Banner Ads

Banner Ads are a great way to guarantee the amount of times your ads are viewed by Lancaster Farming’s niche audience. Not only can we report on how successful your ads are, but we can also target your ads to display for only readers in a specific geographic region. If you don’t have someone to design your ads, we will create them at no additional charge.

Banner ad sizes:

• • Leaderboard: 728×90
• • Mobile leaderboard: 320×50
• • Medium rectangle: 300×250

File Types: JPG, GIF, PNG or HTML5

We suggest ordering at least 20,000 impressions over one month to see the best results on your campaign but we can work with you to determine what best fits your goal and budget.

Your ads will rotate through various locations on the LancasterFarming.com homepage and other pages on the website including articles with other ads that are running. Ads do not appear in one specific spot consistently.
