Hey, sales reps:
Guess who has something new for you...
What if something could
help your newspaper increase ad revenue? Expand
your newspaper’s coverage
area? Provide more options
for your advertisers without
detracting anything from
the value of your newspaper?
More importantly, what if it
supported critical NC Press
Association services such
as lobbying and the legal
hotline?
That thing, often overlooked, already exists. But,
because it’s underutilized,
we’re taking yet another
look at the NCPS advertising networks.
Over the last few weeks
you’ve seen emails and
information in our weekly
e-press about NCPS advertising networks. Many,
many good changes are
happening with NCPS
programs this spring and
if you haven’t been able to
keep up with all of them,
we’re ready to help you get
started here.
Potential Network Advertisers
Need ideas of advertisers who would benefit from
running an ad on the networks? No problem! Here are
some of the categories our sales reps have success with:
2X2, 2X4, and 1/4 Page Display Networks
Tourist Events and Festivals, Law Firms (class action
suits), Auctioneers, Non-profits, Medical Equipment/
Supply, Vacation Rentals, Education (online degrees,
regional degree programs), Home Improvement (vinyl
siding, steel buildings, swimming pools. etc.)
Classified Network
Employment (truck driving companies, job fairs), Auctions, Vacation Rentals, Education (online degrees,
regional degree programs), Home Improvement (vinyl
siding, steel buildings, swimming pools, etc.)
Networks 101
The first thing to know is
that the NCPS networks
are not your competition.
Instead, they’re designed to
offer both our clients and
yours convenient regional
groupings of daily and community newspapers that will
allow them to expand the
reach of advertising messages.
These network groupings allow an advertiser to expand
their marketing regionally
for a fraction of the cost they
might pay otherwise. More
over, you can help them do
it with just one phone call.
The newspapers that are
involved in the networks
contract with NCPS to run
ads each week or when ads
are ordered. NCPS currently
offers three networks and
they include classified ads,
2X2 and 2X4 display ads,
and the NC Quarter Page
network.
Each of the three networks
operates the same way regardless of whether you
sell into them, or we do. It’s
simple really…
1- Advertisers choose
the size of ad they
want to run (classified line ad, 2X2, 2X4,
or quarter page).
the week they would
like to run the ad. All
ads are scheduled
weekly, based on
a Monday-Sunday
time frame. Member newspapers
that participate in
the networks simply
schedule the ads for
any day within that
week that works best
for them.
their coverage –
regional or statewide.
Who sells the networks?
Any newspaper that participates in a network can
sell into it. NCPS works with
clients and other state press
associations to place network orders as well.
The value of managing the
networks through NCPS is
the efficiency we can provide you and your advertiser.
Once you send the order
and ad copy to NCPS, we
take care of the rest.
Let’s face it, easy is good.
And when that easy benefits
everyone involved, it’s even
better.
Money, Money, Money! sales - and frankly, some jobs to make print a more valuNow that you understand
how the networks operate
and how you can sell the
networks, let’s talk about
the best part (drum roll,
please…).
just can’t be done alone.
Taking it on the road
Realizing that a few articles,
emails and notes won’t tell
you everything you need to
know about NCPS network
opportunities, we’re hitting
the road.
You, your newspaper,
and your association
all make money when

you utilize the networks to meet with newspapers
and talk about “everything
program!
When you sell a network ad,
your newspaper keeps half
the sale of a classified, 2X2
or 2 X 4 ad. The newspaper
keeps 15% of the sale for a
quarter page ad.
The rep who sold the ad
makes money too. NCPS Rep
Rewards is a program that
pays each individual advertising rep who sells a network ad. Reward amounts
will range from $10-$1000
based on the network and
region sold.
Most importantly, though,
network ad sales support

legal hotline, NCPA’s legislative initiatives, and more.
These services are provided
to your newspaper to keep
our industry strong. Their

More importantly, the networks were created to support the services needed by
NC newspapers through the

Association. When you sell

your newspaper’s, and funds
