BrainFoodToGo.com is a valuable service to an important demographic that enables hosts and sponsors to build brand awareness and create enduring loyalties. The BrainFoodToGo.com Master Menu can be a unique complement to any customer/member relationship program.

HOSTING

A "Host" is an entity (professional association, non-profit organization, alumni group, economic development agency, publication, media outlet, or educational institution) that promotes and facilitates access to BrainFood among its constituents. It also encourages its members, clients or students to "cook up" BrainFood for distribution to entrepreneurs and business owners. BrainFood programming can be available to Hosts at no cost.

Click-to host: Offers free BrainFood podcasts and/or printed materials on a Host-branded BrainFoodToGo.com portal that is clicked to via an icon on the Host's principal web site. This private-labeled, click-to “home page” offers valuable know-how to business owners and entrepreneurs and features the Host’s logo, branding, and desired content and selected links to other web sites. It allows the Host to offer continuing subscriptions for audio and video materials (RSS feeds) to its clients, prospects, and members as part of an on-going "constituent relationship program." Click here to see what a branded click-to "home page" can look like. Revenue generated from Sponsors identified in the Order Out section on a Host's click-to BrainFood "home page" is shared with Host organizations. Students in Host institutions are also eligible to earn compensation from "ScholarTip" content they submit. Printed and recorded BrainFood materials contain short commercial "blinks."
Click-through host: Directs visitors to a Host's principal home page to free BrainFood podcasts and/or printable materials on the principal BrainFoodToGo.com internet portal via a click-through icon on the Host's web site. It provides a valuable free service that rewards clients and /or members for their affiliation and for visiting the Host’s site. This option provides a free service to a Host's constituents at no cost to the Host. There is no sharing arrangement for the revenues generated by sponsorship.
On-site host: Offers BrainFood podcasts or printable materials via its principal web site, intranet, e-mail programs, or publications. Materials that include sponsored "blinks" are available free of charge. Blink-free content is available to Hosts at a modest cost, with quotes and terms available upon request.

SPONSORING

A "Sponsor" is a commercial entity (corporation, professional practice, or for-profit organization that promotes and facilitates access to BrainFoodToGo.com content among its customers, clients and prospects.

Principal Sponsor: An entity that employs a BFTG click-to portal to distribute content to its customers, prospects, affiliates or employees. A Principal Sponsor can be the exclusive advertiser and provider of blinks on its BFTG portal, or it can allow other revenue-providing Supporting Sponsors (see below) to include their messages and blinks in portal content.
Principal Host Sponsor: An entity that underwrites a Host's click-to page and all of the podcast or print materials offered on it in return for 1) recognition as the primary site sponsor; and, 2) “blinks” in the podcasts and printouts that are offered on the site. A Principal Sponsor is clearly identified on the Host's click-to BFTG "home page" as the Host's primary supporter. In addition to prominent graphics and promotional copy, the Principal Sponsor enjoys first position on the click-to "Order Out" front page menu. These Sponsors are also aided in creating attributed content for the Hosts' BFTG site.
Supporting Host Sponsor: An entity that purchases a "click to" advertisement in the Order Out section of the Host's BFTG "home page" or purchases "blink(s)" in the content that is offered on that page.
