CoTradeCo
Advertiser resources home

CoTradeCo is positioning itself to be a premier online supplier of useful goods for work and home. Our goal is not to be an online store or yet another social networking site, but a true embodiment of the trading post spirit. Using the power of community and information sharing and relating that information with the products and vendors these communities use and trust, we are able to put your business, service, and products in front of the right people, people who will care about what you are offering.

Based on previous experience and relationships, CoTradeCo has launched with a clear focus on professional products for industrial, packaging, corporate, government, and military use. It is our desire to expand the interest and focus of the site to include and meet the needs of a variety of specific industries and lifestyles.

You name the price

In short if you want to advertise your business, service, or product to the CoTradeCo community, just pick the spot and name the price. That’s right you pick the price. You are paying for one spot to be viewed all month long.

If the spot is currently not taken, the price is whatever you say and you get it all to yourself for one month.

If the spot IS taken you are naming a price to share that spot, to get the spot next, or knock the other person out of that spot if they’ve bought that space for multiple months.

If your business could benefit from being a part of CoTradeCo, contact Dan, and he will discuss with you the variety of options available. CoTradeCo is a modern, agile, online representation of an old fashioned trading post, and the opportunities are limitless. Let’s build an honest and successful relationship today!

Ad spots

Below are a list of places we are ready to stick your ad. Our goal is always to blend the ads in the the look and feel of the site. If you have a graphic designer we will happily supply source art to assist in this, and if you don’t heck we’ll put it together for you.

Masthead ad board

This spot is prime. You get the board under Ask Trader Dan and Ask Bobbie. This is viewed on just about every page of CoTradeCo. You want exposure you got it. This spot is good for one month.

Masthead giant center billboard

This spot is beyond prime. Not only is it on every page, but it is huge, basically making you part of CoTradeCo. But because we use this spot to promote our own stuff you’ll have to offer something big to get this. This is the only spot where you are actually competing with Trader Dan himself, and he is a hard nose trader.

Inline in the Warehouse

This will give you a much more focused and obtrusive presence. We will include your promotion as a Category in the Aisles section in the Warehouse, a vendor in the Vendor Showroom section, and any Special Use that applies to you. You get the listing in the categories of the warehouse but also a product page to say whatever you need. Each inline ad gets one product ad listing. There is a limit here though, we will only list one inline ad per major top level category.

Sponsor a Warehouse category or a Community

Not only do you name the price, but you tell us how you would like us to modify the page to look. The price you name better be inline with the level of change you would like to make to focus your brand, product, or service. We will only accept bids on this where the suggested design/layout is still fully functional, still looks like it belongs at the trading post, and in no way impedes our ability to trade our own wares. Same thing for the Communities. Your sponsorship of a community must not impede access to the content of that community. But otherwise skies the limit, just remember that this is Trader Dan’s domain and unlike other ads around the site, he’s gonna wait a fair trade.

You name the spot

See somewhere you’d like to stick yer name in front of the CoTradeCo visitors? Doesn’t matter where or if we’ve ever put an ad there before. Try us. This one requires some creative thinking on your part, cause like the sponsorship ads, we want it to blend in and feel like part of the community.

Sponsor Ask Trader Dan or Ask Bobbie

More prime real estate. Nobody sees it until they get clicked on. But like sponsoring a Warehouse category or Community we will change how the whole thing looks to suit your suggestions, if the price is right.
