Options and Rates
All advertising rates are in US dollars. Rates are subject to change without notice.
Gold Sponsorship ($1,300 per month)
For those advertisers that want to make the strongest possible impression with their market, WakeWorld offers a unique opportunity to place their name and logo, along with a link to their website, on every page on the WakeWorld website.
A WakeWorld Gold Sponsor will have their ad image placed in a special promotional column on the right side of each page on WakeWorld (top of discussion board pages). The Gold Sponsorship is different from our rotating banner and button ads in that it is permanently affixed to the WakeWorld website, appearing on all pages.
Gold Sponsorships are available for a minimum of four months. Commitments of at least 12 months include a guarantee of at least 25 million ad impressions and a discount of 10%. Gold Sponsorships include 10,000 banner and 10,000 button ad impressions as well. The monthly fee for Gold Sponsorship is $1,300.
Gold Sponsorship Product Links ($600 per month)
An additional feature offered to retail shops that purchase a Gold Sponsorship is the option to have a link to their website featured on products in our board and binding guides. This option is an additional $600 and is only available to Gold Sponsors.
When compared to other advertising options, including WakeWorld's banner and button rates, you can see that our Gold Sponsorship is an incredibly economical way to build brand recognition and sell products and/or services.
Silver Sponsorship ($750 per month)
This is similar to the Gold Sponsorship with the same ad size, but ad position is shared with another Silver Sponsorship advertiser. Therefore, your name and logo will show up on half of all WakeWorld pages providing branding and click-through benefits at an affordable price!
Silver Sponsorships are available for a minimum of four months. Commitments of 12 months include a guarantee of at least 12 million ad impressions and a discount of 10%. Silver Sponsorships include 7,500 banner and 7,500 button ad impressions as well.
Product links are not available with the Silver Sponsorship. The monthly fee for Silver Sponsorship is $750.
Bronze Sponsorship ($400 per month)
This is similar to the Gold and Silver Sponsorships with the same ad size, but ad position is shared with three other Bronze Sponsorship advertisers. Therefore, your name and logo will show up on 1/4 of all WakeWorld pages providing branding and click-through benefits at an affordable price!
Bronze Sponsorships are available for a minimum of four months. Commitments of 12 months include a guarantee of at least 8 million ad impressions and a discount of 10%. Bronze Sponsorships include 5,000 banner and 5,000 button ad impressions as well.

Mailing List Sponsorship ($200)
WakeWorld Mail goes out to thousands of subscribers every month. This isn't spam that we blast out to any email address we can get our hands on. WakeWorld Mail only goes out to those who specifically request it. That's what makes this such a valuable advertising medium. Every email gets read. That means every ad gets read. Each WakeWorld Mail goes out with up to three text ads. Each ad contains eight lines of text with 65 characters in each line. Supply is limited, so get your message out in WakeWorld Mail today. Each newsletter goes out to over 5,000 subscribers and each ad costs only $200.
Contest Sponsorship
Periodically WakeWorld will put on contests to give WakeWorld visitors a chance to participate online and take home some great prizes. Naturally, there is no better way to entice visitors to get involved than by offering them free wakeboarding equipment and gear. WakeWorld offers its advertisers the opportunity to familiarize WakeWorld visitors with their name and products by providing equipment for these contests. In exchange, WakeWorld promotes the sponsor's name and product in connection with the contest, in press releases and includes their names and products on the relevant WakeWorld contest pages.
One such contest that runs year round is the Online Wakeboard Tournament. This is an online forum where riders can sign up for a tournament, fill out a trick sheet and enter their scores after attempting their run out on the water. Since the tournament counts on the honor system for entering scores, the prizes are given out randomly to participants. Complete rules are available here and the current list of sponsors and their equipment can be found here.
