's product, will be uploaded in the gallery with a full link to your product web site. Included with each layout is a keyword feature list which names your product line specifically. This allows the search engine to more easily pull those layouts related to a particular keyword and increases your exposure tremendously!
