Advertising Opportunities

There are a number of exciting options for companies to advertise on the site enabling them to get their chosen message across to a vast, global audience.
The available options are:
* Overall web site Sponsorship
* Skyscraper Adverts
* E-Newsletter Sponsorship
* Player Sponsorship
* Match Sponsorship

Overall Web Site Sponsorship

The most prestigious opportunity is our web site sponsor, this gives sponsors great exposure as their logo is emblazoned on the main header graphic on each page. By clicking anywhere on the heading the surfer will be directed straight to the sponsor's own web site.

Skyscraper Adverts

The Skyscraper adverts give companies a generous space to present their message. The advert runs down the right hand side of every page other than the homepage. An animated graphic can be used which also offers an active link to the sponsor's own webpage.

E-Newsletter Sponsorship

The E-Newsletter is delivered to around 18,000 Blades supporters' inboxes every week, which is filled with all the previous week's top stories and features. This is an ideal opportunity for sponsors to get their message across to a large number of people who will see their logo in the top right hand corner of the newsletter. As with all adverts on the site a click on the logo and it will go straight through to the advertiser's own web site.

Player Sponsorship

This is part of the Player Shirt Sponsorship package Companies who have sponsored a player have an added bonus this year of having a text link to their web site. This is situated on the player profile section on the web site, where it states who sponsors which player.

Match Sponsorship

This is part of the Main Match Sponsorship package, a text link will be added to the match report on the web site which states which company has sponsored that particular game.
