Innovative Advertising Offerings Available

DNJ.com and its sister sites offer a variety of creative opportunities to make your advertising message stand out. Among them:

Online banner ads

Reach your best customers by placing your online advertising message within targeted areas of DNJ.com or any of our niche sites. You may also reach a broader audience with a run-of-site schedule throughout all our sites. Common sizes offered: leaderboard, skyscraper, island ad, text and rollover.

Pencil ad/sliding billboard

With a Pencil ad, your message will be the first thing people see when they log on to DNJ.com or open a specific page of the site of your choosing. These ads grab readers’ attention because they dominate the page and then scroll up to rest as a horizontal position at the very top of the page.

Peel back ads

Stand out from the crowd with a Peel Back ad. The page flips down to show your ad message, and then comes back up to rest from the top right corner. When viewers scroll over the flap, your ad message expands again.

DNJ.com funnels its digital content into two mobile platforms: One configured for the iPhone and the other for BlackBerry and other smart phones. Readers can find news and information wherever they find themselves, right from their cell phone or PDA. You get an audience who wants to stay informed in a fast paced world.

Z.A.G. targeting

As the Rutherford County’s leading site for local news, DNJ.com enjoys wide reach across the market. But we can also help you target specific people, or specific areas within Rutherford County or Middle Tennessee. With Z.A.G., target your online advertising by Zip Code, Age or Gender, so your ads reach readers most likely to respond to your message.

It’s simple:

--- Pick readers living and working in specific Zip codes

--- Select an Age range or income bracket that best fits your current or desired customer

--- Run banner ads that appeal by Gender (targeted to men or women)

Behavioral targeting

Behavioral targeting increases the effectiveness of your campaigns by delivering advertisements to the users who are most likely to be influenced by them. Behavioral targeting uses information collected on an individual's web-browsing behavior, such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have made, to select which advertisements to display to that individual.
