Revenue Potential for Festival Owners

Monetize your gallery page with sponsor advertising

SnapStream provides festival owners with an additional revenue stream through premium advertising slots on the gallery page. Sell these slots to your event sponsors and turn your photo gallery into a valuable marketing asset.

How It Works

  • Each gallery page features a dedicated advertising slot (banner or sidebar placement)
  • Festival owners can sell this space to event sponsors
  • Sponsors get premium visibility to engaged attendees viewing their photos
  • High-value audience: attendees actively engaged with festival content
  • Extended exposure: gallery pages remain accessible for 7-14 days after the festival

Revenue Potential

For a typical 4-day festival with 8,000 attendees:

  • 20-30% registration rate = 1,600-2,400 gallery page views
  • Multiple visits per user = 3,000-5,000+ total page impressions
  • 7-14 day access period = extended sponsor visibility
  • Premium placement = high-value advertising real estate

Festival owners can package this as a premium sponsorship tier, offering sponsors exclusive access to this engaged audience segment. Pricing can be structured as a flat fee per festival or based on expected impressions.

Additional Revenue Stream

Generate extra income by selling advertising space to existing sponsors. No additional work required.

High-Value Audience

Reach attendees at their most engaged moment - when viewing their personal festival photos.

Measurable Results

Provide sponsors with detailed analytics: impressions, click-through rates, and engagement metrics.

Enhanced Sponsor Packages

Add value to existing sponsor relationships. Offer gallery advertising as an exclusive premium tier.
