admin @ 12:28 pm Monday 07 August 2006

UptheSaddlers is supported financially by a combination of private donations from individual supporters, and through sponsorship from companies.

The site regularly attracts 2,500 daily visitors. Detailed audience figures are available on request.

There are currently 3 ways of supporting UptheSaddlers:

1) Whole site sponsorship
Our current sponsor is SR Print Management in a deal which expires at the end of this season, May 2008. This includes logo/branding on the homepage of the site, upthesaddlers.com, every page of the message board, and branded email alerts from the message board.

2) UptheSaddlers corporate supporter
This includes a logo/link on the “Friends of UptheSaddlers” page listing your company as a supporter of UptheSaddlers, and includes upto 100 words of descriptive text. This is available at a cost of £50 per year.
Contact advertising@upthesaddlers.com for more details.

3) UptheSaddlers private supporter
This includes your name being posted on the Friends of UptheSaddlers page, subject to a minimum donation of £1.

Any revenues derived by UptheSaddlers are channelled back into the site to pay for running costs.

From January 2008 UptheSaddlers also accepted revenue from the Google Adsense programme - this deal is suspendable if the main site sponsor is willing to cover the loss of revenue.
