Tile and banner advertising
These display ads are featured prominently on Sandpoint Online’s many editorial pages and link to your website. Advertisers benefit two ways: With each page view your ad is on, your company’s name and message is impressed on the reader, just as with traditional print advertising. But unlike ads in print, the reader can click on the ad and jump directly to your website to do business now!

Ads are charged on a flat monthly fee; you buy placement within any (or all) different editorial sections, and your ad goes on all pages within that section: Events, Directories, Community, News, Recreation, Visitor Guide, Lodging, Real Estate, Classified Ads or Sandpoint Forums. The Sandpoint Online home page is available separately.

There’s a flat monthly fee for ad placement in any section, ranging from $75 to $125 a month depending on the average traffic the section receives. If you need to have us create your ad for you, it's a flat $30 fee. For more ad info, click to query us or place an order»
