Advertising on reenactor.Net and Sturmkatze Companies
Ad Pricing

Why would you want to advertise with reenactor.Net?

Well, an ad on reenactor.Net can bring you in touch with the clientele you are trying to reach. We "serve" around 300,000+ "page views" each month, mostly from serious living historians and reenactors.

You might have heard the term "hits" used as a indicator of a website's popularity, but this term is often overused on the Internet. A "hit" actually occurs every time an object on a web page is sent to your browser, so if there's a lot of art on a page, there will be a lot of hits for each page view -- we don't count this way as it is somewhat dishonest

All this translates into the fact that we get somewhere around 20,000 to 35,000 distinct visititors each month looking at these pages. Sometimes more, sometimes less -- it's the web. However you look at it, there's a lot of viewers here.

How will reenactor.Net influence my bottom line?

Good question. Here is a testimonial from Ed Walton, owner of Lost Battalions Military Reproductions:

"reenactor.Net is consistently Lost Battalions' top source of click-through web traffic. The shoppers who come to the Lost Battalions web site from reenactor.Net stay longer, view more pages, and spend more money than web surfers coming in from other sites. reenactor.Net is an essential advertising tool for Lost Battalions and should be the first web advertisement choice for all vendors of reenactment supplies."

We have a number of different types of ads, from simple Banner Ads to Button Ads... See below for specifics...

Button Ads

Button ads are an offering we have and they promise to put your ad-link right in front of the viewer's gaze! Not only that, they are an economical alternative to the banner ads and when used in conjunction with a banner ad campaign, they can prove VERY effective. As we are just starting this, we don't have them on all pages yet, but we will soon. Be the first one in your time area!

Prices for "above the fold" button placement (placement on the page is on a first come, first serve basis).

(1) button ad = $140.00 per year.
The longer ad button below, on the right, is a special "2x" ad button, we charge extra for them due to their added visibility... (contact us for pricing)

Button Ad Service

If you need us to make you a button ad, we can... at least we have made the ones to the right out of clip art and I am sure we can whip something up for your business. For the most part, we charge $79.95 for the service if you provide us the artwork. If we have to make it or find the artwork, it might be a bit more, please feel free to inquire about this. And yes, we can do some kinds of animated banners, as always check with us for pricing...
