Welcome to ASBN Advertising

We’ve made advertising on ASBN as simple as possible.

You choose the advertising package that fits your needs, upload your ad, connect it to the right campaign, and submit it for approval. Once approved, your ad can appear in the selected areas of the ASBN website.

ASBN advertising is designed to be practical, industry-focused, and relevant to the people who actually use the site.

Quick Glossary

Profile

Your profile is your advertising account inside ASBN.

This is where your advertiser information is connected to your ads, campaigns, and packages.

Package

A package defines what advertising option you have selected.

Packages may control things such as ad size, placement options, duration, or the number of ads available to you.

Order

An order is created when you select an advertising package. Packages must be ordered or purchased before the campaign and ad setup is completed.

Ad

An ad is the actual image, banner, or message you upload.

This is what visitors will see on the website.

Campaign

A campaign connects your ad to a specific advertising plan.

Think of the campaign as the container that organizes where, when, and how your ad is used.

Zone

A zone is a location on the ASBN website where ads can appear.

For example, an ad zone may be connected to a specific section such as The Office, Tech Center, Tool Room, Supplier Section, or another approved advertising area.

Basic Advertising Steps

Step 1 — Confirm You Are Signed In as a Supplier

Before starting the advertising process, make sure you are signed in to ASBN with your Supplier account.

Some members may have more than one account, such as a personal account and a supplier account. Advertising should be connected to your supplier profile.

View your present profile before continuing.(See your existing network profile)

Step 2 — Create Your Advertiser Account

Create your Advertiser account inside ASBN.

The advertiser form will automatically fetch information from your existing network profile. Review the information carefully and complete any required fields.

Your Advertiser account is what connects your supplier profile to your advertising packages, campaigns, and ads.

Step 3 — Select Your Advertising Package

Choose the Advertising Package that fits the ad size and placement you want.

Click the Buy Now button for the package you want to order.

This will take you to the payment page to complete the order. PayPal is currently used for payment processing.

Step 4 — Wait for ASBN Setup and Confirmation

After your package order is received, ASBN will set up your Advertiser account with your selected package.

Please check your email for confirmation and next-step notices.

Once your account and package are set up, you can continue with uploading your ad and creating or completing your campaign.

Step 5 — Return to My Campaigns

After ASBN has confirmed your Advertiser account and package setup, return to the Advertiser Index and select My Campaigns.

This is where you continue the advertising setup process.

----If you are unsure where to continue, go to My Campaigns first. Your campaign status, approval status, and ad connection options will appear there.---

Step 6 — Create Your Campaign

Select Create Campaign and enter the campaign information.

Your campaign connects your selected package to the ad you want to display.

Creating a campaign does not automatically publish your ad. Campaigns are reviewed by ASBN before the ad is placed on the website.

After creating your campaign, check your email for approval notices or return to My Campaigns to view the campaign status.

Step 7 — Upload Your Ad

Once your campaign is available, upload your ad.

Your ad image must match the required package size exactly.

Examples:

• Large Sidebar Ad: 300 × 600 px

• Medium Sidebar Ad: 300 × 250 px

• Top Banner Ad: 728 × 90 px

Ads submitted at the wrong size may not be accepted by the system.

When uploading your ad, include the destination link where visitors should go when they click the ad.

Once submitted, ASBN will review the ad before it is published.

Keeping It Simple

ASBN advertising is not built around complicated mass advertising.

The goal is to help suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, and industry partners appear in the right places, in front of the right automotive aftermarket audience.

Your ad should be clear, professional, and useful to visitors to that section of the site.

Next: Review and Approval

Every campaign and ad is reviewed before publication.

ASBN may decline or request changes to ads that do not meet the site’s professional, technical, or placement standards.

ASBN does not publish ads that rely on outside ad networks, automated ad feeds, or third-party advertising systems such as Google Ads.

Need Help?

If you are unsure which package, campaign, or zone to select, contact ASBN before submitting your ad.
