PLANETNAUTIQUE was launched in 2002 as a place where owners of Correct Craft boats could gather to discuss their boats, learn about proper maintenance, share ideas, and meet people who share their interest in hydrofoiling, water skiing, wakeboarding, or boating in general. As PLANETNAUTIQUE has evolved, we continue to cater to this same group of people who enjoy living the Nautique life. PLANETNAUTIQUE currently has thousands of active members. We are actively seeking site sponsors who can help support the site financially or in other ways in exchange for valuable advertising on the site and through other means. PLANETNAUTIQUE site sponsors reap benefits in several ways. First, by banner ads on PLANETNAUTIQUE.COM. These banner ads are visible to anyone visiting the site, not just the members. Historically, these ads have brought in tens of thousands of dollars in revenue to many of our sponsors. A good number of sponsors have been with PLANETNAUTIQUE for many years, and a couple have been with us since the very beginning in 2002! That speaks to the value that this type of site sponsorship can bring to your business! Besides banner ads, all PLANETNAUTIQUE site sponsors also have their logo displayed on the official boat of PLANETNAUTIQUE, which this year is a 2014 Super Air Nautique G23 (which, by the way, is provided to us by one of our key site sponsors, White Lake Marine). Having your logo on this boat is a great way to supplement a banner ad on the website. The boat travels to a number of events every year, and is used all over the east coast of the United States. Of course, the boat has to be pulled by a tow vehicle to reach these events. Site sponsor logos are prominently displayed on the tow vehicle as well, which provides additional exposure for the sponsors’ businesses. In fact, since the PLANETNAUTIQUE tow vehicle is used as my daily transportation, this type of exposure is significant! Not only does this vehicle travel to a number of high-profile watersports events every year, but since I live in the Washington, DC area, and use the tow vehicle as my daily transportation, many thousands of people see the tow vehicle (and PLANETNAUTIQUE’s sponsor logos) every week. Many of our sponsors provide samples of their products for use on the official boat of PLANETNAUTIQUE. This allows us to demonstrate your products first-hand at our events, and that often generates immediate sales for those sponsors. We always make it a priority to speak highly of our sponsors at all industry events, and to point out our sponsors’ products to potential customers who may be able to benefit from them. PLANETNAUTIQUE offers several levels of sponsorship. 730 x 32 pixel banner ad at the top of our website (below the NavBar). This ad is visible on every page of the site, no matter what section of the site the visitor is viewing. This is a great option due to the location of the ad and the fact that it is always visible.
