Welsh enthusiasts have a new and exciting opportunity during the 2016 WPCSA American National Show, September 28-October 1 to take part in promoting our breed to the largest audience available to us to date, with banner advertising shown during the livestream. 

For those who cannot make the trip this year, iequine.com will be livestreaming the show in real time via Internet.  For those who come to the show, videos of the classes will be available for $25 per class by Sharyhill Shooters.  For those who have ponies to sell or farms to promote, iequine has banner advertising available that will be shown to thousands of horse enthusiasts worldwide as they watch the American National.  

The livestream company, iequine, has over 100,000 subscribers and had 1.4 million visits during webcasts last year.  Advertisers received 12M banner ad impressions and 140,000 click throughs last year. They livestream the Morgan Grand Nationals, the Scottsdale Arabian Show, the Mini, APHA, and the NSBA World Championships, the All American Quarter Horse World Congress and the Egyptian Event Europe to name a few.

Because this is our first year and we have a smaller group, iequine is offering ads to us at a greatly reduced rate.  Go to http://iequine.net/shows/congress/ to see info about the company and some other notable shows. The rates listed are for the QH show.  You can click on the media kit for more info. 

The small banner, 300px wide x 250px high, is $125; the medium banner (900px x 90px) which is directly above the player and is clickable to a url, is $150. and the large banner which is located to the right of the player or directly below when in theatre mode, stretches 300 px wide by 600px high and is also clickable to a desired url.  Ads will carousel. 

Numerous international Welsh Pony owners have access to the show and we will be keeping it on a multitude of facebook pony/horse pages to keep interest up as we approach the show dates in addition to its inclusion on the iequine calendar.    So in addition to the 100,000 subscribers who already check in on iequine.com, many others will also know about it. 

For someone who has several ponies for sale or wants to promote their farm in a stand out ad, there is a 15 second video slot available that will play at the beginning every time someone clicks on the livestream during the show.  The cost for this is $1500.  We have a considerable reduction in price for this option so this is a good opportunity for someone who is looking for brand recognition of their farm or showing their sale ponies to thousands of people.  Video production is available with farm provided raw video footage at a reasonable cost. 

These banners will be seen by everyone showing as they will be checking the livestream during the show on their smart phones or computers or the media center in the show barn

AND thousand of others via the above mentioned venues, who will fall in love with Welsh Ponies!

Iequine does not charge the viewer to watch the show.  Their income is through advertising.  They will share some of the advertising revenue with the American National so this is a fund raiser for the show and organization also.  We will be accepting banners that need design work until September 17.  Banners that are designed and sized may be sent directly to iequine.com up to September 27.  For more information contact Winona Myers, publicity chair for the American National, 620-782-3893, imprint@wheatstate.com for an ad template or media kit.  Please check with us for reasonable prices for art design.  These are exciting times!
