In working with franchisors and retailers, one of the most important contributions Media Power has made to our clients is helping them determine media efficiency BEFORE they invest in a new location. A major factor that is often overlooked is the media plan.
At a meeting the other day, a retailer said to me "I quit doing television and radio advertising because it does not work anymore." My response was "All media works or they would not be in business. It is not your media buys that are no longer working, it's your media plan that is at fault."

Many advertisers today are well aware of the impact that political advertising has on television media rates. With limited inventory, supply and demand dictates the prices. And, not only do political candidates pay cash in advance, the TV stations do not need to share revenue with reps, and the candidates will pay what it takes to run. It's a goldmine for the stations for 45 days prior to primaries and national election day. And, now the political window has expanded because issue money is so-forthcoming.
It's that time of year when many of us reflect on the past 12 months, give thanks for our accomplishments, learn from our mistakes, and look optimistically to the new year.

Have you ever wondered if you are really getting all the media exposure you pay for? Do you know where the hidden costs are if your staff or your ad agency is not skilled at forecasting rating points? Do you know how often the stations on your buy run the wrong traffic or fail to deliver the planned GRPs?
Do your customers allow YOU to charge for products and services that weren't delivered as ordered? Do you know many ad agencies and advertisers do exactly that? You shouldn't pay for media that doesn't run as projected, negotiated and ordered; but you probably do if you aren't conducting media performance audits.
One client hired MPA to conduct a sample audit of their in-house media department. They selected three markets- Dallas, Charlotte and Pittsburgh. We audited their entire process – from plans to buys, from invoices to payment vouchers.They advertised weekly entertainment events so it was important that spots run as ordered. Most radio stations demanded payment in advance because entertainment clients are considered "transient" advertisers.To our client's surprise (but not ours) the media performance audit revealed that not one single radio station ran their schedules as ordered. Traffic was wrong, critical days were missed, the number of spots varied, but the client was paying 100% for the advertising as ordered.
I thought we were running a pretty tight operation until MPA conducted a performance audit. The annual impact of this slippage easily cost our company over $250,000 per year. We believe in the MPA way of guarding our money.
