Hey guys I have a plan for sponsorship. It should be competitive in comparison to other forums.

It'll be structured based on the number of members we have signed up. Start out at an introductory price then goes up according to the number of members we have. It will eventually hit the peak capped number and stay there.

Options include monthly, quarter, bi-annual, and annual pricing options.

I should have more posted later. We currently have 3 parties interested in sponsorship (possibly 4), 2 know who you are. One of the parties has been more than helpful in assisting me with providing pricing structures from other forums.

More on this later.

I have a friend who owns a garage who is willing to be a sponsor, Jangy and Assan have seen his shop.

Here is what I've come up with as far as sponsorship. I don't plan on doing the full annual sponsorships until we hit 2000 members but will offer it anyway. They must understand the risks involved with paying annually on a new forum. It's essentially their gamble that the member base will be there. Please let me know if I'm being too cheap on the pricing. Suggestions appreciated.

• Monthly Basic includes: 468x60 rotating banner and ability to market to members.
  
• Monthly Plus includes: Same as above with one forum of exclusive spnsorship and 2:1 increased chance of banner being displayed over basic on the main page. I will insert the banner into the random generator twice to increase chances of it being displayed. The banner will be displayed exclusively in the forum that is being sponsored. Forum listing will also include "Sponsored by: ____".
  
• Monthly premium includes: I'll need your guys' assistance with an idea on this one
