Internet AdSales FAQ’s

Q: What is Internet AdSales?

A: Internet AdSales is one of the leading digital media sales representation company in South Africa. We represent over a hundred top quality web publishers with whom we have partnered with to provide advertisers with targeted ad placements. We get results for advertisers by monitoring yields (response rates), expert advice and responsive service.

Q: Rate Card

A: We steer clear of issuing standard rate cards. We feel that due to the dynamic nature of online marketing, our recommendations continually adapt as receive statistical reports from active campaigns. Our aim is to ensure the best creatives, positions and rates are negotiated on your behalf. Therefore, for us to tailor the best recommendations, we need to know who the client is, their online/campaign objectives, timing and budget.

Q: What do I need to do for Internet Adsales to provide me with a free recommended advertising campaign?

A: It’s easy. Send an email to info@internetadsales.co.za giving us an outline of your business and the following information:

• Your campaign objectives.
• Your budget.
• Your target market (age, gender, income, geographic placement).
• The dates you would like your campaign to start and end.
• Please provide the URL that the advertising will click thru to.

We will then either meet with you or speak to you over the phone, after which we will send you a proposal outlining our recommendations. Once you have made your selection, we shall send you the booking form to fill out, sign and fax back to us.

Q: What is the cost?

Budget and target audience determines the right site/s to advertise on. Internet AdSales has researched several websites who have sufficient site visitors to warrant selling advertising space. Some of the sites generate in excess of a million page impressions per month.

Once the site or sites have been identified you will be guaranteed a set number of page impressions on which your advert will be displayed. Special ad monitoring software ensures that your site is displayed the correct number of times, e.g. If a page generates 300 000 page impressions per month your advert will appear the number of times requested. Advertising space can be purchased for any period of time providing there is inventory. A page may contain more than one advert, displayed on the page in various locations, either as a permanent position of rotated.

Cost per impression is referred to as CPM and is the traditional form of measurement.

Another method, available at a higher cost, but gaining in popularity is cost per acquisition, or CPA. The only time sites will consider this type of campaign is if the advertiser can guarantee that all sales are tracked back to the advert placed on that specific site, for example, providing a unique URL to advertise on the site with coded tracking in place following users to the final purchase transaction.

Q: How will my campaign be measured?

A: Campaigns on the Internet are measured in one of two ways, CPA (cost per acquisition) or CPM (cost per impression). CPM is the traditional method and is based on the number of times the advert is displayed. CPA looks at the number of successful transactions against the cost of the advertising.

Reporting on a CPM campaign will always include;

The number of guaranteed impressions for the period booked, the click thru’s to the advertisers URL and the Yield (the percentage which determines the success of a campaign).

Q: What traffic and creative issues will I need to supply Internet Adsales to receive a tailor-made proposal with recommended ad placements?

A:

• You’ll need to send us any rich media or flash creatives in an alternative GIF format (your creative guys should be able to do this for you in a jiffy). This is because not all of our channel sites (hyperlink to channel marketing) have Rich Media Code or Flash loaded on their sites.

• All banner actions need to be initiated by the user, for example, expanding banners will only expand if the user mouses over it and new browser windows will launch on the users prompt.

• Send us signed insertion orders at least 5 days before launch date.

Here are our creative deadlines:

These lead times are important as they give our channel websites (link to channel marketing) time to identify and deal with any creative or technical issues.
