The Home Of Tomorrow’s Champions 2003-04 Season Media Kit
WHY CHOOSE THE INTERNET AS A VIABLE MEDIA ALTERNATIVE? In the ever-growing world of sports media, the perennial “burning question” for the majority of many businesses – great and small - is ‘how can we effectively promote our product to the masses without compromising our bottom line? Should we use radio, television or go by way of the local newspaper?” For most, the answer is just a few mouse clicks away. Businesses of all sizes are turning to the Internet as a cost-effective means of advertising. For just pennies on the dollar, they can reach more fans outside of their general area than the three conventional media (radio, television, print), even to the farthest reaches of the globe.
EXPERIENCE THE “ISNET DIFFERERNCE” ISNet can help your business burst of the gates through the power of the World Wide Web. Here are a few reasons why: COMPETITIVE PRICING THAT PUTS YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD For as little as $100, your products and services can expand their coverage to the far reaches of the U.S. and across the globe. Whether it’s a regular season contest or the all-important Elite 8, your ad dollar stretches farther through ISNet. WE COVER YOUR COMMUNITY The sports media landscape has broadened to include prep sports over the last 10 years, but even with the latest technology, local high school sports is still pushed to the wayside. Thanks to ISNet, the school(s) that your business support can get the same top-notch coverage as the national powers do. “A PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION ON EVERY CLICK” This is the hallmark of every ISNet broadcast. Our staff has over 50 years combined sports broadcasting experience. In addition, we have covered over 700 sporting events in just seven short years on the air, originating from such venues as the United Center, Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park, Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL, Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, and the Metrodome in Minneapolis. As to why we are called the “Home of Tomorrow’s Champions”, the athletes that we have covered are a ‘Who’s Who’ of the top athletes of today: Eddy Curry and Quentin Richardson of the NBA; collegians Sean Dockery of Duke, Daniel ‘Dee’ Brown of Illinois, Dwayne Wade of Final Four participant Marquette, and Cappie Pondexter of Rutgers. With this kind of track record, the high schools of metro Chicago can take to heart that their games will be given the same professional-level treatment as their more established counterparts in other areas of the U.S. In turn, businesses like yours that support these programs can equally feel pleased to be a part of such a presentation, giving you a bigger profile in your community. And just in case your customers can’t hear the game live, they can always catch the highlights and broadcast replays on our website (isneths.4mg.com) with CD-quality audio that can be accessed from anywhere at anytime.
