Oxfam is encouraging online supporters to give the charity free publicity by placing banner advertisements on their Web sites. Its Web site offers five different adverts promoting Oxfam itself, its online auctions, fair trade goods, education site, and Millennium-related site.

Oxfam is encouraging online supporters to give the charity free publicity by placing banner advertisements on their Web sites. Its Web site offers five different adverts promoting Oxfam itself, its online auctions, fair trade goods, education site, and Millennium-related site.

In fact Oxfam allows supporters to place code on their site linking to Oxfam’s ads, rather than copying the graphics to supporters’ own Web sites. This gives Oxfam more control over the adverts’ distribution. In addition Oxfam asks that supporters let it know if they have added a link to the charity’s banner ads, and of course the form offers them a chance to sign up to the charity’s e-mail newsletter.
