Being part of the advertiise.com network is exciting and a new shift for the advertising industry. It means that you can start selling your new or existing advertising space with us. You are officially in the advertising real estate business, and it has real value. We can help you with how to best price and place your ads on advertiise.com.

The process of deciding how much to charge for those ads can be a little overwhelming for first timers and even the most experience media seller, so we want to make sure you start off on the right foot.

Starting with the Right Price

There's no actual standard for pricing an ad. You are the Seller and you have full control over pricing. Placement, size and number of the overall ads affect the price. In order to have a great start, it's best to browse the directory and look for similar sites within your niche that are currently performing very well. You can use those as a guide for pricing your advertising space.

Know your competition

Your competition will be your best source to build a foundation for your advertising space pricing. Search for advertising space similar to yours on advertiise.com and see what your competition is offering for similar ad space. They have already set the average price and a price your potential customers are comfortable paying. However, don't sell yourself short or price your ad space so high that no one in your market will demand it or pay for it. Researching advertising space like yours can also give you an idea of the types of advertisers that may be attracted to your advertising space and what it is worth.

Plan where the Advertising will be displayed

Finding just the right space for your advertising space is crucial to the success of your ad sales now and in the long run. The advertising placement, the amount of ads you place in the same area, the types of ads you place there, and where they are located are all critical to the value of your advertising space. There are certain things that advertisers look for when choosing desirable advertising space, and a well-planned advertising allocation plan will ensure that your advertising space will stand out amongst your competition. You should also try to see things from the perspective of a potential advertiser and consider how you would like your ad presented if you were the advertiser - instead of only thinking about how you can monetize your advertising space. As long as you keep this in mind while you are thinking of ways to increase your advertising income, it can contribute to your ad-selling success.

Offer Standard Ad Sizes if You Can

The size of your ads can be any size – in fact, they can be any form or type of advertising space you wish as well. Although it is usually best to offer standard advertising sizes and standard advertising space formats. (You can see some of the more popular standard sizes and formats listed on advertiise.com.) This is because many advertisers already have ads created for the standard sizes, and they may be more likely to purchase an ad that they already have ads prepared for. This is also standardized by advertising agencies and media buyers in the industry.

Too many Ads? Not enough Ads? Find the Happy Medium

Displaying too many ads can deter an advertiser from seeing any value in your advertising space. There are many examples for venues or events or websites or magazines which have so many ads that it becomes a turn-off and a distraction that can easily become ignored. This might work for a little while, but it may not work well in the long run – ultimately decreasing the value of your advertising space and hurt your long-term ad sales. On the other hand, it would be a waste to under-utilize your valuable advertising space. You don't want to be too apprehensive about having more than one ad in your café, on your property or on your website either. There is a happy medium, and once you find it, everyone will be happy: you, your advertisers, and your visitors.

Price your Ad Space accordingly

It is important that you don't price your advertising space too high or too low. Pricing too high may not get you any sales. Pricing too low may get you quick sales, but you will be making less than you should be making compared to market pricing.

Patience Patience Patience…

If your ads are priced right, and if you have a decent amount of traffic with an "Advertise Here" callout on your site, you should start receiving ad sales soon. The time it takes to start filling up your ad spots can range anywhere from one week to a few weeks or more. This wait-time can depend on several factors - many of which are out of your control and that have nothing to do with how you priced or placed the ad space. It may be best to wait about 4-6 weeks before trying to make any changes to your ad options. Reducing prices just because you haven't sold an ad in a few days may not be a good idea. But if there are no ad sales after several weeks, it may be time to do some more research and evaluate your ad prices or the placement or quantity of your ads to see if they may need to be altered. You can also email admin@advertiise.com if you would like support about the pricing and placement of your ads. Our goal is to help you get the most out of your advertising space.

Avoid Frequent Price Increases

If you raise the price of your ads too frequently, you risk frustrating your advertisers and disrupting existing and future customer purchases - to possibly never come back to advertise on your site again. Obtaining advertisers is a good goal to have, but retaining advertisers is even more important. Raising the price of the advertising space too frequently may send the wrong message to your current customers that their money is more important to you than their loyalty as a customer. It is important to keep good relationships with your advertisers for current and future ad sales. If your advertising space is successful and its popularity is increasing, that's great. But instead of raising the price too frequently as it grows, you may want to work out a price-increase strategy that allows you to evaluate your market situation and consider an increase in price to a fair amount every six or twelve months, depending on your rate of growth. Something also to consider is a price reduction on your advertising space as competition grows and competitors become more aggressive in your marketplace.
