Attracting Sponsorship

[dkodigital]

Hi, I have a question about sponsorship and how to attract it. A little background - I run a geotargetted forum in the North East of England, it's quite well visited, about 60,000 page views per month, and there are 130 boards on the site altogether (some are nested sub-boards).

I've recently had the idea of allowing companies and individuals to sponsor the boards on the site, but what is the best way to try to attract that sponsorship?

Having a large and active membership is always a draw. And finding sponsorships related to your forum topics is a big plus, to your advertisers and your posters.

I have just over 600 members, but a lot of unregistered traffic too. Obviously some boards are more attractive to advertisers than others, but I think potentially it's a good way of making things viable for me.

Provide content that is relevant and unique to your prospective sponsor and drive more traffic to your site that are also the targetted traffic of your sponsors. This would make it easier for you to attract sponsors to your site
