UsMoms Community Projects is offering a great advertising opportunity to businesses during our
2007 JOKE-A-THON
We expect the JOKE-A-THON to be sent around the world to hundreds of households. UsMoms has a large email base of dedicated supporters whom we trust to initiate our JOKE-A- THON to their contacts. Our email list consists of a diverse group of people, of all ages, with a broad social and business reach. Based their history of faithfully supporting all of UsMoms' fund raising efforts in the past, we believe that these wonderful people will make the necessary effort to get our JOKE-A-THON out to their contacts and then the expanding numbers will naturally take over from there.
We are inviting savvy business people to advertise on our website as part of our fund raising for supporting the costs of the JOKE-A-THON. We believe that if you utilize proper planning for the contents of your ad, that the ad will prove to very a lucrative resource for your business. We also know that there is a unique benefit of using a medium for your advertising budget such as UsMoms is. The people who have an existing commitment to UsMoms usually have a strong social conscience that includes supporting businesses that demonstrate a social conscience. It has been our repeated experience that the people who support UsMoms will intentionally read the ads to see which companies also support UsMoms. These people are known to show their appreciation by intentionally directing their consumer dollars to businesses who demonstrate this social conscience by supporting a cause like UsMoms. People who hold a social conscience know that helping UsMoms' families helps their community to thrive as well.
Obviously, every advertiser will want to have their ad on the JOKE-A-THON pages, as it will be the pages viewed most often by the most amount of people in a day. As the number of jokes that are submitted fill a page up, then we will open a new page to add jokes onto. As we open a new page, then a new ad space becomes available. As this is the page that is publishing the most recent jokes that have been submitted, then this page will have the highest number of viewers, both new and followers of the JOKE-A-THON. These pages can be pre-purchased.
Additionally, we can assure you the advertiser that the viewing traffic to the rest of the site will be worthy of your advertising investment. The concept of UsMoms and the self-reliance programs are well received by the public and other interested parties. We know that the biggest feed back that we get is that people are very pleased with our concepts and very supportive of the concept of helping single parents to gain permanent self-reliance. The word that we hear all the time is "innovative". People love roaming through all of the pages of our site because they love the idea of what we are trying to accomplish. Statistics state that 52% of all marriages end in divorce, and statistics show that over 60% of school aged children live in a single parent household. Not including the grandparents and other relatives of the children that have been affected by divorced parents, that means 50% of the population has experienced the challenges directly associated with being a single parent.
For an advertising bonus, you can see that viewers on our website will have allot of personal reasons to view every single page. The viewer will be particularly attentive and relating to how the information affects them personally. That is an advertisers' ideal type of reader. UsMoms will work with your business to recommend what web page will be viewed by people that would be interested in your specific products or service. Your ad can be inserted onto a particular page of your choosing. However, speed is of the essence, as the pages will be sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Please read the details below regarding our policies.
We are looking forward to working with your company to produce advertising that will increase your customer base. Please submit your interest in placing an ad to Katie Sabourin by email at us_moms@yahoo.com

ADVERTISING COSTS:
- During the 2007 JUNE JOKE-A-THON each ad space that is on the direct link page will be available for $500.00. Every other page on our site will be available for $200.00. The total fee is the same regardless of what day in the current month that the ad is inserted, as mathematically the numbers of daily viewers will naturally increase dramatically everyday as the JOKE-A-THON progresses.
CONDITIONS:
Payment – The advertising fee must be paid in full by PayPal before UsMoms will publish the ad. If your business has a free PayPal account, you can also use Electronic Checks (debited directly from your bank account), debit card or your PayPal account.
Selection of Web Page for Ad – This will be done on a “first come first served” basis. The first advertiser that pays in full for a specific page will keep that page for the full duration of the JOKE-A-THON. We recommend that you reserve the page immediately by prepaying for the space, and then work on your ad content. We also recommend that advertisers choose the page that is compatible with your products and services ie: Fun Pages are best for children’s products. Public relations experts would benefit from advertising on this page.
Contents for Ads – Advertisers are solely responsible for submitting all content and formatting. UsMoms will not be responsible for proof reading the material. Logos must be in .gif, .jpg, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF or .bmp formats. Advertisers are advised to provide links to their website as part of their ad space. Links to advertisers' websites will be maintained by UsMoms until midnight on that day of the month that the advertiser has paid for in full in advance. Partial months cost the same as a full amount as a full month, regardless of the date /day of the month that the ad is purchased. There are no exceptions to this rule.
NOTE: Contents must be sensitive to the audience. ie: no adult material because our website is accessed by youth and children.
A Thought For Advertisers To Consider:
A Good Ad tells a story that appeals to the reader.
