$1000 for $1300 in sales seems high, is 75% ad spend normal for the industry ?


Hey ig1,

We have a pretty high reorder rate so the cumulative effect of the sponsorship will probably be more than double the initial sales.


I imagine there's cumulative effect that will happen: the longer you are a sponsor the more customers that will attract. Also, these new customers might come back at a later date.


The second sponsor (hostgator.com) has taken this approach. They're sponsoring for two months.
