Magazine rates

Magazines and newspapers often give discounts. frequency discounts are based on the number of ad insertions, usually within a year; volume discounts are based on the total amount of space bought during a specific period. Most magazines also offer cash discounts (usually 2 percent) to advertisers who pay right away, and some offer discounts on the purchase of four or more consecutive pages in a single issue. In fact, many magazine publishers now negotiate their rates. According to Harold Shain, former Newsweek Inc. president, "Every piece of business is negotiated."13 Premium Rates Magazines charge extra for special features. Color printing normally costs 25 to 60 percent more than black and white. Bleed pages can add as much as 20 percent to regular rates, although the typical increase is about 15 percent. Second and third cover rates (the inside covers) typically cost less than the fourth (back) cover. For example, in 2016, People magazine charged $324,400 for a normal color page and $446,500 and $393,000 for the second and third covers, respectively, but it charged $482,000 for the fourth cover (the back of the magazine).14

click rates

A second measurement, unique to the Internet, is the click rate or click-through rate (CTR). A click occurs when a visitor moves the mouse's pointer to a web link and clicks on the mouse button to get to another page. The click rate is the number of clicks on an ad divided by the number of ad impressions. In essence, marketers are measuring the frequency with which users try to obtain additional information about a product by clicking on an advertisement. Advertisers love CTR as a benchmark of ad effectiveness because it reflects a behavior. Charging for clicks is the key to Google's amazing success with search.

Pricing methods for digital advertising

Advertising space on the Internet can be purchased in several different ways, as we will discuss later in the chapter. The most common means is the banner ad, typically billed on a cost-per-thousand basis determined by the number of ads displayed. On most web pages, the base banner rate pays for exposure on a rotating display that randomly selects which ads to show. Another augmentation to the general banner purchase is the keyword purchase, available on major search engines. Advertisers may buy specific keywords that bring up their ads when a user's search request contains these words. Keywords may be purchased individually or in packages that factor in the information categories and subcategories of a search engine site. Some publishers will charge their clients according to click-throughs—that is, when a user actually clicks on a banner ad Page 303to visit the advertiser's landing page. Although the CPM cost for simple impressions is considerably lower, this method is still unpopular with publishers. For advertisers involved in e-commerce, some publishers offer an affiliate marketing program whereby they charge a percentage of the transaction cost. For example, a site devoted to music reviews may have a banner link to an online music retailer. When consumers buy music from the retailer, the site publisher receives a percentage of the sale

Advantages of Digital Interactive (as an advertising medium)

Allows for greater *interactivity* between company and its stakeholders

Types of tv advertising

An advertiser who underwrites the cost of a program is engaging in sponsorship. In a sole sponsorship, the advertiser is responsible for both the program content and the total cost of production. Sponsorship is so costly that single sponsorships are usually limited to specials. Companies that sponsor programs (AT&T, Xerox, and Hallmark, for example) gain two important advantages. First, the public more readily identifies with the product(s) due to the prestige of sponsoring first-rate entertainment. Second, the sponsor controls the placement and content of its commercials. The commercials can be fit to the program and run any length the sponsor desires so long as they remain within network or station regulations. Most network TV advertising is sold on a participation basis, with several advertisers buying 30- or 60-second segments within a program. This enables them to spread their budgets and avoid long-term commitments to any one program. It also lets smaller advertisers buy a limited amount of time and still get the nationwide coverage they need. Network advertising also has several disadvantages: lack of flexibility, long lead times, inconvenient restrictions, and forced adherence to network standards and practices, not to mention high prices. Costs can run high for a spot Spot announcements run in clusters between programs. They are less expensive and more flexible than network advertising because they can be concentrated in specific regions of the country. Therefore, local Page 275businesses are frequently seen on spot schedules. An advertiser with a small budget or limited distribution may use spots to introduce a new product into one area at a time.

Methods for Scheduling Media

In a continuous schedule, advertising runs steadily and varies little over the campaign period. It's the best way to build continuity. Advertisers use this scheduling pattern for products consumers purchase regularly. Flighting alternates periods of advertising with periods of no advertising. This intermittent schedule makes sense for products and services that experience large fluctuations in demand throughout the year (tax services, lawn-care products, cold remedies). The advertiser might introduce the product with a four-week flight and then schedule three additional four-week flights to run during seasonal periods later in the year. Flighting is also often used by products and services to stretch limited budgets. The third alternative, pulsing, mixes continuous and flighting strategies. The advertiser maintains a low level of advertising all year but uses periodic pulses to heavy up during peak selling periods. This strategy is appropriate for products like soft drinks, which are consumed all year but more heavily in the summer. For high-ticket items that require careful consideration, bursting—running the same commercial every half-hour on the same network during prime time—can be effective. A variation is roadblocking, buying airtime on all three networks simultaneously. Chrysler used this technique to give viewers the impression that the advertiser was everywhere, even if the ad showed for only a few nights. Digital Equipment used a scheduling tactic called blinking to stretch its slim ad budget. To reach business executives, it flooded the airwaves on Sundays (on both cable and network TV channels) to make it virtually impossible to miss the ads

-Pros/Cons of Magazines

Magazines continue to offer a wide variety of benefits to advertisers, including flexible design options, prestige, authority, believability, and long shelf life. Magazines may sit on a coffee table for months and be reread many times. Consumers can read a magazine ad at their leisure; they can pore over the details of a photograph; and they can study carefully the information presented in the copy. This makes it an ideal medium for high-involvement think and feel products. However, like every medium, magazines also have a number of drawbacks (see My Ad Campaign 10-A, "The Pros and Cons of Magazine Advertising"). They are expensive (on a cost-per-reader basis), especially for color ads. And since they typically come out only monthly, or weekly at best, it's difficult to reach a large audience quickly or frequently. For these reasons, many advertisers use magazines in combination with other media—such as newspapers, which we'll discuss later in this chapter.

search, adword, adsense

Most people looking to find information on the Web use a search engine. Search engines are websites that allow people to type a word or phrase into a text box and quickly receive a listing of information on a search-results page adword- Do a search on Google and you will notice that search results are not the first thing you encounter on the results page. The first listings are in a light-blue shaded area that is described as "Sponsored Links." These sponsored links are not search results, but paid listings. adsense- Google's other major ad program is AdSense. Websites that use AdSense set aside a portion of pages for Google text ads. The ads themselves are selected by Google software and inserted automatically, without any input from the sponsoring site. The revenue model for the AdSense program is very similar to AdWords. Advertisers pay Google only when Web users click the link and visit the sponsor sites. In this case, the owner of the site also gets revenue. For popular websites this can generate a great deal of revenue, and it is thus a powerful incentive for site owners to participate in the Google program.

Pros/Cons of Newspapers

Newspapers offer advertisers many advantages. One of the most important is timeliness; an ad can appear very quickly, sometimes in just one day. Newspapers also offer geographic targeting, a broad range of markets, reasonable cost, and more. But newspapers suffer from lack of selectivity, poor production quality, and clutter. And readers criticize them for lack of depth and follow-up on important issues.

Offer advertising space at contract rates

Primary vs secondary readership for magazines

Primary circulation represents the number of people who buy the publication, either by subscription or at the newsstand. Secondary (or pass-along)readership, which is an estimate determined by market research of how many people read a single issue of a publication, is very important to magazines. Some have more than six readers per copy. Multiplying the average pass-along readership by, say, a million subscribers can give a magazine a substantial audience beyond its primary readers.

first-run syndication

Programs produced specifically for the syndication market.

Loyalty Program

Programs that reward customers with discounts and free products in return for frequent and continuous patronage. Consumer purchases are tracked on a company's database

The increase in the 'money-rich' and 'time-poor' families in America has led to the increased use of direct marketing tools.

TRUE

Video alternatives to TV commercials

TV product placements occur when advertisers showcase their brands within television programming rather than commercials. Most people who've watched the popular show American Idol can't help but notice the prominent Coke cups placed in front of the Page 277judges. An entire episode of the ABC comedy Modern Family revolved around the Apple iPad. While these are some of the most obvious examples of product placements, advertisers such as Reynolds (Top Chef), Ford Fusion (New Girl), and Hyundai Tuscon (Walking Dead) have invested heavily in product placements. Viewers may not even be aware just how frequently product placements appear on television.

Types of television media

Television networks and stations are available to advertisers in four principal forms: broadcast, cable, digital, and satelite. Broadcast networks can reach audiences by transmitting electromagnetic waves through the air across some geographic territory. Cable networks reach audiences exclusively through cable or satellite systems. Digital formats, such as Hulu and CBS All Access, afford consumers the opportunity to watch shows on demand.

Ad impressions

The IAB originally defined an ad impression as "an opportunity to deliver an advertising element to a Web site visitor." When a user loads a web page with ads on it, the browser will pull the advertisement from its host ad server and bring it up as a banner, button, or interstitial. The number of ad requests received can then be translated into the familiar cost form. The problem with this definition, from the point of view of advertisers and agencies, is that the advertiser is not guaranteed that a user will ever see an ad.

Google and Internet Search

The Internet is a global network of computers that communicate with one another through protocols, which are common rules for linking and sharing information. Most people looking to find information on the Web use a search engine. Search engines are sites that allow people to type a word or phrase into a text box and then quickly find information. Brin and Page's company, Google, is at present the most popular destination on the Web, reaching an astonishing 40 percent of all Web users each day.5 Search advertising revenues generate billions in revenue for Google, and in fact, represent the single largest category of ad expenditures in digital interactive media.

Sponsorship

off-network syndication

The availability of programs that originally appeared on networks to individual stations for rebroadcast.

Audience size and message weight (advertising impression, pass-along rate, gross impressions)

The basic way to express audience size is simply to count the number of people in a vehicle's audience. This is what media research firms like Nielsen do for broadcast media, typically using a statistical sample to project the total audience size. For print media, firms like the Audit Bureau of Circulations verify a vehicle's subscribers and newstand sales (the circulation) and then multiply by the estimated number of readers per copy (RPC) to determine the total audience. RPC takes into account the pass-along rate, the number of people who read a magazine or newspaper without actually buying it. For example, most households subscribe to a single issue of a newspaper, even though multiple family members read it. Media planners often define media objectives by the schedule's message weight, the total size of the audience for a set of ads or an entire campaign, because it gives some indication of the exposure of the campaign in a given market. There are two ways to express message weight: gross impressions and gross rating points. If planners know the audience size, they can easily calculate the number of advertising impressions in a media schedule. An advertising impression is a possibleexposure of the advertising message to one audience member. It is sometimes referred to as an opportunity to see (OTS). Why? Because when a newspaper or magazine is delivered or bought, that counts as an impression. It cannot be determined whether the individuals who received those vehicles actually saw any particular ad. By multiplying a vehicle's total audience size by the number of times an advertising message is delivered during the period, planners arrive at the gross impressions, or potential exposures, possible in that vehicle. Then, by summing the gross impressions for each medium used, they know the total gross impressions for the schedule

BDI

The brand development index (BDI) indicates the sales strength of a particular brand in a specific market area. It compares the percentage of the brand's total U.S. sales in an area to the percentage of the total U.S. population in that area. The larger the brand's sales relative to the area's percentage of U.S. population, the higher the BDI and the greater the brand's sales development.

Audience measurements

The companies that measure the program audiences of TV and radio stations for advertisers and broadcasters are called rating services. These firms pick a representative sample of the market and furnish data on the number and characteristics of the viewers or listeners. Companies subscribe to a service and use it as a basis for planning, buying, or selling media advertising. At the local level, Nielsen surveys 1.6 million households. Household members record their viewing habits in diaries. Four times each year, during the sweepsmonth-long rating periods, Nielsen collects and processes the data. This information is used by networks and local stations to determine how much they can charge for advertising on their shows. Television rating services define unique geographic television markets to minimize the confusion of overlapping TV signals. The Nielsen station index uses the term designated market areas (DMAs) for geographic areas (cities, counties) in which the local TV stations attract the most viewing.

designated market areas (DMAs)

The geographic areas from which TV stations attract most of their viewers.

third-party servers

Third-party ad servers deliver ads from one central source, or server, across multiple Web domains, allowing advertisers the ability to manage the rotation and distribution of their advertisements. The best-known companies are DoubleClick, owned by Google, and Atlas DMT, owned by Microsoft. These companies allow advertisers to monitor the performance of their buys on a daily basis all the way down to conversion or sales. By placing a line of code on the last page of the sales process, DoubleClick can match the user back to the last advertisement they saw, via the cookies placed on the user's computer, and credit that advertisement with the sale. This allows the agency to understand Internet metrics from advertising to sales in near real time. This hyper-accountability is what ultimately brought the online ad industry out of the dot-com crash of the early 2000s—marketers could evaluate their Web spending's impact on the company's bottom line.

Mobile Advertising

The iPhone has increased data plan usage, or non-voice-related consumption over the carriers' networks. iPhone users are heavy users of video and mobile TV.8 People use their phones to download applications and games, surf the Web, and send multimedia messages. The appeal for advertisers is that the phone is the only truly portable and personally identifiable medium. And unlike most other media, when consumers view an ad on their phone that they like, they can buy right away. Large numbers of people already shop on the phone now. The other form of advertising and the one that represents the largest inventory is sponsored SMS (short message service). One benefit to marketers who generate these ads is that the end user need not own a smartphone. Almost any mobile device can receive texts. Companies like 4INFO, in the United States, offer news, horoscopes, and sports scores, among other things, for free to users via SMS, and advertisers sponsor these messages. The carriers have set up very strict guidelines in the use of SMS and act as a gatekeeper for all messages that go over their networks in an effort to reduce SMS spam. A smartphone user can respond to an SMS ad, via a link, at a mobile web page.

Social Media

The importance of social media can be seen by the fact that Facebook is beginning to challenge Google as the most popular destination on the Web. But what is social media? OnlineMatters defines social media as "any form of online publication or presence that allows end users to engage in multi-directional conversations in or around the content on the website.

program rating

The percentage of TV households in an area that are tuned into a specific program.

Households using TV (HUT)

The percentage of homes in a given area that have one or more TV sets turned on at any particular time is expressed as households using TV (HUT). If there are 1,000 TV sets in the survey area and 500 are turned on, HUT is 50 percent (500/1,000

households using TV (HUT)

The percentage of homes in a given area that have one or more TV sets turned on at any particular time. If 1,000 TV sets are in the survey and 500 are turned on, the HUT figure is 50 percent.

audience share

The percentage of homes with TV sets in use (HUT) tuned to a specific program.

The number of people who watched all or part of a science fiction movie that ran from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. was 20,000. An estimated 40,000 televisions were on at that hour even though there are 200,000 households with sets in the area. Which of the following statements accurately describes this situation?

The program rating equals 20,000/200,000.

The program rating equals 20,000/200,000. To calculate the program rating, you will need both the number of sets tuned to a specific program (20,000) and the total number of households with televisions in an area (200,000). The audience share equals the number watching (20,000) by the number of turned on televisions (40,000).

Reach

The term reach refers to the total number of different people exposed, at least once, to a medium during a given period of time, usually four weeks

gross rating points (GRPs)

The total audience delivery or weight of a specific media schedule. One rating point equals 1 percent of a particular market's population.

CDI

To determine the strength of the whole product category, media planners use the category development index (CDI), which works on the same principle as the BDI and is calculated in much the same way. The combination of BDI and CDI can help the planner determine a media strategy for the market (see Exhibit 14-10). In our example, a low BDI (under 100) and a high CDI (over 100) in Los Angeles indicate that the product category offers great potential but the brand is not selling well (low market share). This may represent a problem or an opportunity. If the brand has been on the market for some time, the low BDI raises a red flag; some problem is standing in the way of brand sales. But if the brand is new, the low BDI may be a positive sign. The high CDI may indicate the brand can grow substantially, given more time and greater media and marketing support. At this point, the media planner should assess the company's share of voice (discussed in Chapter 7) and budget accordingly

Frequency(Average Frequency)

To express the number of times the same person or household has an opportunity to see a message—a radio spot, for example—in a specified time span, media people use the term frequency. Whereas reach measures the breadth, frequency measures the intensity of a media schedule, based on repeated exposures to the vehicle or the program. Frequency is important because repetition is the key to learning and memory. Frequency is calculated as the average number of times individuals or homes are exposed to the vehicle during a specific period of time. For instance, suppose in our hypothetical 100,000-person market that 20,000 people tune in to WKKO and have three OTSs during a four-week period, and another 20,000 have five OTSs.

Types of Newspaper Advertising

Type of newspaper advertising that includes copy, illustrations or photographs, headlines, coupons, and other visual components. display advertising includes copy, illustrations or photos, headlines, coupons, and other visual components—such as the ads for theVillage Voicediscussed earlier. Display ads vary in size and appear in all sections of the newspaper except the first page of major sections, the editorial page, the obituary page, and the classified advertising section. Classified ads provide a community marketplace for goods, services, and opportunities of every type, from real estate and new-car sales to employment and business opportunities. For a nominal fee, newspapers carry legal public notices of changes in business and personal relationships, public governmental reports, notices by private citizens and organizations, and financial reports. These ads follow a preset format. Like magazines, newspapers carry preprinted inserts. The advertiser prints the inserts and delivers them to the newspaper plant for insertion into a specific edition. Insert sizes range from a typical newspaper page to a double postcard; formats include catalogs, brochures, mail-back devices, and perforated coupons.

Cost per point (CPP)

cost divided by rating By calculating CPP, the media buyer can compare the cost of a rating point (reaching 1 percent of TVHH) from one program or network to another. That's good information for beginning negotiations. But rating points relate to the whole market. The real important figure is the cost of reaching 1,000 prospects in your target market. That's why the CPM should be calculated against the size of your target audience, not the whole market. The lower the cost per 1,000 people in your target audience, the more efficient the show is at reaching your real prospects.
