Distributed electronically, the newsletter bridges the gap between the set summaries found on the website and the detailed set coverage found in the magazine. Each issue of the newsletter provides an updated calendar of hobby events. New hobby "finds" are also reported and the latest additions to the website are identified. A key benefit of placing an ad in the eNewsletter is the continuous exposure that it gets on the website long after it is initially distributed (see Index of Past Issues). Top Ad (Vertical): $425 Middle Ad (Horizontal): $225 Note: Only two positions available in each eNewsletter. Please reserve early.

Website Ads If you have your own website on the internet, remember that your ad on oldcardboard.com is only one mouse-click away from bringing our readers to your own home page. Your 640 x 100 pixel banner runs at the top of well over 1000 pages on the oldcardboard.com website. Its prominent placement will establish company brand recognition, web presence and reputability. It will help generate traffic to your website and in turn increase sales for auctions and online stores. Following are two website advertising options: 1. The Corporate Image ad. A Corporate Image banner is used to promote company visibility to the vintage card collector. A URL link directly to your website is included, setup fees are included with any advertisement. We would be happy to work with you to develop your Corporate Image ad or you may supply your own. Full Year: $480 Half Year: $300 2. The Auction Promotion ad. The ability to register and drive bidders to your auction has tremendous impact on prices realized for that auction. An Auction Promotion banner placed on oldcardboard.com for the six weeks preceding an auction will grab the attention of collectors within the pages of oldcardboard.com and alert them of your upcoming auction. 6-Week Auction Promotion: $125 As always, a listing on our calendar page for your auction is free and included. eBlast Ads Our advertisers are more and more taking advantage of our eBlast ads, which are dedicated to exclusively your auction or product. Each eBlast ad is emailed to our full list of over 5500 Old Cardboard eNewsletter readers and serves as an independent eNews "supplement" focused on a message that you prepare and from which our readers can link directly to your website. eBlast ad to 5500 Readers: $300
