UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration Sponsor ideas

Our club (read: "site") has recently picked up a couple of sponsors to help with the financial burden. That naturally led to a "what do I get for my money" discussion, which lead me here...

What have you done, or even seen, as far as sponsor "visibility" on your website?

I've seen banners, and sponsor forums, but was wondering exactly what all can be done. Any and all help is appreciated!

just an idea, and this is something I'm working on getting done...

Contest software by eventhandler has a plugin that integrates with ubbthreads. What I'm doing is adding that to my site and any sponsor can give something away and in return, all the signups are leads for them.

If your sponsors don't have a need for leads, it won't work I guess, but mine do.

I have 7 forums that all are using my forum db and I'm adding the contest software to their sites and it will integrate with threads and use my db, so any other site that can sell a contest gets half of the money.

We are charging 3.50 cents per lead up to 1000 dollars for a month long contest. They can give away whatever they want to. They more value in what they give away, the more singups they will get. Plus, the contest will show up on all 7 sites, so they'll get leads from all...

Just an idea for anyone who could use that.
