The webinar first aired December 2009.
For over a century, magazines and other media have been inspiring and directing readers’ buying habits, often without credit or attribution. In the online realm, consumers can move from editorial content directly to a buy button, and publishers can become directly integrated into consumers’ buy cycles. But how can content providers profit from the e-commerce ecosystem? In this month’s min webinar we explore several models for weaving content with commerce—from direct sales to affiliate relationships with retailers, from special members-only discount shopping clubs for your readers to richer audience metrics to offer ad clients. There are many ways for content to get closer to the bottom of the purchase funnel and increase publisher revenue in the process.
But launching an e-commerce business can lead media brands into uncharted regions. For instance, how should media brands manage relationships with different kinds of e-commerce partners? How do these relationships challenge traditional church and state divisions? What kinds of revenue should publishers expect?
In min's webinar on how to leverage e-commerce for your media brand, we have assembled a panel of experts who will discuss:
- How to align yourself with the right vendor/advertiser for your e-commerce initiative
- How to gauge whether affiliate relationships are right for you and your content
- How to staff up for an e-commerce relationships (who does what in which department)
- What should you be selling? What should you avoid?
- How do you overcome resistance of your C-suite and board and get their buy-in?
- How should buy buttons, affiliate relationships and links to e-tailors be handled within an editorial page?
- How to maintain editorial integrity and church/state clarity when your content is linked to product sales
- How do you successfully integrate e-commerce into your company’s marketing/communications plans?
- How do you determine and measure ROI—what analytics should you use?
- How do you target specific audiences that may be different from your brand’s usual audience?
