Reduce cost of Banner Ads?

Banner ads have never been lucrative for the COC, but when the
price was nearly tripled years ago, it pretty much dried up the
banner ad business that we did get. Would love to see some
more/different banner ads on the site. Let's reduce the cost
and maybe do some sales. I would put a banner ad on the site
for my "Pandemic Merit Badges" if the cost was lowered.
Do we want to lower the cost of Banner Ads? I suggest
$100/year, which is what it was before. Open to other ideas.

A related question - we currently haven't got a Sponsorship
Coordinator. Is anyone interested in taking on that role? See
HTML https://www.calgaryoutdoorclub.com/aboutus/help.asp
page for
more info.
I don't think this needs to be a big role. It would mainly
involve receiving the sponsorship e-mails (which are very few
and far between) and adding banner ads when/if we sell any.
If you want to grow the role to include everything outlined on
the page linked above, I'm not going to stop you, but that will
be up to you. :)

I think reducing the cost of banner ads is more than justified
based simply on the decrease in traffic our site has seen over
the past few years. $100 works for me!

$100 sounds reasonable.

how was the banner cost set? Why did it go up?
more money is better than none, and I think $100 is reasonable.

I set the price of the banner ads years ago at $100/year. After
the club was incorporated, they jacked the price up to somewhere
around $250/year, I think (I don't remember for sure) and it's
been in that area ever since. I don't know why they jacked
it... probably assumed that a banner ad on the COC web site was
more valuable than I had priced it at.
