Website Content Ownership- $3000/year

Content Ownership on a website is a better value than advertising. We have found it is more valuable to associate a company’s brand with people’s passion points and gives them more of what they come to the website for. In this case it would be valuable content and not more ads. According to Media Post’s Media Magazine, 45% of ad revenue now comes from sponsorships, which are the fastest-growing category of online advertising. With content ownership, information (or entertainment) is brought “as a gift” to the consumer by a sponsor where the gift is not tainted by the intrusion of sales pitches into the editorial content. This soft sell does not change the consumers’ perception of the product or service so much as it positively influences their perception of the sponsor, which in turn rubs off on perceptions of the brands. With Internet users complaining about ad clutter and pop ups, we are looking to have companies sponsor through content ownership. Empower Me! Prefers to work with sponsors to deliver timely and useful information that can benefit the site guest and allow them to enjoy their stay and feel obliged to return (and subsequently refer others). There is a unique power of content ownership that satisfies a range of marketing goals, and it buys affinity, a deeper association between a brand and it’s audience. Also this option is especially attractive to sponsors that want to differentiate themselves from other brands on a site. Consumers are more likely to follow advice of and buy brands they trust. By forming a Content Partnership, you position your company's expertise in front of an audience of African American Women with decision making capabilities and spending power.
