Medium-Sized Ad Budgets Are Your Key To Incremental Growth in 2020
When we do custom research for media sellers like Spotify, Microsoft and Google, the results range from the expected to the shocking. Recently a custom research assignment revealed a truth for this particular media seller that we realized is a truth for most media sellers: smaller ad budgets have more power than you think.
Let’s Break That Down.
Of course most media sellers put a lot of energy and resources into the big ad spenders. That’s where the revenue is, where you get the big gains that can get your quarter off to a great start. But it’s likely that a combination of medium-sized budgets, en masse, will get you over your revenue goals for the quarter. And if you’re not focusing on these advertisers, giving them support and resources on a similar level as your big spenders, you’re jeopardizing a steady and reliable revenue stream.
We’ve got some suggestions for expanding your base effectively to these medium-sized advertisers.
- Get Help.
Consider getting your marketing team behind the idea. Contacting and prospecting directly to medium-sized advertisers requires a different approach than the way you solicit big-budget companies. Expanding the marketing focus to this sector will give the effort legitimacy and a place in the business strategy discussion. It will also give the effort a serious chance at success, with budget and resources to bring it to life.
- Be Selective.
Not all medium-sized advertisers are right for you. For one thing, an advertiser may be selling in a category that’s not growing. Using limited resources to pursue an opportunity here doesn’t make sense. But a medium-sized advertiser in a category that’s growing means they could become a big ad spender. Also be selective in pursuing medium-sized advertisers that are a good fit with the insights and strengths you offer. For example, let’s say you’re a sports news site. In the last several months your analytics have shown a sharp increase in female visitors, coming on the heels of the passion that Megan Rapinoe generated during the Women’s World Cup games. A medium-sized advertiser may be more likely to take a risk on this unconventional opportunity, especially if you’ve got the stats to support the recommendation.
- Train Up.
Most media sellers have a Chief Insights Officer, generally reserved for the biggest ad spenders. Few media sellers have a team of any size coming up behind the Chief Insights Officer. It’s time to get the next level involved and letting them cut their teeth on the medium-sized ad budgets is a great place to start.
At a time when incremental growth is the norm and the hockey stick growth line less common, it pays to keep your eyes open for opportunities that can bump the bottom line.
