For awhile now, we have wanted to come up with a kit that represented Bike198.com and the strong readership we have built here over the years. However, we didn’t want it to be just another “me too” website cycling jersey. We wanted the sale of our kits to actually mean something and give back to an industry that has provided so much to us over the years…so we came up with an idea.
Why don’t we raise money for the Livestrong Foundation at the same time?!
And that is what we did. Bike198.com is partnering up with the Livestrong Foundation to raise money and awareness for cancer through the sale of Bike198.com jerseys, shorts and bibs.
Champion Systems has gotten on board and provided the pricing necessary to achieve our goal and extract the maximum amount out of the sale of the kits to provide a larger dollar amount of each sale to go back to the Foundation.
1/2 of all profits from the sales (advertising and kit sales) are going straight to the Livestrong Foundation.
Who Are You Reaching?
Bike198.com has a dedicated cyclist following that is looking for riding tips and in-depth product reviews. Here are some stats.
- 60,000 monthly visitors
- 100,000+ pageviews per month
- 9,800+ RSS Subscribers
- 7,400+ Newsletter Subscribers (growing at a rate of 40-50 per day)
Your company will be featured on the Bike198.com jersey as well as featured on all sales pages and emails to newsletter subscribers (w/links back to your site). This insures that you reach a large cycling audience and you do so in a philanthropic fashion that sets a positive light for your company in our dedicated audience.
What Do We Need From You?
On the back of the jerseys, we have opened up 7 advertising slots for manufacturers, retailers and other related companies in the industry to support what we are trying to accomplish with these kit sales (jersey comp pictured below). With 2 premium slots and 5 secondary slots, you have a couple of options to chose from, but time is sensitive due to the low number of options.
Premium Ad Slot: $500.00 (w/$250 getting donated)
Secondary Ad Slot: $250.00 (w/$125.00 getting donated)
Any additional funds provided over the ad slot amount will be given straight to the Livestrong Foundation. Ads are sold on a first come first serve basis.
There will be an initial pre-order process and then the jerseys and shorts will be available for purchase off of the site for our current and future readers.
