Why sponsor Monitoring Weekly?

With so many options for where to spend your sponsorship dollars, it’s an apt question! Simply put: if you want to reach a group of people who love monitoring and are always looking for tools and tips on improving it, Monitoring Weekly is the newsletter to do it. There are many newsletters out there that contain a cross-section of the industry, but Monitoring Weekly is the only one focused exclusively on monitoring. You can look through past issues in the Issue Archive to see what a typical issue is like.

What does a sponsorship look like in the newsletter?

There are two sponsor slots in each newsletter issue, spaced throughout the issue. The slot can contain an image, a link to anywhere you’d like, and about 50 words of text.

Unique to Monitoring Weekly, I write the sponsorship copy for you. Based on two years worth of sponsorship data, it’s conclusive that links perform significantly better when I write them, sometimes at a 10x or more increase in clicks.
