Tailor-made Packages
Above are three levels of example advertising packages. These are just guidelines for the different components that can be included in each package with a rough discount price. If you would like a short and punchy campaign, then we can create something that fits the bill; if you just want a quick annoucement and have only a small budget, then we can offer some effective options for you; if you want to raise awarness of your own online activities then we can help you get traffic and suggest the best way to go about it.
Just contact us for a personalised quote.

We also offer large adverts in the shape of Short Tower and Full Tower options which are counted as 1.5 and 2 impressions respectively compared to the rate of 1 impression for the other banners.
