e-Newsletter April, 2008
Dear Friend:

IHave you explored our Ad Buys dynamic website yet? We created it because there is an on-going need to provide the media buying community with up-to-date information about last minute magazine available space.

These are challenging times and the pressures you and your colleagues face every day continue to build. What has been a bright, steady path to marketing success (someone buying your product) has turned into a dark forest of twists and turns.

Many brand and promotion managers are quick to turn to the latest technology to create a new “fix” and demonstrate short term ROI. We suggest that putting too much focus on any one media is a sure way to promote unfavorable results.

Technology that delivers your message is an enabler. Technology is not the solution. We help our clients understand the mix of media opportunities beginning with the most proven delivery for Direct Response Marketing – MAGAZINES.

If your goal is to sell more of your products or services or introduce a new one, you have to get your message to the right audience. Begin with a long-term view. Nine times out of ten, something in the plan did not work as anticipated and the expected results were not met. That’s when you need a COURSE CORRECTION and that’s when Ad Buys can help you.

Course corrections involve:

  1. Discovering a new target group that shows potential but was not part of your initial plan.
  2. Responding to survey or focus group feedback that indicates the need for a different copy strategy or that the offer was not strong enough.
  3. Not meeting early sales goals.
  4. Correcting a product or survey issue.
  5. Reacting to a competitive shift in strategy.
Reacting to a competitive shift in strategy.
Once identified, making a course correction should be implemented as quickly as possible to create a POSITIVE SHIFT IN MOMENTUM. Ad Buys has a diverse inventory of magazine space at exceptional discounted prices. Our website shows a sampling of what is available for immediate buys. We know the importance of having access to these buys. The savings are substantial and will significantly help improve the ROI of every campaign.

Put Ad Buys and our experienced team to work for you this month on your next campaign. We source and sell discounted advertising space in print media, have a wealth of knowledge in crafting Direct Response strategies and can bring additional resources to support your TOTAL needs at costs that will make your CFO smile.
