KCMetropolis.org sponsorships
Sponsorships on KCMetropolis.org are a good way to promote your business to arts-lovers and an excellent way to help support the visibility of the performing arts in Kansas City.
Based upon a revolutionary combination of expert critical thought-and action-provoking commentary from the new social community, KCMetropolis.org fills an essential need in the community for definitive performing arts coverage. A true grassroots movement, KCMetropolis.org brings together the voices of many expert writers, musicians, musicologists and arts aficionados; and working in partnership with other arts-related tourism-based organizations, KCMetropolis.org presents the most extensive and exciting coverage ever offered of our rich performing arts community. KCMetropolis.org is a Missouri nonprofit corporation and a Federal 501(c)(3) organization.
SPONSORSHIP AD SALES:
KCMetropolis.org does not charge for sponsorships based on impressions or by click-throughs - nor will we report on those stats. We are always happy to share our page views and unique visitor stats with you: Traffic has increased about 30% per week since first publication in October 2008. We had 6,000 page views the first week of the new editorial site. The weekly e-blast has an exceptional 51% click though to website. Kansas City is reading KCMetropolis.org... and the numbers will continue to rise as more people hear about us - and about you.
It goes without saying that advertising does not drive editorial... so we won't mention that. Our cancellation policy is that once a contract has been signed, we have received your ad and it is running on KCMetropolis.org - well, you are one of our honored sponsors. Your name and a link to your website, will also be listed on our Sponsorship page.
SPECIFICATIONS:
KCMetropolis.org will always maintain a good balance of editorial and sponsorship ads, so all ads on site will run as display ads with a live link to your website. No flash, please. Please remember to make your ad compelling and include a "call to action." All ads should be 'website ready" and 72 DPI to load up quickly. Please see examples of ad sizes on the website.
