About NATA

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) is the professional membership association for certified athletic trainers and others who support the athletic training profession. Founded in 1950, the NATA has grown to more than 40,000 members worldwide today. The majority of certified athletic trainers choose to be members of NATA to support their profession and to receive a broad array of membership benefits. By joining forces as a group, NATA members can accomplish more for the athletic training profession than they can individually. The NATA national office currently has more than 40 full-time staff members who work to support NATA’s mission.

NATA News is the premier magazine for athletic trainers. As a monthly membership magazine read by approximately 40,000 ATs across the country, we are the only monthly magazine dedicated exclusively to the athletic training profession.

Retargeting Campaign

Retargeting campaigns allow you to deliver your banner or video ads to NATA.org visitors after they have left the website, as they are surfing their favorite news, entertainment, lifestyle, and business sites. When your banners or videos are placed in our retargeting program, your ads “follow” our visitors while they perform Google searches and visit other partner websites within Google’s expansive Search and Display Networks. Google Search is the gold standard of internet search engines. The Google Display Network reaches 90% of internet users worldwide and includes more than 2 million publishers, including websites like nytimes.com and weather.com and Google-owned websites like Gmail, Blogger, and YouTube and more.

Retargeting is a cookie-based technology that uses a simple Javascript code to target your audience across the web and on social media, allowing your ads to be served to qualified users that have visited the NATA website: nata.org

You provide your campaign budget and your ads will run until contracted impressions are met on nata.org. Submitting all materials as recommended will provide the highest placement rate and allow the system to best optimize your ad campaign for performance. Keep the message simple and the text as large and easy-to-read as possible.

Digital Ad Best Practices

Establish a successful hierarchy by include these three essential elements in display ads:

  1. Value Proposition calls attention to the product or service and can include featured highlights, a special offer or pricing
  2. Call-to-Action (CTA) serves as an invitation for the user to click and should be attention grabbing
  3. Logo is essential to include in order to build brand awareness but should not be the focal point.

Additional recommendations:

  • Use high quality assets within your ads. Images must be recognizable and relevant.
  • Don’t use too many words: Your ad may only get a moment of the reader’s attention.
  • Text must be legible. We recommend using sans-serif fonts, like Arial or Roboto, and keeping font sizes to 10 point or above.
  • Use the RGB color mode when designing.
  • Image resolution should be 72 DPI or higher.
  • Keep branding consistent. Landing pages should have the same branding as the banner ad.
  • Use a URL tracking service such as Bitly or ClickMeter to generate a URL for your campaign that allows you to track clicks in real time.
