There are plenty of corporate generosity opportunities in MarineZine for you to promote your business in ways other than running display ads or creating affiliate partnerships and which may suit your business better than direct advertising.

You may like to consider some, or all, of the following ways to score a hit with our readership:

• You may like to pick an amount you wish to invest in having CD's of the magazine produced and packaged in a wrapper which declares: This Free CD Issue Of MarineZine Courtesy of [Your Company Name] or similar wording. We arrange to have CDs distributed via Internet cafés and other suitable outlets, not only to boat-owners who are not online aboard although they have computer facilities - the vast majority of computer-literate 'yachties' at the moment - but to anyone who would like a copy!  If yours is a small business, this is still an option for you.  A group of small sponsorships can have the same impact as one large sponsor. 
  
• Make one or more of your products available as prizes to winners of contests and competitions. 
  We offer winners a choice of the prizes available at the time - the more prizes available, the more competitions we run. Your 'prize' may be on offer for quite some time before it is selected, giving you even better publicity - you may like to offer a series of prizes. As one is claimed so you put up another, and so on. 
  
• Offer sponsorship through MarineZine to individuals and/or teams involved in competitive marine sports or record attempts, adventures, research etc. Unlike some of the unscrupulous individuals, and indeed teams, who have taken sponsorship funds and, by premeditation, failed to make their attempt, let alone to succeed, thus putting potential sponsors off backing true winners, our candidates will have been 'vetted' to ensure within all possible certainty that they are genuine and will be aware that failure to make their best effort will receive adverse publicity from us.
  
• Make a donation to the Benevolent Fund, either by putting up prizes for one or more draws or by pledging (and eventually donating) a sum of money to help swell the Fund.
  
• Provide products for review - If you'd like us to try out anything you are launching in the marine market we will report to you on our findings. If you are happy for us to publish the report we will do so on this page. If , as a result of our findings or for any reason, you prefer to re-work the product and have us try out the new version we will do so and report again.
  We will be glad to give anything interesting a fair trial. This can include any electro-domestic items which might be used aboard a boat and anything of general purpose - clothing, for example, or cleaning products.
  If you are not certain whether your product would qualify, tell us about it and we'll let you know.  
  If the editors are in a position to review them personally, we will do so. If not, we will pass them to others who can be relied upon to review them properly and guarantee to liaise with you before publishing the reviews.
  
• Supply the  Editors with your tried and tested product(s) and have them mentioned favourably in the magazine at every opportunity...provided that it is merited. We'll tell you, if the products are not up to standard but we'll tell our readers if they are!
  
• You may have other suggestions to offer - we are interested in whatever you care to discuss.
