Businesses

For a limited time funseekers is offering all sports, adventure and recreation-based business and club managers the chance to advertise your products and services online for FREE. No gimmicks. No obligations. Just a user-friendly site that offers vast exposure for your business or club.

Benefits for Business and Club Sponsors

If you choose to become a business or club sponsor and accept our invite for FREE advertising, the benefits to your business are both direct and quantifiable, and include:

• targeted access to a highly segmented group of members that have specifically requested activities and events relevant to your products and services,
• the opportunity to integrate your promotional messages within the content of the site,
• the opportunity to interact with potential customers in an environment where they are most likely to appreciate and respond to your promotional messages, and
• the ability to immediately track referrals and therefore keep precise records of your earnings.

What Funseekers Provides:

As a funseekers’ business or club sponsor you have immediate access to:

» A fully editable event template (including photo gallery slideshows)

As a business member you can create as many event profiles as you like, specify the details of the event and the minimum/ maximum number of participants, post and edit photos of past and present events, and keep track of interested members by checking automated lists within the template.

» Online forums

An online forum stimulates and manages online text discussions over a period of time among members of special interest groups. Therefore, joining a discussion group that is relevant to your business presents numerous opportunities for your business to collect objective research data about your market and to make potential customers aware of your products / services.

» Real time or periodical notification services

Business members can be notified of recent member activity in real time or periodically via email and/ or SMS

» A range of banners, interactive search buttons and deep links

Funseekers can provide targeted search buttons that drive members directly to events relevant to their interests, and links that go from your web page directly to funseekers’s interior pages. This enhances usability because, unlike generic links, they specifically relate to user’s goals.

» Referral tracking systems

Funseekers provides text links with your own personal code embedded. Each time a member clicks through to your site the information is registered on your account, allowing you to immediately track referrals and check your accumulated earnings.

What Funseekers Expects:

In return, funseekers has three simple expectations of business and club sponsors.

1. The event profiles you upload MUST promote an event. Of course, the event details are completely at your discretion. It can be an open day, a party, an introductory lesson, a seminar, a tour – whatever event suits your specific business or club- but is must be an event.
2. The business or club and its associated events must be legal and clearly identifiable from the advertising, and
3. The business or club and its associated events must be able to back up advertising or marketing claims.

 

Online Advertising Trends

• In Australia in 2007 we have seen a huge shift from traditional forms of advertising (TV, print and radio) to internet advertising such as web banner and button ads, integrated listings and viral advertising.
• Online advertising has forged a change from ‘interruptive marketing’, which includes radio and tv ads that interrupt your programs, to integrated or ‘engagement marketing’.
• Engagement marketing is designed to promote interactivity and dialogue between businesses and customers by correlating promotional messages with specific demographic’s behavioral patterns and preferences.
• Social networking sites have also given rise to viral marketing- a term that refers to the use of pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness ( like word of mouth but on a much grander scale)
• Deep links, immediate referral statistics (ie. pay-per-click) and affiliate programs are all driving the surge in online advertising by making it much more cost-effective and targeted than other forms of advertising.
