The Crimson Board is an online-only, environmentally friendly poster board that serves the same function as the physical poster boards and kiosks you see around campus. Unlike the physical advertising spaces, the Crimson Board is cheaper for advertisers and much better for the environment. The Crimson Board is equipped with the latest technologies: an RSS feed, the ability to quickly and easily view the Crimson Board on your Google or Yahoo! homepage, and the ability to share the Crimson Board with your friends on Facebook.

If you are a student, be sure to visit the Crimson Board often (advertisements are rotated daily!). You can also add the RSS feed to your favorite program or website (like Google, or Yahoo!). If you like the Crimson Board, be sure to share it with your friends on Facebook. Crimson Board advertisements are almost always interactive. Click on them for specials and great deals or simply for more information.

If you are an advertiser, please click on "Advertise on the Crimson Board" at the bottom of the main page. This will direct you to our advertisement ordering page, where you can view our rates and determine space and date availability. Please be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Ads are rotated each day at noon. We strongly recommend that your ad feature a special deal or coupon.

If you are an advertiser, rest assured that hundreds (maybe even thousands) of students are going to see your advertisement each day. On a slow Friday (or Tuesday) night, students flock to the Crimson Board to find things to do in Cambridge, Boston, and beyond. Students love deals and coupons, so advertising with these is a great way to grab attention. When students arrive on campus each academic year or for summer school, we personally invite each one to use the Crimson Board. The way students get information is changing, and the Crimson Board targets college students specifically.

Yes! For only $25, we will design an attractive ad for the Crimson Board for your business. Once you have completed your online advertising order, send an e-mail with sketches, existing logos, and any specifications to distribution@hsa.net. If you do not have access to a scanner, you can bring your materials to our offices on the second floor of 67 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge.

We want to make sure that the Crimson Board stays dynamic so that students have a reason to return every day. If you would like to advertisement for more than two days at a time, simply reorder.
