Lets say you are a realtor and are interested
in advertising in multiple locations. You want to advertise
for at least 6 months and want to target your marketing based on location.
You also want to highlight specific properties that you have listed
and will want to change those as new properties become available during
the 6 month period.
To do this with a traditional advertising source like
a magazine, you would have to create your first ad
with them, which will cost you anywhere from $100
to $500 dollars. Once that ad is completed,
which shows your picture, the realty company you work
with, your contact details and 5 listed properties
you are highlighting, it gets sent off to print and
will appear in the next months issue, because you
missed this months deadline. So now you wait
30 days and have paid another $500 dollars for a 1/4
page ad which will be seen by 25,000 people.
Once the ad runs, 2 of the listings have already been
sold, so that was a wasted effort and you have 3 new
properties you want highlighted. So you put
up another $500 for the second month with the new
properties...this continues for another 2 months and
you've spent another $1,000. By the 5th month,
you are questioning whether to do it, but you want
to grow your business, so you have feel you have no
choice and you put up another $500 (how much have
you paid each month to change your ad?). Now
in the middle of this 5th month, you decide to change
realty companies, so now that ad is invalid and you
wasted the last $500. Once again, you pay new
ad creation fees and another $500 to run your ad for
the 6th month for your new company.
To Summarize, for 6 months and to reach 150,000 potential
readers, plus the missed first month (so you did his
over 7 months), you spent approximately $4,000 and
lost out on opportunities because of out dated property
listings. Of the 150,000 potential readers,
more than 50% of the issues never got read or went
into the trash and of the 50% left, you had to compete
with 15 different realtors listed in the same magazine
(This is conservative, because there were probably
a lot more). So you probably only reached about
5,000 individuals in total for $4,000.
Now, lets look
at the same scenario using Digital Advertising with Intertise and
the Value Vision Network. First, you signed a 6 month contract
with us for up to 15,000 weekly viewers, which over the 6 month period
equals out to just over 385,700 viewers. This would have only
cost you $2,025 or roughly half of what you paid to the magazine.
In addition, over the same period, you changed your ad every time
you had new property listings and when you changed companies, which
only cost an additional few dollars on top of the initial fee to create
your ad. So in total you reached over 385,000 viewers for about
$2,080 and when your property listings changed in the middle of the
month and when you changed companies, you only lost 48 hours, versus
2-3 weeks, because we updated your ads almost immediately.
So to compare these two scenarios:
Magazine
Value
Vision Network
Cost
$4,000 (approx)
$2,080
Readers / Viewers
150,000
385,000
Cost Per Thousand
$26.67
$5.40
It's clear that you
get a lot more value with Digital Advertising just from a pure cost
perspective, but there are also other many other Value
& Benefits you get, including changing ads and locations
in 24-48 hours, your ads are FULL SCREEN
every time, not 1/8 or 1/4 or 1/2 pages, they are animated and in
full color and NEVER compete side by side with other
ads. In addition, we typically will never run more than
3 ads for the same type of business in one reel and you can
even advertise exclusively in a given location for
additional fees.
