Rich media


dailypress.com offers a number of rich media advertising options, including corner peel banners, sliding billboards, expandable banners, and floating ads.


Rich media ads display in unique and eye-catching ways that set them apart from other types of display advertising. Rich media ads rely on robust animation and user interaction. Because of the additional technical development of rich media ads, there is an additional fee and impression rate.
