Audition to get your product on Boagworld
Posted in Boagworld Bites on: Monday, February 22, 2010 by Paul Boag
With the introduction of Boagworld Bitesizes there are now more opportunities to feature great applications of interest to designers, developers and website owners. If you have a product you would like us to feature we want to hear from you.
As you will know if you listen to the podcast we have had sponsors at the beginning of the show for sometime. However, with the introduction of Boagworld Bitesizes we are going to change the format so those sponsors are associated with a particular section of the show. That means we will have sponsors for…
- News
- Interview / Feature
- Listeners content
Two of these three slots we are going to sell as normal advertising opportunities (for details on our rates drop us an email). However, for the third slot we wanted to do something a little bit different.
Instead of simply offering the third slot to the highest bidder we want to hold an audition. If you have a great product that you think the boagworld audience will love, drop us an email including the following information…
- The name of your product.
- A 50 word description of your product.
- A url where we can learn more information.
- How much you can afford to pay for the advertising slot.
Although we do want people to pay for the slot, the amount you can afford is not the deciding factor. We want to make sure that we select the best product available for our audience and so price is secondary.
If you are selected you will appear on four shows and will receive the following for your money…
- A 15 second audio introduction that will be at the top of your section both in the main podcast and in the bitesize version. You can listen to an example of audio sponsorship here.
- A text advertisment in the bitesize show notes. See an example below.
After the four week’s is up, the winner either has the option to continue advertising at the full rate or to stop. If they stop we will look at the other entrants and select one of them to take over the slot. So keep sending those entrances in. Even if you don’t make it to through the first round there will be future opportunities!
I hope you like the idea.
