This service is available to OCRI Corporate Members only. The type
of information we send is upcoming events/courses etc. that are
technology related. If there is a cost to attend your event, we
ask that you offer OCRI members a discount of at least 25%.
The cost for one announcement is $250 plus GST. The electronic
mailing is sent to over 4,000 individuals on our database. We also
list the announcement on our website under "Members' Events"
until the event date has passed. We schedule our broadcast for every
second Tuesday. The broadcast consists of up to a maximum of 12
announcements.
The order of placement in the broadcast is based on first come
first placed basis. If you are interested in using this member service,
please contact Alex Pugh at 828-6274 x266 or email alexp@ocri.ca

NOTE: We do not take "blanket" bookings,

Target your audience with banner advertising.
OCRI is pleased to offer our members an opportunity to place a

promotions built around your brand or a special event can offer
you high-visibility placement and a fantastic opportunity to quickly
showcase your offerings. Broadcasts are distributed every second
Tuesday. The bi-weekly broadcast has a circulation to over 4,000.
Ad graphics must be delivered to OCRI no later than 5:00 p.m. on
the Wednesday prior to distribution.
The following are the guidelines for online ads:

- In order to allow as many members as possible the opportunity
to take advantage of this promotional opportunity, members will
be allowed an ad once every two months in the bi-weekly broadcast.

a first come, first served basis.
- Ads must be 600 pixels in width and no greater than 144 pixels
