JANUARY 1, 2009 UPDATE: Advertisement and Sponsorship for NutsForAnimeFigures.com is currently suspended.  We will re-consider when the economic environment, particulary in the retail sector, improves.   

NutsForAnimeFigures.com (NAF) is a fansite devoted to news and reviews of anime figure products, with a particular focus on North American releases. According to SiteMeter statistics, for the month of August, 2006, NAF drew almost 2,000 visits and over 5,500 page views.

As a fansite, NAF obtains figure review samples through normal means---through online retailers, comic book stores, and other brick and mortar retailers. Every figure reviewed was purchased out of pocket. In order to expand its figure review sample budget, NAF is offering advertising and sponsorship.

ADVERTISING: NAF is offering placement of banner ads in its banner rotation, at the rate of $9.99 for 30 days, payable by PAYPAL ONLY & NON-REFUNDABLE. The banner should be no more than 468 pixels across, in jpg, png, or gif format, and up to 250kb in size. Please note that because of hosting provider GoDaddy's TOS, NAF cannot accept advertising banners containing adult and pornographic images.

SPONSORSHIP: NAF's sponsorship package is geared towards members of the anime retailing industry. The package consists of SIX slots in the banner rotation (subject to the ad banner restrictions above, i.e. 468 pixels across), plus a spot in the Sponsorship module, located on the upper right section of the website. The module is set to appear on every page that a NAF user visits. The NAF sponsor icon should be 120x120 pixels, in jpg, png, or gif format. The sponsorship rate is $40 per quarter (i.e. October, November, and December), PAYABLE BY PAYPAL ONLY & NON-REFUNDABLE.

The six slots in the banner rotation is ideal for an anime retailer to advertise a sale, or a new release in stock. The ads in these slots CAN BE CHANGED WEEKLY. The slots will be labeled A through F, and the sponsor can request a change in an ad by emailing the new ad and the slot to occupy, along with the link for the ad to direct to. Additionally, the six slots can feature the same ad up to six times, or repeated any number of times up to six. Every page on NAF features an ad from the banner rotation, and as a NAF user surfs the website, the user will be exposed to a variety of ads.

Please note that NAF will limit the number of sponsorships to FIVE. Once all five spots are filled, NAF will not take on a new sponsor unless another sponsor declines to renew.

All fees generated from advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate commissions will go toward the NAF Figure Review Sample Acquisition Fund (albeit the fees will not cover all the expenses of running NAF).  NAF plans to bring in one or more figure reviewer(s), and will use this fund to send such staff review samples.

In addition to anime retailing industry, the NAF Sponsorship may also be of interest to a member of the video game industry, or the music industry.

LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: NAF, its advertisers, affiliates, and sponsors are independent parties with no control over the conduct of the other parties. Therefore, NAF is not responsible for any misconduct or bad business practice of such parties, nor for false and/or misleading advertising. Furthermore, a third party cannot assert a right as a third party beneficiary through NAF's relationships with advertisers, affiliates, and sponsors. All terms and conditions listed on this page are subject to NAF's Terms of Use, including but not limited to choice of law, venue, and forum.
