Are you an independent sim developer or a small sim publisher and are looking for affordable advertising of your products? You have come to the right place! We at Sim Pilot Magazine know what it feels like to be an add-on developer on a shoestring budget. So far the advertising market has only been accessible to the bigger players in the sim industry and we are here to change that! We offer fantastic entry advertising rates, giving you an incredible deal for your money.

Are you a medium-sized sim business looking to expand? You are a growing sim publisher and want to sustain growth by expanding your customer base? You sell simming hardware and peripherals and want to reach a wide target audience? Our magazine delivers you the right target market. We have a range of advertising deals you can pick from to suit your purposes, all of which deliver fantastic value.

You aren't a sim business but want to grow your business by getting foothold in a unique market? You produce/publish mainstream video games? Or you're selling computer systems and hardware? Do you specialise in casual video games? You make other entertainment products? We have a great offer for you. Advertising with us will expose your products to high disposable income groups, including the hard to reach young professionals and baby boomers. Our readership is a great target market for computer based entertainment products and best of all, we offer amazing deals on our main banner ads.

What else do we offer:

• We will give you monthly feedback on your banner performance. Based on our performance report, you know if and when you should make changes to your banner. Our reports give you confidence in choosing the right banner strategy.
• If your banner performs consistently below par (3 months in a row), we will give you advice on how to build a more successful banner. This will allow you to position yourself better in the market and increase sales.
• We will closely monitor your performance and tell you if we believe you should change strategy. For example, if you are on the cheapest rate and your banners are doing very well, it may be time to upgrade to target more readers and grow your business further. With the help of our advice you can easily develop a very successful banner strategy.
• We also offer split banner advertising. Simply buy two banner spots and run the two banners you want to compare. Let us know you're running a split banner, and we will do the analysis for you.

Our introduction offer:

Since we're just starting out, we offer incredible introductory rates. However, we anticipate these rates to go up very quickly. To give early advertisers an advantage we offer you locked prices for the amount of time you buy now. That's right. Buy a whole year's worth of advertising and pay the introductory rate for the whole year. This is an amazing saving as some of our rates will double within the first six months.

To make our offer even more attractive, we will offer you marketing strategy advice for free. If you buy a whole year's worth of advertising, we will have a look at your current marketing strategy and give you some tips on what to improve. Not only will we look at your banners, but also at your current website and other marketing efforts you have running. This could turn out to be some priceless advice you need to take your sim business to the next level!

Our monthly subscription fees:

At this stage we only offer monthly subscriptions on per banner basis. However, we are happy to negotiate customised deals, including cost per thousand impression rates, cost per visitor and cost per click.
