Are you tired of spending money on print advertising, only to have your message reach a fraction of the intended audience? That's where guaranteed circulation comes in.
Guaranteed circulation is a model where publishers guarantee that a certain number of copies of their newspaper or magazine will be distributed and read by an audience. This level of assurance makes it easier for advertisers to make decisions and allocate budgets.
Guaranteed circulation is a model for print media buying that provides advertisers with assurance about the number of copies of their ad that will go into circulation. This level of guarantee is typically backed by an audit or similar verification process.
Publishers agree to a specific distribution model, which could include everything from the demographics of the target audience to the specific geographic region where copies will be distributed. The publisher then provides advertisers with a guaranteed circulation figure for each edition.
One key benefit of this model is the assurance it provides advertisers – they can plan campaigns and allocate budgets with confidence knowing they are guaranteed to reach their intended audience. Guaranteed circulation also offers excellent cost-per-thousand (CPM) rates as publishers are confident in their numbers and can charge accordingly.
Audience targeting involves selecting specific consumer groups who are most likely to engage with your brand, product, or service. By honing in on these consumers, brands can provide more personalized messages resulting in higher engagement rates and impactful ad experiences.
Print advertising offers unique benefits that digital advertising cannot match: larger format ads, highly-targeted local audiences, and longer shelf life. For many brands who are looking for high-impact advertising placements or who need to develop brand loyalty within a smaller geographic region or demographic group, print advertising still remains highly effective.
Guaranteed circulation programs can be used across all types of print media, including newspapers and magazines.
