The Front Porch Magazine Increases Print Ad Sales Using Online Sales Process

April 25, 2005 -- The Front Porch Magazine - "where people share life" is a weekly supplement carried by newspapers around the country and consists of reader-driven content. Publisher of The Front Porch, Andy Nash, learned about Mediabids from copywriter Rix Quinn who was writing content for the website prior to launching in April 2003. Nash was attracted to the opportunity to market their publications to an expanded advertising audience without increasing staff efforts.

"We're really pleased with the online sales process that Mediabids offers. It's worked well as a supplement to our primary sales efforts especially when we have remnant space to sell and since Mediabids charges a low commission rate, we're able to sell advertising at about 75% off street rates. It's offered us a great opportunity to make advertisers aware of our vehicle"- said Nash.
