<p>I thought it would be useful to think through a series of banner ads geared to the 90% of users and all anonymous visitors on d.o.</p>
<p>This list needs to be built on, but wanted to get a thread going. I had mentioned it in <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupalorg/-/work_items/2185511" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupalorg/-/work_items/2185511</a></span> and also on a call earlier today with Holly from the Drupal Association. </p>
<p>I think this should largely take the form of motivational styled text. Graphics should be minimized, but they should be possible. </p>
<p>They can be notes to encourage people to sign up & join Drupal. About the strengths of participating in this community, or highlighting roles that need to be filled.</p>
<p>Just like the<a href="https://association.drupal.org/node/18708"> Social Media Request form</a> there should be a means to highlight requests from the community. </p>
<p>It might be that we want to have some ads geared to the 1% & 9% of users, but let's not worry about that yet. Let's start with the folks who aren't already in the choir.</p>
<p>If we know that an anonymous user is coming from say France, why not have the message in French? Let's start using some geolocation stuff to encourage non-English speaking folks to be involved more (even if this is an English dominant location).</p>
<p>These should be randomly generated and there should be enough of them that people don't feel annoyed and look forward to these as a way to help them learn more about the community. </p>
<p>Ideas for Ads.</p>

<p>I also expect to see ads for upcoming DrupalCons. If we're already doing geo lookups, then it would be brilliant to link that into upcoming Camps. </p>
<p>It would be great to have information highlighting new changes that are anticipated on d.o. </p>
<p>Let's start selling the features of Drupal 8! Just nice little bullet points to remind folks regularly what we're building and what they can start looking forward to in D8.</p>
<p>If there are sites we're proud of that are using Drupal, let's feature them. Did you know that the Grammy's were delivered with Drupal?</p>
<p>Why not pop-up and alert folks just before the <a href="https://drupal.org/core-office-hours">core mentoring hours</a>.</p>
<p>When the community spotlight is active again, it would be great to regularly advertise people in the <a href="https://drupal.org/community-spotlight">community spotlight</a>.</p>
<p>We could congratulate modules that have their first 1000 sites using it or that finally get that co-maintainer they have been asking about. There are lots of little victories that we could be celebrating. I do think that doing this would both make us feel better about Drupal and give us yet one more reason to talk about it. </p>
