Advertising on Pyro Universe

000

If your company sells fireworks, chemicals, firing systems, mortars, or any other pyrotechnic-related merchandise, advertising on Pyro Universe is a great way to show off your products to buyers on the internet.  There are several different advertising options.

Pyro Universe receives approximately 1,200 unique hits each day.  During the U.S. June/July firework season, traffic spikes up to 2,000+ unique hits per day, which equals out to around 425,000 unique hits per year.  Together, all of the pages of Pyro Universe are viewed approximately 80,000,000 times per year!  Pyro Universe does not employ methods of artificially increasing hits through the use of deceiving banners, pop-ups, or website re-directs.  Why waste money to have your ads placed on search engines or other sites where the majority of the viewers don't care about fireworks?  Since Pyro Universe is completely dedicated to fireworks, your advertising will always be seen by your target audience.  Everyone who comes to Pyro Universe does so because they are genuinely interested in fireworks.   

Currently, the following advertising options are available:

 Banner

Your 468x60 graphic banner will be shown throughout the most popular pages of Pyro Universe, including the main page, the article pages, as well as near the top and bottom of every page on the forum and photo gallery.

To run a banner ad on Pyro Universe, you purchase a certain amount of "views", or times that your banner will be shown by our ad software.  For instance, purchasing 100,000 views for $33 will guarantee that your banner will loaded on a page 100,000 times.  This may last several months (when traffic is slow), or as little as a couple of weeks (during the early summer, when traffic peaks).  The more views you purchase, the more you save.  

At these rates, the cost of advertising to you is only a few hundredths of a cent each time your ad is seen by a fireworks enthusiast!
