Traffic and Community Statistics

DECTweb went 'live' in September 1998, after a 6-month period of beta-trialling. Since then the website has gradually grown in both industry recognition and its level of use:

• 1999: In it's first full year of operation, DECTweb received over 0.5 million hits, with average hits/month of 46621.  

• 2000: Traffic continued to increase very substantially, closing the year with nearly 2 million hits during the previous 12 months. DECTweb also received recognition from the DECT forum, the industry organization, with DECTweb hosting the DECT forum site also.

• 2001: Traffic doubled again, closing the year with nearly 4 million hits during the previous 12 months.

In the three months to Jan 2002, the site has averaged >1,000 separate user sessions every day.   Average sessions usage times have continued to hold constant over the past 12 months, indicating a stable and solid user community, who recognise and value the content provided on the DECTweb site.  Very little formal promotion of DECTweb has been attempted - such sustained traffic growth and loyalty has primarily been achieved through word-of-mouth as news has spread through the industry.

DECTnews, our free-on-request subscription e-mail news service, is another important part of the DECTweb  community package.  DECTnews is currently e-mailed to around 2000 self-subscribed members in > 50 countries, all of whom are self-subscribed members of the DECTweb community - ie by definition these are people with a self-declared specific interest in DECT, most of whom are employed within the DECT industry.   Such individuals submit news directly to DECTweb and are the source of most of the news we include on our news pages.

Sponsorship Options - suitable for both large and small players
Sponsorship costs are low, since we do not aim to make huge profits, simply to maintain the viability of DECTweb as a free service to the industry.  

• Gold - Companies wishing to maintain a major profile across many parts of the industry may choose to sponsor one of the major, highly viewed, pages of the DECTweb site, such as the Sitemap,  the Company Directory, the News Page or the Home Page.  
  Cost is £2000 / $3000 / Euro 3400 per annum (eg Home Page, Sitemap, Company Directory or News Page) - example
  
• Silver - An intermediate cost/exposure option on any of the 'Topic Area Pages' of the site such as the 'Create Products', 'Products', 'Learning Zone', 'News & Views' pages.  
  Cost is £1000 / $1500 / Euro 1700 per annum - example
  
• Bronze - Companies involved in an industry niche may choose the minimum cost option to sponsor a single product- or service-specific page.  By doing so your company brand  becomes clearly associated with the specific product or service covered by that page.  
  Cost is £500 / $725 / Euro825 per annum - example
  (This option is automatically included within the other two options)
  
• Customized sponsorship packages - where necessary DECTweb is willing to consider customized solutions. This option would serve particularly relevant to e-tailers, or other organizations whereby existing options (listed above) would not be practical.
  
• DECTnews - Sponsorship cost of an issue of our e-newsletter is £300/$450/Euro550 but this option is only available to existing sponsors. 
  
• We can provide an animated banner design service for £300, that can be used on DECTweb and other websites. Examples of our work can be found both around the site and upon request.
