Sidebar banners now available for Pink Ribbons, Inc.
[The image above features members of the IV League, a stage 4 cancer support group based in Austin, Texas.]
On February 3, our new documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. opens in theatres across Canada. The film deals with how breast cancer has become the poster child for cause-related marketing campaigns and the effect this has had on the disease, the search for the cure and, of course, those afflicted with the disease itself.
Over the past month we have held a few advance screenings of the film, and the reaction to date has been overwhelmingly supportive. In fact, we’ve gotten requests from some websites and bloggers for a banner they could use in their sidebars, and we were happy to oblige.
Below you will find our banner in 2 different sizes, 125 x 125 px, and 150 x 150 px. The code can be found directly below the images. Please feel free to grab one for your own website or blog. If you have any trouble with it, please leave us a comment in the comment section below.

For more information on the film, please visit our Pink Ribbons, Inc. page.
Update: Some people have mentioned in the comments that they’re having difficulties getting the banners to appear in their sidebar. I’ve tested them, and both codes seem to function. If you are still having problems, please contact me via email at j.matlin[at]nfb[dot]ca.

When will it be released in the US? I work in breast cancer and have always been suspect of all the pink….especially in October. This film desperately needs to be released here. Hope there are plans for that.

Hi Julie! I can’t seem to make either banner work. I don’t know any html but I’ve never had any trouble dropping banners into my sidebar before. Not sure if the trouble is on my end or yours…

Can you please provide a larger banner, perhaps a 300 x 300, to add to my sidebar that will surely grab attention vs a small banner that can easily be missed? Please respond via email, thank you for the work you’re doing. P.S. if you happen to be working on a “blog tour” of submitting a guest article/interview about the documentary to raise awareness about the film, I would like my site to be involved. Is there any way possible to receive a dvd in order to do a review on the site? Please contact me; I’d like to be involved/included in such a blog tour. Thank you!

Hi Lin: We’re working on that 300 x 300 banner for you. I sent you an email reply as well.

I entered the code for the 150ppi square banner in my WordPress blog, but it just showed up as “Watch in blue and no graphic. I tried editing it in “visual” mode as well as “html” and in visual, a broken graphic link shows up for the sidebar. I have tried now both the smaller and larger sidebars, and both give the same result. See for yourself at http://chocolatepaula.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/whoa-breast-cancer-is-a-booming-industry/ What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Julie said:
Hi Paula: The banner is for your sidebar, not the body of the blog. If you go to the “Appearance/Widgets” section on your dashboard and select the Text widget, you can copy and paste the code in there. Please let me know if you have any other trouble. And thanks so much for the support!

I’m also having difficulty adding to sidebar…copying code to widget, but image isn’t there…

That’s bizarre. Please ensure that when you paste the code, there are no spaces between characters. I’ll test it again on my end as well. Thanks for point it out.
