BUILDING READERSHIP

AOR uses the most sophisticated techniques to help keep current readers and attract new ones, including:

Tradeoff analysis: we force readers and potential readers to make tradeoffs between topics of news coverage, just as editors are forced to each day.

· Sophisticated segmentation analysis to target editorial and marketing strategies

· Benefits analysis to find out what readers expect and how you can meet those needs

· Opportunity maps to determine where to focus resources

Other tools to build readership include:

           · Editorial Tracking: an ongoing, timely and cost-effective way of measuring
             editorial and advertising readership

              · Editorial Consulting: we can work one-on-one with your editorial staff
             to ensure that the content builds reader satisfaction and penetration.

In addition, we conduct RBS studies and are ABC-audit approved.



BRANDiT™ is our trademarked process that integrates research and marketing to build brand identity and increase readership and reader loyalty.

 

Using BRANDiT™ approach we:

  1. Conduct research. This helps to understand how best to position your newspaper, magazine or media organization. We identify current readers at risk as well as potential readers.

  2. Develop the brand. We'll help create the positioning and specific marketing messages to build loyalty and attract new readers.

  3. Implement the campaign. We will create and design your advertising and marketing campaign.

  4. Conduct tracking research. We'll measure the success and refine the campaign.

CIRCULATION RESEARCH: REDUCING CHURN
From conducting hundreds of studies we've identified those relatively few specific issues that have the greatest impact on retention.

We can help you by conducting:

· The Quitter Study: Most former subscribers cite "price" or "no time" for canceling home or office delivery, but these are rarely the real reasons. We can identify real problems and create solutions to address them.

· The Subscriber Study: We identify those readers at greatest risk and pinpoint strategies to keep them.
