NOTE: (yes I know its Advertising not avertising) lol
I have been in a dialog with the owners of evolutionm.net about selling advertising space in the TLC and Canadian section. This advertising can be demographically based and target Toronto and Canadian IP addresses. So for example if you are a local Tire or Auto Part shop in the Toronto area, you might be interested in advertising that is selectively focused on people who live in toronto area or if your a national chain then Canadian wide eyes.

The options are unlimited and evolutionm.net is willing to offer custom packages to meet these needs.

If your interested or if you know someone / company that might be. Let me know. This will do wonders into expanding our clubs revenue base and the websites functionality. To those still looking for a buy and sell section that dialog has been started as well. But will take more time since this club section is still just a beta project in progress.

I would again like to thank evolutionm.net for granting us this club status.
Cheers

 

what kind of ads are we talking about here? the banners on the top + side?

 

yes but as you will notice I think there is additional ad spaces within the thread inbetween posts that show up if you are not a member / not logged in. The vbulletin board system is very flexible so basically anything is possible. But to keep it simple yeah, the side and top banner spaces for starters. I am talking to a few big names in the Toronto area, and to be honest the pricing is cheaper than you would expect.

There are even possible static (FIXED) Add spaces which might be available , so if you look at the right hand side and look at tire rack ad at the top, that is a fixed example. but there are other positions which are of for grabs as well.

 

A common sponsor on other car forums: Tires23, Audioheaven

Sidenote: evo_soul you should come into contact with Markham Mitsubishi in regards to mods. Looks like they are going to be selling the Ultimate Racing mods for the Ralliarts. They have it on one of their cars already. Maybe you can get them to be a mod-happy place

 

Well there are a few dealerships that the club is friendly with. 1 dealership that is actually interested in giving us specialty pricing on service and parts. If anyone thinks that have a special / friendly connection with a dealership let me know.

 

Highly recommend these two shops as club sponsors. My old car (00 protege) forum both had these sponsors and the offer great service and discounts on Tires/ Rims/ Tints/ Audio.

 

simplytire is another that frequents many different car clubs

 

Simply is good too, Allen's a great guy

KSL auto is the place to go.
Malik is the mechanic most of our guys get our springs done there.

^What does your local guy charge to install springs?

Asked my local dealership what they would charge for spring install. $376.00 (CND) and $109.00 (CND) for alignment.
