As media buying has taken on an entirely new scope, reaching new levels of negotiation, target marketing and quantitative performance. Today’s media buyers are charged with the mounting challenges in research and planning within a complex world.
Print media decisions come down to the analysis of audited circulation in relation to professional Reach, Penetration and Readership.
Reach tests the quality and reliability of a publication’s print run in combination with the methods of distribution – whether by carrier, mail or controlled bulk. Currently CVC, one of the nation’s most respected independent media auditing companies, reports a national average of 97.1% receivership for free local papers.
PENETRATION is where community papers are second to none. No other form of print or electronic media compares to free paper market penetration – whether you desire to target a specified demographic or a geographic region.
Proof of Readership requires auditor-to-reader contact in order to provide media buyers and publishers with the assurance that local newspapers are more than just delivered. The national average for community paper readership is 76.9%. That’s 3 out of every 4 households. In addition, readers of community newspapers report 74.4% of their buying decisions are made from free newspaper advertising and editorial.
