Ten reasons for Advertising on Scanners4CAD

Scanners4CAD is the only independent news and views site dedicated to the scanning of large format technical drawings and maps in an AEC, CAD and GIS environment.

The wide format scanning market is divided into two parts, technical drawing and graphics. The market for wide format technical drawing scanners is the biggest market in large format scanning.
We estimate that AEC, CAD and GIS technical drawing professionals represent 75% of the market for large format scanners compared to just 25% for the graphics wide format imaging market.
Scanners4CAD's strength is in AEC, CAD and GIS. If you sell wide format technical drawing scanners and software, Scanners4CAD offers you the most highly targeted means of reaching this market.
We do not sell large format scanners.
Our advice is not slanted to selling your competitors' products.
Our free, useful content attracts visitors.
We sell Scan2CAD raster to vector conversion software. Scan2CAD has made us expert in scanned image quality. Scanners4CAD leads the wide format imaging community in providing image quality expertise.
Scanners4CAD provides free and easy access to its large format scanner knowledgebase. Many publications restrict visitor access to information by demanding contact details, even payment.
People visit our site because the content is good and free.
Your ad will be seen by first-time wide format scanner buyers.
The technical drawing scanner market has grown since the reduced cost of large format scanners created a new market among cost-conscious CAD users. This market is expected to keep on growing as wide format scanner prices come down.
Scanners4CAD caters for this market of first-time wide format scanner buyers, offering news, views, explanations, a scanner comparison chart and objective buying advice.
Your ad will be seen by existing scanner users - your potential future users!
Scanners4CAD includes hints, tips and articles on using large format scanners.
While existing users may have one of your competitors' products now, Scanners4CAD will introduce the benefits of your product to them for future sales.
Your ad will be seen by resellers and distributors.
Scanners4CAD's forthright comment is eagerly anticipated by manufacturers, distributors and resellers worldwide. Use it to present new products to the distribution channel.
Your ad will normally appear "above the fold".
Your ad is visible immediately to anyone visiting Scanners4CAD as we position our ads in the top part of the page. In many web sites the most affordable advertising falls "below the fold", hidden below the screen until the reader scrolls down.
Your ad will get an equal chance of the best position.
Many web sites position ads on a "first come, first served" basis. This means your ad must start at the bottom of the pile. We randomly rotate your ad to give it equal prominence with other ads in the same price bracket. Your ad will appear on every page - except this one!
You'll receive ads in the Scanners4CAD Comparison Chart and Scan2CAD eNewsletter.
The Scanners4CAD Comparison Chart is free to all potential wide format scanner buyers. It is the first point of reference for many.
As a Scanners4CAD advertiser you'll also receive a text ad in the Scan2CAD eNewsletter which has a global circulation of 30,000+ CAD users.
You'll get your sales message to this well-defined audience at a cost-effective rate.
