Ad Rates And Why Advertising On Crazy Days And Nights Is The Right Choice
Written by an entertainment attorney in Hollywood, it combines news and opinion to make it one of the daily must read sites on the internet.
The site began operation in November 2006 and generates well over a million page views and approximately 750,000 unique visitors each month.
In addition to traffic from the United States, Crazy Days And Nights attracts readers from every corner of the globe. According to Alexa.com, Crazy Days And Nights is a top 20,000 site in over 40 different countries which maximizes your advertising dollar.
The global reach of the site means that no matter your country of origin or what language you advertise in, your ads will get noticed by the people you are trying to reach.
If you are a company that normally places advertisements in magazines or newspapers think about what you are doing. Your ad may or may not be seen by your audience as they flip through the pages. Even if it is seen, 99% of the time it is for a brief second as they turn the page. With the internet, and especially a site such as Crazy Days And Nights, eyes are fixed to the screen and your ad. According to Alexa.com, the average reader spends over four minutes on Crazy Days And Nights during each visit. When is the last time someone stared at a magazine ad for four minutes? As the reader turns the page on the internet, your ad stays right with them.
Have a campaign you want to change or roll out a new campaign in a day? This is electronic media. Therefore, when you need to change your focus or change an ad, you can do so and have it up and running within 24 hours. Try doing that with a monthly magazine. Besides charging you a ridiculous sum of money for an ad that may or may not be seen by their reader, they also make you purchase your space and submit your ad several months in advance. If you want to change anything, you are probably out of luck.
Let's look at W Magazine. It is an extremely well know fashion and general interest magazine for women. As of June 2008 their circulation was 458,867. Their readers are 81% women. The median income of their readers is approximately $160,000. So, how much does an ad cost in their magazine?
For one month, a 1/4 page ad costs $40,720.00. That's right. For the privilege of giving W, $40,000, you may or may not have a reader stop at your ad for the briefest of seconds. Do you want a full page ad? That will cost you approximately $78,000.00. An astronomical cost for a company that only offers you a maximum of 450,000 readers each month.
With Crazy Days And Nights you get over double the readers of W with roughly the same demographics and they are staring at your ad 24 hours a day 7 days a week from every corner of the globe. The cost? About 1% of what W would charge. Plus we don't limit you to 1/4 page ads. We have ads that range from the smallest of boxes to a wallpaper that covers the entire screen with your logo or message. Which advertising scenario makes more sense for your company or product? Whether you have $10 or $10,000, there is something for you on Crazy Days And Nights.
