Hibs.net strikes new sponsorship deal!
The number 1 independent Hibs website teams up with top sports art website…

Hibs.net are pleased to announce a site sponsorship deal with top sports art website SportsArtWorld.com, it's second such deal, for the remainder of the 2004/2004 season. 

In an effort to help both Hibs.net and Sportsartworld.com continue to grow and to encourage sales of Hibs and other high quality artwork, Sportsartworld.com have contributed towards the running of the site in a deal which will see their advert carried on Hibs.net's home page until the summer of 2004.  Speaking of the deal and SportsArtWorld.com's reasons for choosing Hibs.net, Peter Lugton said, "I am delighted to be part of Hibs.net, which I believe to be the No.1 Hibs website. I am sure our association will be highly rewarding for us both."

Sponsors of Hibs.net

"Father and Son, Jim and Pete Lugton, both grew up in Edinburgh and have taken their passion for Hibs a step further to create 'The Hibernian Collection'. They have very individual styles, adopting acrylic, pencil and watercolour mediums, and these are captured in the varying prints in the collection.  As well as the prints that appear for sale on www.sportsartworld.com we are always available to work on commissions of your favourite player or even your own personal favourite sporting moment."

Hibs.net editor Trevor Hannant was delighted that a sponsor had come forward at a time when the costs of running websites continues to increase while advertising revenues and other income streams stay low.  Trevor said, "We ran special deal with Peter on Hibs.net as far back as August 2000 and continued that with some advertising space in the run up to Christmas.  I was delighted when Peter contacted me with regards to sponsoring the site until the summer break, particularly with the strong family connection to Edinburgh and Hibs.  Unfortunately, despite many different people saying the same thing in different ways, a good many people still see the internet as being a 'free' resource when it isn't.  As Hibs.net continues to grow, the expense of delivering daily news and views to Hibernian fans around the world has increased to a point where it is simply not possible to manage without the help of our readers and companies like SportsArtWorld.com.  I know that fans who take the opportunity to visit the site will like what they see and I hope that our link with them will be a fruitful one for both parties for some time to come."

Anyone looking to buy any form of sports-related artwork is encouraged to have a look through what has become a much larger site since Hibs.net first linked up with them over 3 years ago.  If there's something in particular you're looking for and don't see it there, don't hesitate to contact Pete by email at pete@sportsartworld.com or call us on 07986 631 480.
