HealthWorld Advertising/Sponsorship Programs

HealthWorld Online (www.healthy.net), the original natural health network, is a mission-driven company dedicated to educating consumers in the principles of healthy living, mind/body health and natural alternatives to mainstream medicine. (Media Kit)

We are a prime vehicle for advertising healthy living products and services. Our advertising/sponsorship programs and our demographics and traffic are outlined below.

Six Promotional Channels
We have developed six channels for promoting healthy living products and services to our targeted consumer population in HealthWorld: our sponsorship banner program, vertical ads, product image placement, text links, and our 2 e-newsletters, Healthy Update and Healthy Shopping. We offer advertising in each of the individual channels and will custom design premium sponsorship programs utilizing two of more channels.


1) SPONSOR BANNER PROGRAM
Website banner sponsorship includes a minimum of 100,000 sponsored page views of targeted or run-of-site content. Sponsors receive 2 coordinated banners on each sponsored page to create more powerful branding -- a "call-to-action banner" (468 x 60 pixels) and an adjacent company logo banner (120 x 90 pixels).

Sponsor will receive access to password-protected online tracking system to monitor page views and click-through rates for each banner. This enables real-time assessment of the effectiveness of specific marketing messages as well as the ability to test multiple messages.
