Business Model
While treehugger.com follows a more standard advertising approach, mnn.com's model is sponsorship-oriented. Each of the site's different content categories is sponsored exclusively for a 12-month term, during which time the sponsor receives a 100 percent share of the promotional units on all pages within its respective category. Furthermore, as opposed to traditional advertising spaces, mnn.com's primary sponsor unit is composed of five video and interactive boxes that feature sponsor content that is primarily educational and informative rather than commercial. Much of this content is produced by MNN on behalf of sponsors as part of the overall sponsorship arrangement. Sponsors include:
- Aflac
- Allstate
- AT&T
- The Coca-Cola Company
- CSX
- Delta
- Diageo
- Georgia-Pacific
- Mercedes-Benz
- MillerCoors
- PGi
- SC Johnson
- Scotts Miracle-Gro
- Southern Company
- Underwriters Laboratories
- UPS
- Wal-Mart
- Zep Inc.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or model:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“One of the most important things we adults can do for young children is to model the kind of person we would like them to be.”
—Carol B. Hillman (20th century)
