Banner Advertising FAQs

Common Questions

Can I have more than one banner on the website?
Yes. This is called a campaign. For example, you may have a banner on the top throughout the site and a banner on the side on one of the specialty pages. Each banner will be charged accordinly, like a magazine ad, per month.

Will my ad be the only one in the spot I choose?
No. There will be a miximum of 6 ads for the spots throughout the site, and a maximum of 6 ads per spot on the specialty pages.

I need a banner made, who can I use?
The Chamber has several members under Graphic Design that can help make your banner or you can use your own web design company.

When does my banner start showing?
Generally, at the first of the month, providing we have received your artwork, application and payment.

When does my banner stop showing?
On the last day of the contracted month.

Can I view any statistics?
Yes. Full statistics will be made available to you through a password protected web page. You can see how many times your banner was seen, how many times it was clicked, on what days, what time of the day and more. You can have reports sent to you via email as well through the same page. We can not mail or fax statistics to you.

Can I have three different banners, 1 each for three months?
No, not at this time. We are not charging any set up fees and to defray the administration and set costs for each panner, we require a three month minimum per ad.

Can I change the banner seen myself?
NO. Banners can only be changed by the Chamber

Can I only show my ad on the Lodging pages?
Yes, Home, Lodging, Dining, Real Estate, and Moving pages offer exclusive placements.

Will my ad for throughout the site show up on these specialty pages?
Maybe. If there are no ads for a particular spot on specialty pages, an ad for throughout the site may show.

I have an existing Banner Ad, but it is slightly different in size. Can I use it?
No. The ads must be exact in size, or the ad server will not serve them.

Can I use Flash (SWF) banner ads?
No. Not at this time. We may do so in the near future.

Can I buy advertising like Google AdWords™ by how many clicks received versus a block of time?
No. Not at this time.  The system in place to serve ads can handle this in the future if we need it.

Can I link to a particular page on my site?
Yes, just give us the correct web address.

Can I have ALT text with my ads?
Yes.

What if something changes, and I need to change the banner I have currently running?
In emergencies, the Chamber may waive any charges for changing your banner graphic.
