YouTube will begin selling ads in live TV service


YouTube will begin selling ads in its live TV stream, opening up more inventory in the streaming TV sector that can more precisely target very specific consumers. It’s part of the Google-owned video behemoth’s efforts to compete more directly with traditional TV and give advertisers more opportunities to reach consumers on the larger living-room screen.

Like traditional pay-TV operators, YouTube has two minutes of local ad inventory per hour on each network that it can sell. So far YouTube has let the networks themselves sell that two minutes.

Now YouTube will sell the time as part of its Google Preferred package, which aggregates the top 5 percent of YouTube content for advertisers. It plans to make the announcement during its NewFront presentation on Thursday.

T-Mobile agreed Sunday to acquire rival Sprint for $26 billion, a move that both CEOs say will accelerate deployment of 5G technology, lower prices for consumers and create new jobs.

The combined company, which will be called T-Mobile, will be valued at $146 billion including debt. John Legere, current president and CEO of T-Mobile, will serve as chief executive of the new company. Sprint’s current CEO, Marcelo Claure, will serve on the board of the new venture.

4 Cara Anda Dapat Membuat Daftar Email Anda

4 Cara Anda Dapat Membuat Daftar Email Anda. Mari tinjau bagaimana Anda dapat menggunakan surat langsung (surat-menyurat sendiri dan kartu pos), konvensi, pertemuan dan pameran dagang, serta tempat-tempat TV dan radio untuk mengembangkan daftar email Anda. Tapi pertama-tama, strategi membangun daftar offline yang tak terduga: panggilan dingin.

Panggilan dingin Tidak ada yang suka ide memanggil seseorang keluar dari biru. Bersabarlah sejenak: Strategi ini tidak membebani waktu (atau sedikit uang jika Anda menyewa asisten virtual untuk melakukan panggilan untuk Anda).

Diperlukan mengetahui nama individu yang Anda inginkan sebagai pelanggan dan skrip singkat: “Hai, ini Sarah dari Perusahaan ABC. Saya memiliki email penting untuk dikirim ke Mr. Bill Bower. Maukah Anda menghubungkan saya dengan dia untuk mendapatkan izin untuk mengirimkannya? ”

Jika itu tidak membuat Anda menjadi Mr. Bower, lanjutkan: “Alasan saya bertanya adalah saya bekerja untuk Kathy Flores, seorang ahli pemasaran asuransi yang terkenal dan dihormati. Dia menerbitkan buletin email mingguan yang beberapa ribu agen asuransi terima, baca, dan nikmati. Satu-satunya alasan saya menelepon adalah bertanya kepada Mr. Bower jika dia terbuka kepada kami mengiriminya buletin mingguan.

Pembaca kami memberi tahu kami bahwa diperlukan sekitar enam menit untuk membaca masing-masing, dan mereka menemukan banyak nilai di dalamnya. Bisakah Anda menghubungkan saya? ” Tentu saja, jika Anda terhubung dengan Pak Bower segera, Anda akan menggunakan banyak bahasa yang sama untuk meyakinkannya tentang nilai membaca email yang Anda minta izin untuk dikirim.

(Jangan khawatir tentang legalitas karena dengan mendapatkan izin langsung dari Tuan Bower untuk mengirim email keikutsertaan — dan bukan hanya mendapatkan izin lisan dan kemudian menambahkan nama Mr. Bower ke daftar alamat email yang ditulis tangan untuk dimasukkan dalam daftar nanti — Anda ‘sesuai dengan undang-undang CAN-SPAM.)

Surat langsung Self-mailer (folder yang dapat dikirim melalui surat tanpa enclosure dalam amplop dengan menggunakan stiker yang dilekatkan untuk menyatukan daun) dan kartu pos adalah dua cara paling murah untuk menambahkan nama ke daftar subscriber Anda.

Self-mailer memberi Anda lebih banyak ruang untuk bekerja dibandingkan dengan kartu pos, dan karena tidak ada amplop yang menyembunyikan isinya, baik self-mailer dan kartu pos memudahkan penerima untuk segera melihat isi surat Anda.

Kartu pos murah: Anda akan membayar mulai dari satu sen hingga 15 sen untuk kartu pos berukuran standar, tergantung pada volume yang dipesan. Self-mailer akan membebani Anda jauh lebih banyak, tetapi keuntungan dari ruang penjualan ekstra mungkin terbukti sebanding dengan biayanya.

Buku Pegangan Rencana Pemasaran Oleh: Robert W. Bly Beli dari Digital Marketing Handbook Oleh: Robert W. Bly Beli dari Buku Pegangan Rencana Pemasaran Oleh: Robert W. Bly Beli dari Digital Marketing Handbook Oleh: Robert W.

Bly Beli dari Apa yang harus Anda tawarkan? Apa pun itu, ikatkan ke pendaftaran: Buat agar penawaran (yang tidak dapat ditolak) hanya dapat ditukarkan saat penerima mendaftar ke buletin Anda. Jaringan Jika Anda menghadiri acara langsung seperti pameran dagang dan pertemuan asosiasi, Anda akan memiliki banyak peluang untuk menambahkan pelanggan email.

Beberapa pasif: Kartu bisnis Anda dan brosur produk atau layanan harus menampilkan tautan pendaftaran atau, lebih baik lagi, kode QR. Kode QR akan memungkinkan orang untuk memilih ke dalam daftar email Anda hanya dengan memindai kode. Apakah mengumpulkan alamat email pada acara tatap muka dianggap “ikut serta” oleh penyedia layanan email (ESP)?

Jawabannya adalah ya jika Anda melakukannya dengan menggunakan formulir yang secara jelas menunjukkan bahwa orang tersebut mendaftar untuk bergabung dengan daftar email Anda. Banyak pemasar menemukan menggunakan komputer tablet dengan aplikasi pengumpulan data menjadi cara paling efisien (dan etis) untuk mengumpulkan informasi kontak.

Pastikan untuk mengirim kontak ini email selamat datang sesegera mungkin yang mengonfirmasikan keikutsertaan mereka ke daftar Anda. Biaya untuk mendapatkan pelanggan di acara langsung dapat sulit dihitung. Ini bukan biaya pencetakan kartu nama dan brosur; biayanya lebih banyak daripada jumlah waktu yang dihabiskan dan jumlah uang yang Anda habiskan untuk menghadiri acara tersebut.

Namun, itu relatif tidak mahal – terutama bila dibandingkan dengan promosi TV atau radio, opsi terakhir kami. Iklan TV dan radio Sekarang, kita berada di liga besar ketika menghabiskan uang. Biaya produksi iklan radio dapat menghabiskan Anda antara $ 500 dan $ 1.000, di mana Anda harus menambahkan biaya menayangkan tempat radio Anda.

Dan berapa biayanya untuk menjalankan iklan TV lokal? Tarif bervariasi tergantung pada waktu hari dan tahun serta lokasi. Anda dapat membayar mulai dari $ 200 hingga $ 1,500 untuk tempat 30 detik pada tengah hari, tetapi iklan terlihat antara jam 6 sore. dan jam 7 malam akan membebani Anda jauh lebih banyak. Iklan TV nasional, yang dapat menjalankan $ 100.000 untuk tempat 30 detik, berada di luar anggaran sebagian besar bisnis kecil.
