Step 1. Determine your advertising method
- Targeted E-mails
The first, most inexpensive option, is
to advertise to teams from specific countries, states and levels of play.
Most
field owners that
are
promoting
events choose this method. The team levels
are RECREATIONAL,
NOVICE,
AMATEUR,
and
PRO.
- Global E-mails
The second method is to send sponsored advertisements to
our entire database. We have a team database here on PaintballTeams.com,
but we also have a field database on PaintballFields.com, and thousands
of members on PaintballForums.com. Advertising projects that hit all
of these databases get into the thousands of dollars, and are negotiated
on
a case-by-case basis. For pricing, call John at 888-432-7965.
- Banner Advertising
We can place banner ads on any of our sites with a plan that will match
your budget. Prices are online here.
Step 2. Estimate the price for your campaign
The cost to
send mass e-mails to our team and field databases is only $1 per team or
field. You get TWO campaigns for that price, and you do not pay for e-mails
that bounce back to us. The number of valid e-mail addresses changes from
time-to-time because teams sometimes use hotmail and AOL e-mail accounts
that expire. We do housecleaning on our database every three months to
weed-out old teams.
We have an online
tool that lets you determine the maximum price that your campaign will
cost, by counting the teams from the states and play levels that you choose.

HERE to calculate how many teams are in your area to advertise
to. The total estimate that you get from that tool will usually be about
75% of what you would actually pay, due to bounced messages.
Step 3. Develop your advertisement
We can send plain text e-mails or HTML (web page style graphics)
e-mails. HTML e-mails work best, because you can include photos and links
in your message. People also respond better when you have pictures of your
field or products in the e-mail. If you
do not
have
your own
web designer (who does great work), then we recommend that you let us help
you develop your HTML e-mail.
All links that you put into your HTML e-mail
should be linked in an absolute manner. What this means is that instead
of a graphic link looking like this: /images/player.jpg ,
it needs to look like this: http://www.yourpaintballdomain/images/player.jpg.
A lot of people get this wrong when they first send bulk e-mails, and the
images and links are all broken when people get your advertisement (bad).
Our price to develop an HTML advertisement is done hourly,
because the complexity is different for each e-mail advertisement that
we produce. The time it takes for us to produce the ad is also related
to how good you are about giving us the photos and content for your ad.
Our web design hourly rate is $75/hour, and most html advertisements should
not take more than two hours max. In many cases one hour is sufficient.
