PLANETNAUTIQUE was launched in 2002 as a place where owners of Nautique boats could gather to discuss their boats, learn about proper maintenance, share ideas, and meet people who share their interest in water skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, 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 tens of 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 2024 Super Air Nautique G23 PARAGON (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 industry events every year, and is used all over the east coast of the United States.
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.
- 200 x 110 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 very popular sponsorship level due to the location of the ad and the fact that it is always visible. Of course it also includes the logo on the boat, the logo on the tow vehicle, and PLANETNAUTIQUE representatives speaking highly of your products at industry events. The cost for this level of sponsorship is $549 per month.
- 167 x 200 pixel ad inside the FIRST post of every thread in the forums section. This is a new offering that I believe will provide great results based on two things. First, this is the largest ad size offered by PLANETNAUTIQUE. Second, it will be visible in every thread in the forums section, so there will be no missing this ad! Of course it also includes the logo on the boat, the logo on the tow vehicle, and PLANETNAUTIQUE representatives speaking highly of your products at industry events. The cost for this level of sponsorship is $549 per month.
- 167 x 200 pixel ad inside the LAST post of every thread in the forums section. This is a new offering that I believe will provide great results based on two things. First, this is the largest ad size offered by PLANETNAUTIQUE. Second, it will be visible in every thread in the forums section, so there will be no missing this ad! Of course it also includes the logo on the boat, the logo on the tow vehicle, and PLANETNAUTIQUE representatives speaking highly of your products at industry events. The cost for this level of sponsorship is $549 per month.
We are always open to discuss other alternatives for site sponsorship as well. In the past, some site sponsors have provided PLANETNAUTIQUE with a sampling of their product as partial payment, and that has worked well. It allows us to showcase your products, and normally lowers the cost for the sponsor. If you are interested in alternative sponsorship opportunities, please check with us and we will see what we can do!
If you are interested in discussing any of the site sponsorship opportunities outlined in this document, please feel free to contact PLANETNAUTIQUE at any time.
