MK Commerce has a limited number of banner advertising positions, seen by a clearly defined audience – the business community of Milton Keynes.

Banner advertising can bring prospective customers directly to your business, products or services in just one click.

A prominent banner ad is an extremely cost-effective method of driving customers and sales to your business.

“But what if nobody clicks on my banner?”… Well, even if they don’t, all the time your banner is running you’re building brand awareness through repeated exposure. As a promotional and branding tool, banner ads are hard to beat.

Prices are also much cheaper than you think too!

The most visible advertising position on the entire website, the 468 x 60 pixels banner (Position 1) at the top of the page, is available on an exclusive basis at the site launch price of £45 per calendar month and, as a special launch offer, for any potential advertiser who doesn’t have artwork, we will produce it free of charge too!

Four additional advertising positions and their relevant sizes can be seen in the pic above. Each advertising position is shown on every page of the website.

Position 1 (468 x 60 pixels) is available on a solus (exclusive) basis.

Positions 2 & 3 (300 x 250 pixels) are not exclusive. Up to an absolute maximum of 10 ads will share each position and are set at random, with ads changing when the page is refreshed and/or another page on the site is selected by the user.

Positions 4 & 5 (125 x 125 pixels) are available on a solus (exclusive) basis.

• You are welcome to purchase advertising in just one position – or as many as you wish.

• You can also change the artwork at any time, subject to a minimum of two working days notice. However, changes can normally be made the same day.

• Image types accepted are; .jpeg, .gif, .png and flash. Static or animated banners are accepted, though we would politely request that animated banners are kept to the smallest file size possible and that consideration is given to site users who may have photo-sensitive epilepsy.
