Do you offer a product or service that would be appealing to the biker community? If so, is your current marketing strategy reaching the right audience?

Cool Bike Rides is a free informational website designed to provide the biker community with the information they need to maximize their riding pleasure. We attract thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts (roughly 15,000 visitors in our first full year with nearly 37,000 page views) from across the United States, and are even beginning to attract riders from other countries. If this is your target audience, Cool Bike Rides is the place to be.

Advertising with Cool Bike Rides allows you to take advantage of our extensive marketing campaign at an extremely affordable price. We do the hard work so you don't have to.

We offer different ways you can place your products or services in front of potential buyers. Each is defined below.

Banner Ad - Banner ads allow you to place a graphical banner on the page of your choice. The banner will also be linked directly to your website, or can be made to invoke an e-mail to you automatically. If you have neither, and would prefer to have us design a content landing page for your product or service, contact us at icreswell@coolbikerides.com for special pricing. You can opt to do a vertical or horizontal banner. A Vertical banner will be placed in the right column on the page of your choosing. It can be in full color or black and white. There's no additional charge either way. If you choose to sponsor a page, and would like to be an exclusive sponsor, the fee will be higher. If your willing to share the page with others, we'll work to avoid placing competitors on the same page to maximize your marketing dollar. If you don't have the expertise to create your own banner, we can quote you on creating this for you.

Ads may be paid for on a quarterly or annual basis. Once you've decided how you'd like to pay, and selected your payment option below, e-mail us your banner and let us know where you'd like it placed. Prices quoted below are for any page on the site other than the main page. E-mail for prices if you'd like to place your ad on the main page.

To place an annual ad it's only $110.00 per banner placed. This is the most cost effective way to start promoting your business, product or service to our visitors. Click on the link below to subscribe to our annual ad placement program:



If you'd prefer to pay quarterly, the fee is $30.00 per banner per quarter. Though the cost is a little higher, it allows you to spread your payments out throughout the year. This is an excellent option if you are seeking to place multiple ads and limit your total initial cash outlay. Click on the link below to sign up for our quarterly ad placement program.

 

Text Ad - If you're working on a tight budget but still need to get the word out on your product, a text based ad may be the way to go. A text ad is simply textual content incorporated into a page that provides a link back to your website or e-mail address. This allows you to place your content on the page without the expense of creating a banner. We offer text ads at a discounted rate.

Text ads are billed annually only and may be placed for $75.00 per ad. These include no graphics and may be placed on any page other than the main page on the site. E-mail us the text you'd like to use and tell us where you'd like to place it.



Special Offers - Perhaps you have a product, service or business of interest to our riders. If so, contact us, provide us with a graphic representing this, or a PDF document displaying the offer, and we'll announce your offer on our e-mail blasts and will place it on our website. This service is billing monthly and can be an ongoing offer or may run for a single month. The cost of this program is only $35.00 per month.




Sponsor a Ride - Throughout the year, we plan rides with local bikers, and encourage bikers outside of our area to do the same. We began these two years ago and decided to call them TOW rides which stands for Tuesday's on Wheels. A tow ride is simple, we map a ride that lasts between 1-2 hours and we stop and grab dinner along the way. If we have an eatery sponsor the ride, we map the ride to start, or pause at the establishment for a bite to eat. In addition, we announce the sponsor on the TOW ride page for that ride and include the sponsor in the write-up of the ride when it's complete along with pictures and a slideshow (video when available). We will also occasionally do longer weekend rides. These are available as well.

If you have a place you'd like us to visit, please e-mail is at icreswell@coolbikerides.com today so we can get a ride scheduled.

The cost to sponsor one of these rides is a one time fee of $150.00. Though the overall number people on these rides tends to be small, 10-20 people, it's the ongoing exposure you'll receive from the subsequent write-up, riding maps, and pictures/video that will make this a worthwhile investment. The write up will remain on the site for no less than a year, and in many cases remain for several years. Check out our Places We've Been section for more information.
