Time Options
When
Many businesses run a single ad through out the year. Their product remains the same throughout the year so their message can remain the same. Even then we encourage you to change the banner from time to time. It gives the readers something new to look at.
The timing of your campaign can be important. As we stated earlier you want the timing of your advertising to match what you are selling. Even if your product doesn't change throughout the year it's good to change the message. Use a summer theme in the summer, a winter theme in the winter, and maybe have special messages for Christmas and other holidays.
We can set your ads to run at the time you want and not run during other times. We can adjust them by the time of the year, by the month, by days of the week, or even hours of the day. Below we will demonstrate some of the features.

The advertisement above is programmed to display during a certain time of the year. It displays a message depending on the month, season or upcoming holiday. The advertisement may simply tell you what month it is. In this case it's not really designed to be informative. It is simply designed to show you how the advertisement can change with the month, season, or whatever schedule you choose. If you leave this page and then return you may get another message but it will still be relevant to the current month, season or holiday. If you come to this same page at different times throughout the year you will see different messages depending on the time of year. The same method can be used to advertise different products or services for your business. If you own a motorcycle shop you may want to advertise spring tune-ups in March, April, and May and winterizing in September and October. You can even advertise a different product each week if you like. Simply let us know the start date and end date for each advertisement. |

This banner is programmed for the day of the week. It simply demonstrates that you can make a different advertisement, or group of advertisements display during different days. At banner above will be displaying the day of the week. If you look at this page again tomorrow it will be displaying a different banner. You can use a combination of days if you like. You can display your advertisement on Sunday and Monday only, or use and another one during the rest of the week. Any combination can be used It's not completely perfect. It works on the day of the week where the server is located. In this case the day changes at midnight Pacific time. In most cases the few hours Won't make a difference. However you should be aware that if you're on the east coast the ad won't change until 3:00am. If you are farther away this feature may not be very useful. For example if you are in Fiji the banner will change from one day to the next 19 hours late. Perhaps you're wondering what good is it to display ads on a certain day of the week. Perhaps you're a business that has a special every Saturday night. Your advertisements can say one thing on Saturday and another during the remainder of the week. |

The advertisement above is programmed to display during a specific time of the day. Just like the banners above will display only on a specific day of the week these banners in will only display during a specific time of the day. The time period for each ad can be as small as one hour. The banners above will display when the ad should be seen and you should only get that ad if you came to this page during that time frame. Please note that these banners work on the hours at the location of the server, in other words, Pacific time. If you want it to operate on another time zone we simply add or subtract hours to fit your time zone. For example from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Eastern time, is equal to 11:00am to 8:00pm Pacific time. You could use this option to display your advertisement during business hours. Your ad could say something like "Call now our operators are standing by". During hours you are closed you could display another message if you want to. |
The banners above demonstrate that the time options are very flexible. It should also be pointed out that a combinations of the methods above can be used. In other words you can make a banner display on specific hours of specific days during specific months during the time frame you select. The options are endless.
The options above allow you to display your ad when, and only when, you feel the ad will be most effective. You can pre-plan advertising campaigns and have them start and end when you choose.
