Why Advertise with Quaker Ads?

The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is a small denomination but the influence of Quakers on society is stronger than their numbers would suggest.  They are activists, donors, avid readers, technologically savvy, environmentally minded, and willing to invest in products, services and causes that resonate with their faith. Our network of respected Quaker sites, from blogs to online magazines to community sites, will ensure your messaging reaches the Quaker audience you want. We offer IAB standard ads and above-the-fold placement on all of our network sites.

Types of Ads:

The chart to the right shows the three ad sizes currently being offered by QuakerAds. The “Leaderboard” is wide across the top (728 by 90 pixels). The “Rectangle” is smaller and more box-like (180 by 150 pixels). The “Wide Skyscraper” is a long and thin ad that goes along a sidebar (160 by 600 pixels). You can see some samples here: rectangle, wide skyscraper, leaderboard. Not all participating QuakerAds publishers is required to carry each of these sizes. Exact placements vary by publication, though all ads are required to start “above the fold” to be visible to viewers without scrolling.

Ad Prices

Each ad size has it’s own pricing based on CPM, or cost per thousand impressions (the “M” being the French mille). The current CPM prices are:

• Rectangles: $8/thousand
• Skyscraper: $11.75/thousand
• Leaderboard: $18/thousand

Many advertisers opt for 5000 or 10,000 impressions per month:

• Rectangles: $40 for 5000 impressions; $80 for 10,000
• Skyscrapers: $58.75 for 5000 impressions; $117.50 for 10,000.
• Leaderboards: $90 for 5000 impressions; $180 for 10,000.

The total cost is a simple calculation based on ad size, monthly impressions and the number of months you want to buy. We’ll do the math when we make out your invoice so you can confirm it’s the price you expect before you pay.

Long-Term or Special Event Advertising

Ads can be displayed over any period of time. We can work with you to help you come up with your advertising strategy. Some advertisers want a certain amount of impressions (ad views) a month over a year’s time, while others want ads to run over a specific time range. Recent examples include:

• A Quaker organization hosting a conference bought 1000 impressions to display in the three weeks before the registration deadline;
• A blogger bought 24,000 impressions so that his ad would show 2,000 times a month over the next year.
• A book publisher wanted their ad to display 10,000 times per month over the next nine months; they bought 90,000 impressions to be spread evenly over the desired time.

Each ad size lists a “CPM” rate. This is the cost per thousand impressions or views. If you wanted 3,000 views per month over the next year, that would be 36,000 views. If you were buying the $5 CPM size, the total cost would be a one-time $180 charge.
