These messages educate members about Internet hardware, software, websites, products, business initiatives and online services, as well as motivate the members to improve their Internet knowledge, talk to their kids and family about online communication, participate in new technology innovations, and seek out relevant business products as needed.

We Encourage You to become an Exclusive Sponsor
A 2006 sponsorship study in the Journal of Advertising Research, conducted by Bill Harvey, Stu Gray and Gerald Despain, determined exclusive sponsorship advertising works. "This study and 28 similar ones preceding it clearly demonstrate that "exclusive' sponsorship on the Internet produces a substantial lift in brand consideration and purchase intent. ... And we can now add to this equation that there a considerable and meaningful "gratitude effect' generated by sponsorship."
