Exclusive Channel Sponsorship

Each exclusive sponsorship includes sponsor name, logo and sponsor identifier text, all of which remain on screen while visitors navigate that channel. The sponsor also receives the banner ad space exclusively for that channel so no other companies' banner ads rotate through an exclusive sponsor's channel. Sponsors may choose to run one or up to five banner ads in their channel, providing maximum advertising exposure.

Included with each Exclusive Channel Sponsorship:

• Sponsor channel pad, logo and link on every channel page
• Up to 10 channel pad links to sponsors' site or sponsored content
• Up to 5 Banner ads that rotate through sponsor's exclusive channel that can be used to advertise sponsor products or services, or to support distributors, make special or limited offers, promote show attendance and more
• One banner additonally placed as VMSD.com run-of-site banner
• Keyword attached to banner (keywords based on availability)
• Company and product "search" listing available from every page in site
