Effective Online Advertising:

Online Advertising OptionsKnowing what is right for you!

Why Use FCC Network?

Our network delivery offers the ability to brand, stay top of mind, grow customer base, drive traffic to your website and reach affluent, educated readers with buying power.

Network Buy Comprehensive, multiproduct campaigns that deliver results.

Retargeting An effective way for reaching people outside the FCC Network who are searching for and reading about a specific product or service. We can serve ads repeatedly to them and follow them with ads after they have visited a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Audience Extension: Allows advertisers to reach their audience on websites outside of our network.

Audience Segmentation A process of dividing people into groups based on defined criteria such as product usage, demographics, psychographics, communication behaviors and media use.

Native Advertising???

Creative and Compelling Each campaign must be creative and compelling to capture the attenattention of the reader, viewer or listener.

Viewers only allow a few seconds before they determine if they will engage in the promotionpromotional message. Only well-designed campaigns have a chance of being reviewed in detail.

Clear Message Most businesses have a strategy regarding how they want to posiposition themselves in the market. For example, they may want to position themselves as a business that maintains superior quality. The advertising message should relate to their positioning strategy.

Each campaign should: Attract Attention Create Desire Invoke Action Creative Ads Include: A big, bold headline One dominant art element All necessary information (but not everything AND the kitchen sink)

Rich Media?

Our Digital Network now spans the entire FCC Network and beyond!

Online

Video:

YouTube is the #3 website in the world after Google and Facebook. With our new rich media advertising options we can incorporate video into a variety of ad sizes: • Large leaderboard (960x200) • Leaderboard (728x90) • Double-wide skyscraper (300x600) • Medium Rectangle (300x250) • Sliding Billboard - NEW (980x330)

YouTube is the #3 website in the world.

PreRoll:

We often sell out of our video pre-roll impressions on the network, because video impressions are in such high demand.

Facebook Ad exchange (FBX) on retargeting campaigns:

Serving Facebook ads through retargeting campaigns: We are able to utilize all of our standard targeting methodologies across our FBX inventory, making it one more place where you can reach users who have already shown intent towards your advertisers through either the sites they’ve visited or the terms they’ve searched on.

Integrating FBX across your campaigns is a way to increase the odds of seeing your ads in the wild, if that is one of your concerns.

Those users that click on FBX ads tend to be more engaged when they get to the advertisers site, this is evidenced by the conversion rates we’ve seen from FBX ads which is higher than any other exchange we work with.

Users that click from FBX ads tend to be more engaged.

Advertising rates may be revised from time to time. Advertis-

ers under contract will be given 30 days notice.

Advertising deadlines are set well in advance of publication to ensure an excellent product for the advertiser. Proofs for the purpose of correcting errors in production will be e-mailed or faxed to the advertiser. Proof of ads 40 column inches in size or more will be faxed or taken to advertisers on request. Once a proof is submitted to the advertiser, the advertiser takes responsibility for errors not marked on the proof.

Specs For Sending Ads Our preferred ad delivery format is PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4 Standard).

• Due to the nature of the newsprint printing process rich black or black made up of CMYK should not be used.

• Type that is overprinted should be no smaller than 5pt, type that is knocking out of more than one color should be no smaller than 8pt.

• When using type at the minimum sizes take into account the fonts you are using as some script and thin bodied type may still be too thin at these sizes.

• Do not use ICC or embedded color profiling as there could be a potential color shift from what you see on your screen versus what you will see on the final piece. This is due to the fact that your profiles may not match our profiles during final output causing the colors to shift to try to match our profiles.

• All fonts must be embedded.

• OPI cannot be used.

• Any images used in your original document should be at a minimum resolution of 200 dpi.

• All PDF’s created from software that supports layers and live transparencies (i.e.

Adobe CS Suite, Quark, etc.) must have all layers and live transparencies flattened within the final PDF delivered to us. If this is not done we can not guarantee your transparency settings will match ours during the digital work flow. This could potentially create undesired effects in the final output of your ad.

• PDFwriter is not acceptable for creating a PDF for print production. At our discretion we may occasionally choose to work with PDF’s created from Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, or other office applications as best we can, but can not guarantee final output.

They are designed for Desktop Publishing not Print Production and typically are missing important capabilities for producing CMYK color, correct font embedding, etc.

• We also will accept native files which must include all supporting fonts and graphics. Please call ahead to be sure we have compatible versions of software to open and work with the files.

• Any copy not sent as a digital file will be converted digitally (scanned) and will probably suffer a loss of quality in the conversion.

• If you have concerns or questions regarding any of the above please feel free to call.

A subset of your Marketing Plan, Ad Strategy is identifying the different ad options you have and how you can use them effectively.

Audience

An Audience is a way to separate your consumer base into different categories that you can identify, target and track.

Audience is important to identify when planning your marketing and evaluating your marketing’s effectiveness.

Behavioral Targeting

By tracking an individual’s activity online, search engines and other programs are able to assign particular behaviors, that when displayed, trigger ad delivery that is relevant to that individual based on those actions.

Blitz

A Blitz is a short marketing campaign that is focused on accomplishing, or promoting, a particular product or event.

For example: if you have a sale coming, you may consider a blitz to create top of mind awareness for potential customers.

Brand, Branding

Your Brand is what consumers identify you as. Your Brand is a vital part of any marketing that you do and care should be taken to maintain your Brand integrity.

Budget

Refers to not only your dollar investment, but also your time. While some time can

be offset by increasing dollars (outsourcing ad design for example) time should certainly be considered.

Bundle

Bundling is simply packaging multiple types of marketing into one campaign or strategy using the same message. Bundling your print and online is a standard option that ensures you are maximizing your reach.

Campaign

A Campaign is a planned marketing ef effort that includes a predetermined goal, measurable progress, and clear messages. The campaign itself should have fairly clear start and end parameters to ensure that the measurable tracking is accurate.

Circulation

In print circulation, or reach of the subscribed users, is usually separated into weekday and weekend categories. For weekly newspapers there is just the one category.

CPM (Cost per Mille)

Cost per Mille, or Cost per Thousand, is used to calculate the cost of impressions. Basically, for every 1,000 times your ad is shown (impressions) it will cost you a set amount. For example: if a certain online ad size has a CPM of $10, it will cost you $10 for every 1,000 times your ad is shown.

Demographic

Similar to Audience, Demographics refer to the specific identifiers that make up an audience. Examples of some demographics: gender, age range, income level, family, etc.

Fragmentation

This occurs when traits of your audience change and cause new groups, or subgroups, to be formed. It is important to keep track of fragmentation in order to maintain your marketing’s effectiveness.

Goals

In print advertising the size of an ad is determined by its column inches. A column inch is the width of one column and one inch in height.

Your marketing plan needs to have well defined, realistic goals. If you don’t have these it will be difficult to measure the actual effectiveness of any marketing you do. For example: I want to drive traf traffic vs. I want to increase unique users by 5%.

CPC (Cost per Click)

Impressions

Column Inch

This is a comparison you can use to determine the value (subjective) of each click your ad receives- for example: if you have 10 clicks and it cost you $100 then your CPC is $10. See also PPC

An Impression refers to each time an ad is displayed. For example: if you had 100 impressions, that means your ad was shown 100 times.

Glossary

PCI (Per Column Inch)

The price you pay per column inch. A column inch is equal to the actual size of the particular publication column by 1 actual inch. See the specific publication for actual measurements.

PPC (Pay per Click)

An ad model where instead of paying for a guaranteed number of impressions, you instead bid on each available impression and then are billed based on that.

ROP (Run of Press)

Run of Press simply means that a print ad can be placed anyplace that is convenient for the printer.

ROS (Run of Site)

Run of Site is similar to ROP except it refers to online advertising. Run of Site simply means the ad runs in rotation in a certain size across the entire website.

Social Media

Social Media is made up of any series of networks that consumers use to interact with each other. Social Media is a way that business can interact with their customers to create more personal interaction.

SOV (Share of Voice)

Share of Voice guarantees the frequency of your ad compared to other ads in that same category, either by size of ad,

or section. An SOV campaign emphasizes the overall percentage of views rather than a set number of impressions.

For example: an SOV campaign would be a purchase of 50% of total estimated impressions; whereas a CPM campaign would be based more on budget and available impressions.

Unique User

Unique User refers to the number of different devices that have accessed a website. Typically identified by IP address, unique user information is useful for identifying audiences and device access.

Target Marketing

Identifying unique audiences and marketing to them directly is called Target Marketing. This is an ideal way of marketing, as it will help reach existing, new and potential customers. Target marketing can be accomplished in a number of ways, from audience knowledge to specialized programs that can assist you in identifying your audiences.

TOM (Top of Mind Awareness)

Top of Mind refers to the idea that your brand/product/company is the first thing a potential customer thinks of when they have a relevant need. For example: TOM is accomplished when someone remembers your ad for financial planning as they are thinking, or speaking with others about retirement plans.

Tracking

Throughout your marketing campaign you need to establish progress by tracking your results. To do this effectively, your tracking methods need to have easily defined, objective goals that you can quantify.
