Why are the sponsors?
Our goal is to break all the barriers potentially keeping the church from broadcasting their sermons online. Many of you can relate to annual budget restraints that make advancing your outreach in new technology a difficult task. From the beginning Sermon Player has based our pricing on the size of the church and not on the use of the service. The larger church has a larger listeners base yet a budget to cover the added expense. We believe the newly planted church or smaller churches should have the same benefits of broadcasting the gospel online to help reach the lost in their community and raise awareness to those searching for a church home.
We are partnering with Christian organizations to help pay for your sermon player system. Due to the overwhelming response to the free Sermon Network Player there are thousands of listeners each and every day and you have contributed and average of 6,500 new sermons every month! The Sermon network Sponsors are making it possible for any Christian ministry worldwide to broadcast their sermons online free!
Who are the sponsors?
Each week there will be newly added sponsors to the network. We are screening each company and the product/service they provide. We are focusing on relationships with organizations looking to provide your listeners with additional resources to grow in their relationship with the Lord, their family, and the church.
What will my listeners experience?
Each time your free sponsored network player is loaded the listener will see your archive of sermons and options available as usual. Within 15 seconds a small banner image will appear in the top display panel of your player. The banner will remain displayed for 30 seconds and then it will rotate to another sponsor. At anytime the listener may close the banner to view the content displayed. Once closed the cycle will start over.
After much research in available advertising mediums we have decided this method is the least intrusive and easily managed by your listeners. Network sponsors will receive the exposure necessary to reach their target consumer and your listening audience will maintain uninterrupted listening minutes.
What if i don't want the sponsor banners to display in my player?
The player viewed within your channel on the Sermon Network will always have a sponsor banner within the player. The Sermon Network is additional exposure for your ministry beyond what you are doing. This exposure does not cost you anything other than the time it takes to contribute your sermons. The sponsors cover the expense of storage and delivery of your sermons.
With that being said, if you would like to have a sponsor free player on your church web site or blog you may due so by upgrading to a premium account. Your flat rate monthly fee will cover all storage and delivery.
