LOCAL SALES CONSULTANCY PROGRAMS
WorldNow's Local Ad Sales programs are empowering local television broadcasters to create online advertising solutions and convergence marketing programs that drive long term client success. Many of the stations we work with are now realizing from 5 to 10% of their local revenue from online sales efforts - the majority of it coming from new-to-TV clients made possible by the Internet and other new media platforms.
SALES STRATEGY
The core philosophy behind WorldNow's Sales Consulting focuses on:
Generating 'new-to-TV' business
Combining the Internet and television is the most effective way to generate new business from advertisers not currently using TV.
Expanding the value of your on-air inventory
WorldNow has demonstrated the unprecedented ability to leverage $1 of television time into a $2 package, providing a 100% premium over the full retail value of your inventory.
Focusing on empowerment
Our goal is to give stations the tools and confidence to fully integrate convergence marketing into their sales departments.
SALES SERVICE
Dedicated Sales Support
WorldNow's Regional Sales Director (RSD) team is comprised of a veteran group of sales professionals with extensive experience in local television sales and management.
Plan
Your RSD will work with sales management at each affiliate to identify local sales projects, target local business categories, develop pricing and packaging, facilitate integration into the sales department, create client collateral and assist with appointment setting.
Sell
Your RSD will make sales trips to each market during the term of the agreement in support of online sponsorship sales. The primary purpose of these station visits is to build momentum by going on sales calls, making presentations and closing new business.
Execute
WorldNow provides dedicated resources that will be responsible for developing, implementing and servicing your online advertising campaigns. The creative service producers are responsible for gathering assets from advertisers, templating and producing online campaigns, reviewing and helping script on-air spots, tracking campaign results, updating online ad packages, and maintaining online sponsorships throughout the life of the campaigns. This allows your sales teams to focus on what they do best, selling.
Some examples of local sales initiatives are Health, Legal, Home and Senior Living.
