We welcome advertising inquiries from photo retailers, manufacturers, rental studios, etc, as well as like-minded businesses and media agencies who want to connect with our creative Canadian audience. CanPhoto.Net can offer a variety of advertising and sponsorship opportunities to companies that are interested in promoting their businesses to our online community.

Sponsorship
A limited number of Official Sponsorships are available for non-competing companies who wish to gain the maximum exposure to our target audience of established and aspiring professional Canadian photographers.

What Kind of Exposure Will Your Company Receive?
The target audience of CanPhoto.Net is very well defined and focused specifically on the professional Canadian photography industry. The site was started in 2001 as a simple discussion forum, but was redesigned and relaunched in May 2011 as a full-featured site with many areas of interest. Since the relaunch, traffic to our site has grown steadily and you can be sure your company’s advertising message will be reaching an audience that is 80 per cent Canadian and primarily working photography professionals or enthusiasts.
What Does Sponsorship Cost?
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor and receiving all the benefits listed above, please contact us to discuss packages and prices. Custom designed solutions may also be available, so feel free to tell us what you need to achieve by using our contact page or the email address below.
Sponsored Blog Posts and Advertorials
Other advertising opportunities may include sponsored blog posts or advertorials. This type of advertising would only be considered if the product or service being promoted is something that would be of genuine interest to our audience of professional Canadian photographers. Sponsored posts are always declared as such within the article, for example: “This sponsored post is from X company, providers of (some details about the company or service).”
