In the midst of the most explosive growth ever for TV stations and their affiliated websites, Strata Marketing is pleased to report that its clients are already taking advantage of the ability to buy, sell, and steward multi-media buys within the Strata platform. The digital transition for broadcasters has created additional programming outlets that are crucial to broadcasters’ overall revenue. Additionally, the proliferation of station-run or affiliated websites has created new revenue opportunities for stations and new advertising venues for their clients.
TV Stations using Strata’s sales software can maintain inventory, sell spots (or web ads), traffic orders, and post orders for the new digital sub-channels. Additionally, Strata clients can do this regardless of whether a sub-channel appears in a traditional rating book. This technology, exclusive to Strata clients only, means thousands of media buyers can recognize the station as an advertising outlet within their media buying software.
For TV station websites, Strata offers the ability to maintain inventory for all web advertising properties with rates, estimated page views, “click through rates ”, and the ability to compute a combined cost per thousand viewers in a multi-media campaign. Because of Strata’s industry leading work in electronic communication, TV AE’s and media buyers on the Strata platform can send and receive avails and orders that load automatically on their desktops. This unique benefit leads to greater efficiency, fewer errors, and no redundant data entry.
