We are the largest music agency web site in the world and
our visitors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Our
main target audience lies within the following sectors:
The
wedding industry
Corporate
entertainment sectors
Live
music venues and theatres
The
hotel industry
University
and college student unions
Musicians
both amateur and professional
The
music industry
Media
industries including television and radio
Music
enthusiasts and gig goers
Because
we understand that that many of our advertisiers would like
to target specific client groups at specific times of the
year, we have tailored all our sites advertising towards
the purchase of monthly advertisements (as you would with
a magazine) and offer unlimited click-throughs on each advert!
All advertising programs can be individually tailored to
guarantee you the most success and pinpoint your target
audience.
Targeting
your potential clients
Specific sections of our site can be targeted for advertising
depending on the client base your company wishes to reach.
The most popular pages within the site are the main artist
listing pages for each style catagory of music (IE: 'Rock
& Pop') These pages are not only the starting point
for visitors browsing our artists but they are also one
of the main entry points to our web site from the search
engines. We currently enjoy 'top of the list' ranking on
many major search engines for these style catagory pages.
Other
popular pages include our 'Free CD' order page, 'Wedding
Music' page, 'Corporate Entertainment' page, 'Gig Guide'
page, 'Competitions' page and any of the feedback form pages
(Book a band, General Enquiries etc)
Types
of advertising
120x90.gif) 120
x 90 pixel box - £30 each per month
The main type of banner advertising available on alivenetwork.com
is the matchbox sized (120 x 90 pixel) ad's, as found on
the artist style catagory listing pages (Rock & Pop,
Jazz & Blues etc.) These ad's are accompanied by a short
description of your company. Because we use these these
box size ad's ourselves to point to various items within
alivenetwork.com, your ad's will not feel intrusive to our
visitors. In fact, by positioning these types of advert
carefully, they can even feel part of alivenetworks main
site structure where your company or web site is seen as
the 'next step' in their decision making process or in their
current 'surfing' agenda.
This type of positioning works particularly well for companies
who offer services of products which our visitors might
decide to buy as either an after thought (Wine, Champagne,
Gifts) or as an accompanyment to our own services (Pa Hire,
Lighting hire, Car hire, Audio Equipment)
120
X 90 pixel ad's can be purchased from £30 each per
month with discounts for multiple purchases. Click-throughs
are unlimited!
120x180.gif) 120
x 180 pixel box - £50 each per month
Details are exactly the same as the 120 x 90 pixel boxes
only your ad will stand out even more! These ad's appear
in the same 'high impact' areas of our site and allow you
to get across more of your sales message.
120

Standard sized banner ad's are only available within certain
ares of our web site. These areas include all artist profile
pages, gig guide, competitions, last minute deals, special
offers, as well as on each form submission 'thank you' page.
About
Form submission 'Thank You' pages:
When a visitor requests a free cd, fills out a band booking
form, or makes a general request via our web site, they
are ponted to a 'thank you' page once their submission
has been sucesfully sent. These pages offer the ideal
opportunity to get your company message across as the
visitor has little other content to read on the page.
They are also about to leave our site, having got what
they came for. What better an idea than to visit another
web site closely related to ours?
About
artist profile pages:
By having your banner advert on one of our artist profile
pages you can target specific audience types and build
positive accosiation with well know artists. As an example,
by sponsoring 'The FAB Beatles' page you can expect visitors
to gain (if what subliminally) a positive impression of
your company via association with not only the excellent
'Fab Beatles' tribute band, but also the accosiation with
the whole 'Beatles' brand. Alive Network can provide advice
on choosing an artist page to sponsor which we know many
of your potential client will be visiting. (EG: We know
most wedding clients visit a specific set of artist pages
as they are recommended artists for weddings. If you target
wedding orientated visitors you will be best sposoring
one of these artists pages to gain maximum exposure for
your company)
Standard
banner adverts (468 x 60 pixels) are the ideal way to build
brand identity within our site. Standard banner ad's are
charged from £30 each per month with discounts for
multiple orders.
Reciprocal
Links
Reciprocal links are free and are all located on our main
links page.
Your link will be added to alivenetwork.com when our web
master confirms that our link has been added to your web
site.
If you wish to use one of our banner adverts we can arrange
reciprocal banner exchanges and these banners can be placed
in other sections of our web site. These banner exchanges
are available at alivenetwork's descretion.
**We
regret that we are unable to provide reciprocal links to
bands web sites or other entertainment agencies.
