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:
“...we shall never be the people we should and might be until we have learned that it is the first and most important business of a nation to protect its women, not by any puling sentimentality of queenship, chivalry or angelhood, but by making it possible for them to earn an honest living.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
