Sponsor the CAST 2012 Smart Phone App!

We also have additional sponsorship, advertising and lead generating opportunities for you to maximize your exposure before and during the event as well as year round!

Exhibitor Banner Ad with Landing Page: $500

Text Message Alerts: $250 (limit of 5)

Lead Retrieval: $150

Each time an app user with a profile views an exhibitor's listing, downloads a document, clicks on a banner, makes an exhibitor a "favorite," etc the statistics are tracked. The leads are ranked by the amount of activity the users has taken within the exhibitor's listing -- points for viewing their profile page, for downloading their documents, for linking to their booth on the map, etc.

Then the leads are listed by rank in a spreadsheet in the exhibitor's web portal where the exhibitor can export it into an excel file on their PC.  The exhibitor also receives a report in their Exhibitor Web Portal of the tallied user stats.  The leads are available 48 hours after the conference and will be kept up to date throughout the year.
