Sponsoring HIStalk

Sponsor Banners

Platinum and Gold sponsors receive a full year of advertising on HIStalk. Sponsor banners appear in the right column of every page of HIStalk. Platinum banners are 120 x 240 pixels in size and appear in the Platinum section toward the top of the page. Gold banners are 125 x 125 pixels and appear below the Platinum section. The sponsorship agreement contains details about acceptable graphics formats. The year-long sponsorship begins once we receive the signed sponsorship agreement, your banner, and payment. All new sponsors are announced on HIStalk and are acknowledged at renewal as well.

Text Ads

We have great sponsor packages, but maybe you want to run a short-term ad — a position listing, an announcement, or your booth number at an upcoming conference. Or, perhaps your company is between budget cycles and can’t commit to sponsorship yet. We’ve got an answer – HIStalk text ads.

Text ads are up to five lines long and are highly cost-effective. You’ll get about 25,000 impressions per week, reaching HIStalk’s highly targeted and loyal audience of healthcare IT decision-makers. Think small text ads don’t work? They’ve made two Google kids billionaires!

Text ads are payable in advance online by credit card. We’ll post your ad quickly and you’ll see results almost immediately. Need a count of impressions or clicks? We can provide that. Why waste money on magazines that never get read and with months of lead time required? The best way to quickly reach the critical mass of the healthcare IT industry is right here on HIStalk.

1. E-mail Mr. HIStalk with the text you’d like posted.
2. You’ll receive instructions for making the online payment.
3. Once finished, we’ll set up and run your ad within a few hours.
