“If I think of that in terms of investment, in a matter of 5 hours a month, I received the same amount of qualified leads as I would attending a conference.” – Paper.Li’s Community Manager Kelly Hungerford on the value Paper.Li received from sponsoring #Blogchat
First, the numbers:
#Blogchat averages generating approximately 10-20 Million impressions a week, and has a reach of approximately 1-3 Million people weekly, according to Hashtracking.
Based on an average of 15 Million impressions a week (or 60 Million a month), your CPM for a #Blogchat sponsorship is literally pennies per thousand impressions!

Each month’s sponsorship is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and can be reserved up to 3 months in advance with a deposit. Email me for details. Additionally, if you sponsor the entire month, you will have the opportunity to be the special guest host for one Sunday during your month-long #Blogchat sponsorship. Guest-hosting is optional, but it’s a great way for your company to position itself and demonstrate your expertise and thought leadership.

I like the fact that sponsorship for your chat is transparent Mack. I have been in chats where it is obvious they are sponsored but arrangements are private.
AllergEase (and companies like them) feels like a great match for BlogChat. They have a product they can sample to Bloggers in a very positive environment. They are actively participating in the chat (thanks for the RT tonight!). Should totally make sense in their marketing budget.
Thank you Linda, and I agree!
Mack,
I agree with Linda in the transparency of this well thought-out marketing venue. Stats in the blogesphere are super important to capture interest. The way you explain the potential for ROI is nicely laid out so one can make an educated decision.

I literally can’t imagine how these aren’t booked solid for the entire year! A billion impressions in 2013, and access to a highly targeted audience of smart, tech savvy bloggers and social media professionals from every vertical: easy win for brands!
The idea of chat sponsorship is great. In the world of fighting-for-eyeballs this is much more value-add. Your transparent post and method is a winner too. Wishing this initiative all the best!
