Manage Advertisers

 

Overview

Sponsors can make financing an organization much easier, but the trick is always finding something to give them in return for their contributions. Smarter Trail’s advertising tools make this easy, providing ad placement where it matters most. You can offer better placement in your site’s food and places sections, image ads that will be added to your club’s side menu rotation without being offensive, exposure to people who are likely to be genuinely interested in their services and so much more.
