Newsletter
Appears in Weekly E-Mail Newsletter
Newsletter ads are text-only messages delivered in the weekly BorderWalker e-mail newsletter. Ad items will be presented as a news item in the body of the newsletter, with a note marking them as a "Special Offer," "News from Our Sponsor," or similar. Newsletter ads are limited to no more than 100 words, plus news item header, if desired. Newsletter Ads are limited to one per newsletter, to prevent dilution of your message (not including additional ads which may come from large-scale Banner Ad purchasers, see above).
RATE: $25 per newsletter (equals $100 per month)
Comic Sponsorship
Special Placement
Certain individual comics may be available for branding with logos, banners, and news items. This is a great way to target a specific comic's demographic and can provide the most focused impact of these ad options. Comic Sponsorship has two components, which may be purchased individually or in conjunction (although one comic will only have one sponsor for any given ad period, preventing dilution of your message). Those parts include placement of the customer's logo within/adjacent to the Comic's logo (such as "Company Name presents Legacy Dawning"), and placement of a specially-sized ad banner or news box (which can be connected to an external data source) integrated into the comic's presentation framework. Comic titles available for individual sponsorship change from month to month, so please contact us for more information.
