We invite companies, organizations and individuals to help build and share in the success of Native Art Network by joining us as sponsors. We have a unique advertising model which engages banner-weary visitors and introduces sponsors as resources to our visitors.

A Unique Advertising Model

Each sponsor gets their own Native Art Network promotional ad page, formatted with our look and feel, that visitors can navigate quickly, get the information they are interested in, and then click over to the sponsor's web page or contact them by mail or phone if they want more information. The promotional page is displayed when sponsor's ad is clicked, and viewing the promotional page does not count against the advertiser's purchased CPMs.

Our commitment to sponsors

We will feature your advertising in prominent and meaninful ways throughout the website, we will maintain the content quality of our site, and we will continue to expand our marketing efforts to bring more targeted traffic to the web site.

Prominant and Meaningful Ad Placement

Pages on the site contain one advertisement in a prime top-of-page location. Logo ads (like at the top of this page) appear on each Native Art Network content page. Text ads may appear on artist and artwork pages. The home page contains multiple logo ads along the side.

When ads are clicked on they take the visitor to sponsor's promotional ad page. Information there is in a consistant format intended to give the visitor a quick overview, and direct them to the sponsor's full web site or to contact the sponsor directly. Sponsors do not necessarly need to have their own web page (some don't).

The Content Quality of the Site

We maintain high standards for our artists and our sponsors. We represent artists who produce artwork of the highest quality. We require our sponsors to be ethical and reputable organizations that support our commitment to benefitting Native artists and communities and conducting business in an ethical way.

We continually work hard and intentionally to build and maintain our reputation. We are committed to doing business in a good way, aligning ourselves with good and ethical business partners and supporting the arts and Native families and communities. The entire Native Art Network of artists, sponsors, and other affiliates benefit from our high standards of ethics, quality and authenticity.

Our Marketing Efforts

Our marketing efforts include advertising in Native Peoples magazine, ads in programs of major juried Indian Art shows, direct interface with people at major art shows and other venues, and working steadily to build a solid and reputable presence on the web. We continue to expand our marketing efforts as we grow.

Our marketing efforts are paying off. Our traffic is steadily growing each month. We receive thousands of unique visitors monthly from over 60 countries. Our membership of top quality artists is steadily growing also.

We are intentional about continually moving our site up with the search engines. We currently appear on the first page of most major search engines (second page on Google) for the highly competitive keywords "native american art" and the first page for the keywords "native american fine art". We rank within the first entries of most major search engines for the keywords "native american art shows", "indian art markets", and similar combinations. Our high ranking ensures a steady stream of traffic and our rankings continue to climb.

Advertising Rates

We offer advertising at the flat rate of $1,000/yr.

Our advertising rates are calculated at $18 - $25 per CPM (one thousand exposures of your business name and ad tagline). This is on the competitive end of rates for web sites with targeted traffic, where, on the high end, rates can be $60 -$80/CPM. The cost is $18 / CPM when advertiser buys 20 or more CPMs, $25 when the advertiser purchases fewer than 20.

We have no setup fees for advertisers, and each advertiser gets their own Native Art Network promotional ad page included at no extra cost.

Summary

We are committed to serving you and providing real value for your sponsorship dollar. By sponsoring us, you are supporting both the arts and a community-minded, ethically-run Native-owned business. And because of the high standards for the sponsors we allow to advertise, your sponsorship is an implicit endorsement from Native Art Network. Your sponsorship helps us offset the costs related to building and marketing the web site, and pays our salaries.

Thank you.
