This digital marketing solution involves creating high-quality digital content that captures attention and tells a story. It is useful and interesting to the viewer, which is precisely why it works. Target audience members click the ad to see what it’s about and are soon learning more about your product or service. Bay Area News Group provides native advertising solutions to businesses that want to generate sales by telling a compelling story. Our solutions differentiate your brand from your competitors through proper ad placement on the right platforms and by creating impactful storytelling that speaks to customers’ needs. If you’re looking for a fresh way to get your message across, our native advertising solutions are the answer. Native Advertising Defined Native ads are defined as ads that have the same look and feel as the other content on the platform on which they’re being displayed. For instance, Facebook shows a stream of posts on a user’s home page. Mixed in with posts from friends and relatives are posts that look similar from a layout and structure perspective, but which provide information about products or services that might appeal to the viewer. These are native ads. The focus here is to get relevant information about your product or service in front of an interested audience without unduly interrupting their viewing experience. Native ads focus more on telling a story than selling a product. This makes the ad more relevant – and more enjoyable – to the consumer. The information you want to impart is integrated within the content itself, so it’s less obvious that it’s an ad. According to Adtaxi , native ads generate about 20% – 60% higher engagement than traditional display banner ads. In addition, readers often share these ads with others. Types of Native Ads Bay Area News Group offers two types of native ads: native O&O and native RTB. We can assist you in choosing the right one to maximize ROI for your business. NATIVE O&O Native O&O ads (O&O stands for owned and operated) are designed to tell your story compellingly alongside our journalistic excellence. They are delivered through Bay Area News Group’s own online publications – mercurynews.com, eastbaytimes.com and marinij.com. Native O&O ads take advantage of our trusted content and engaged to deliver your message across all our platforms in a format that consumers are familiar with. These ads are labeled as sponsored content, but have the same look and feel as the rest of our editorial content allowing a more seamless user experience. Consumers are more open to engaging with your story because it is relevant, informs, educates or entertains them in a way that resonates with them. NATIVE RTB Native RTB ads (RTB stands for real-time bidding) immerse your brand within a publisher’s site to reach the right consumer in the right place at the right time and within the right context. This is done through the use of our award-winning cross-platform algorithmic optimization engine. This engine is loaded with consumer data that can be funneled, filtered, and otherwise massaged to sift out the audience segments you’re most interested in. Your ads are then tailored for hundreds of different digital platforms and served to your audience segments whenever they log into one of these platforms. This ensures that your message is relevant and well received. It also optimizes your budget, drives conversions, and maximizes results against the KPIs that matter most to your business. SEE CAMPAIGN EXAMPLES - PRICING Content Creation We publish daily and weekly trusted news brands and take pride in being content specialists.

Bay Area News Group offers programmatic advertising solutions that not only hit your target audience but also deliver results If you’ve been struggling to find the perfect mix of ad spend versus reach, programmatic ad campaigns may be the answer. Programmatic Advertising Defined Programmatic advertising is the process of automating the delivery of ads to target audiences so that ads are served continuously in real time to the people who are most likely to act on them. In essence, it speeds up the ad optimization process that many marketers find so frustrating. Programmatic advertising uses machine-learning technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to refine the selection process based on previous outcomes and is able to tweak the delivery of an ad on the fly, making sure it lands in front of the right person at the right time on the right platform. Programmatic ad delivery happens very quickly — in the amount of time it takes for a web page to load. Not only does it happen in the matter of a few nanoseconds, but programmatic advertising also consolidates advertising efforts into a single technology platform. This means that ads can be served up through a variety of channels at a moment’s notice — via desktop, tablet, mobile, audio, digital outdoor display, or connected TV — all from a single advertising platform. This frees up your time to work on other aspects of the campaign: branding, creative, pricing, marketing strategy, or fulfillment. Work Smarter, Not Harder There’s more to programmatic advertising than just serving up ads to the right people, though. Programmatic advertising streamlines the whole media-buying process through the use of algorithms and real-time bidding (RTB). These processes take mountains of consumer data collected by third parties, sift through it for the right attributes based on your target audience descriptors, and then deliver the ads on behalf of the highest bidder. It’s kind of like eBay for digital advertising. Programmatic advertising starts with predictive analysis based on attributes in the RTB inventory. From there, the platform’s iterative learning capabilities take over, becoming increasingly smarter about which prospects will convert to sales based on what’s working and what isn’t within the campaign. It’s a process that’s always in motion, which means it’s continually working on your behalf, getting smarter every minute. It’s much different than the time-consuming method of manually tweaking audiences and ads that most marketers engage in. With the right programmatic advertising online, the end result is that you save time and effort, reach your campaign goals more quickly, and only pay for the ads that are delivered to high-potential prospects. It’s a winning formula. Bay Area Digital Marketing Solutions - Take Advantage of Our Programmatic Marketing Solutions Bay Area News Group offers programmatic marketing solutions for clients who are looking to simplify and streamline the ad campaign process. We partner with Adtaxi, our in-house ad agency, to provide access to high-quality brand-safe RTB inventory that extends across the 15 largest exchanges in the U.S., encompassing over 95% of all available RTB inventory in the marketplace. This gives our clients access to massive quantities of first- and third-party consumer data that can be used to match ad impressions to the right audience members. At Bay Area News Group, we believe in transparency. Your campaign’s performance is always tracked and communicated to you through our analytics dashboard, giving you real-time access to the data you need to run your business profitably. Our programmatic advertising campaigns take the guesswork out of the digital ad purchasing process and help marketers make data-driven decisions that drive sales and ROI. If you’re considering the implementation of a programmatic advertising campaign, we can help.

Social media advertising involves paid ads on social media platforms to reach a broad audience, generate leads, and increase brand awareness. Social influencer marketing, on the other hand, involves partnering with influential individuals on social media to create sponsored content or product endorsements to reach a highly engaged audience and drive sales. Both tactics can be effective for brands depending on their goals, target audience, and budget. Boost Your Brand's Visibility and Drive Growth Bay Area News Group offers effective social media marketing solutions that help small businesses expand their reach and connect with potential customers. Through our agency-led approach, we'll work with you to create a customized digital marketing strategy that incorporates social media to drive lead generation, audience engagement, and conversion. Our proven best practices for audience targeting, ad formats, and campaign duration ensure maximum impact and ROI. Let us take the guesswork out of social media marketing and deliver results that drive your business forward. Social Advertising Basics Knowing which social platforms will work best for you is a challenge. It depends on many factors: What age group are you targeting? What’s the median income of your desired customers? Which social platform do they frequent the most? There are many reports available that can provide some of this information. But in the end, it comes down to your goals for your campaign. Both social media marketing and social influencer marketing can be used as middle or low-funnel marketing options to drive interest or action. If you’re building an email database, then gathering leads from Facebook or LinkedIn is a great way to go. If you want to convert lookers to purchasers, a social influencer campaign on Facebook can help generate sales. Looking to build relationships and engagement with your prospects? Facebook, Instagram and YouTube all work. And if you want to build brand awareness, you could use any of these plus LinkedIn or Tik Tok depending on your audience target. The trick is knowing which type of campaign and which platform will accomplish your goals most effectively and efficiently. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when contemplating social media advertising: Define your objective. It’s essential to hone in on your overall goal for your social campaign. You can’t hit the target if you don’t know what you’re aiming at. Make sure your objective is clearly defined before you move forward or you’ll put your ROI at risk. Define your target audience. Knowing who you’re trying to reach is nearly as important as knowing your overall objective. If you don’t know who you’re trying to reach, you’ll end up spending more than necessary trying to reach the right people. Define your audience before you start. Measure your results. If you don’t take the time to look at campaign results, you’ll have no idea if your advertising dollars are being spent wisely. Measure your results regularly so that you can make revisions to your campaign if necessary. Take the first step There are many other factors to consider when designing a successful social media advertising campaign. Bay Area News Group helps you define goals and audiences, create compelling ads to meet those goals, and measures results to ensure that your advertising dollars are being put to good use. If you want to build your brand, engage with prospects and customers, create a lead database for remarketing purposes, or convert browsers to buyers, social advertising is a great tool to employ.

However, over the past ten years, email marketing in the Bay Area has become a primary method of communicating with potential customers, as well. While many other content delivery methods have emerged since then, email marketing remains one of the most viable means of reaching target audiences. If you’re not using email marketing to get your message across and drive sales, you’re missing out. Why Use Email Marketing? An email marketing campaign is easy to implement and maintain consistently. What’s not so easy is doing it well. That’s where Bay Area News Group comes in. Through our email marketing solutions, we will help you develop a campaign that reaches your target audience, delivers a compelling message, and leads your audience to conversion. Take a look at some of the benefits of email marketing: Email content is delivered straight to your prospects’ inboxes, whether it’s on a home or work computer, tablet, or mobile phone. No longer do you have to rely on your target audience to find information about you and your products or services on their own. Your message can reach audiences targeted by demographics, behaviors and interests anytime and anywhere. Email marketing is a cost-effective way of reaching prospects, especially when you have a current email database. The cost of sending out an email or e-newsletter is mere pennies compared to other forms of advertising. Even when factoring in the cost of an email management system, email marketing still wins from a budget perspective. With the right messaging, strong call to action and proper segmentation, email marketing delivers results. Due to the minimal costs, Sales driven from this tactic tend to result in a higher-than-average ROI. In fact, many marketers state that email marketing is their most significant driver of ROI. It’s why so many companies include email marketing in their digital marketing strategy. Email marketing is an excellent tool for reinforcing other advertising messages. As an action-oriented, low marketing funnel solution, an email campaign can reinforce information on products or services promoted on other platforms, such as social media or print ads. Another option is to start with an email campaign to introduce prospects to your products or services, thereby increasing the likelihood that they’ll click through one of your display ads when they see it. Bay Area Advertising Agency - We Will Help You Drive Business Bay Area News Group helps clients leverage email marketing campaigns to communicate relevant information to targeted audiences on a regular basis. Email campaigns can be used to build brand awareness, achieve more units sold, customer engagement, surveys, drive business to a website, remarketing and more. Our strategies around email marketing campaigns include: ✓ Compelling, informative, and action-oriented messaging ✓ 100% permission-based marketing, adhering to the guidelines of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 ✓ Customizable design options to reinforce brand recognition ✓ Testing of various subject lines to see which generate more opens and more sales ✓ Strong calls to action ✓ Integration of email marketing into your overall marketing campaign for a synergistic approach ✓ Unique ability to reach our engaged subscriber audience through targeted email blasts Bay Area News Group provides you with actionable reporting on each email campaign that includes valuable data on who received your message, who opened it, who purchased, and who opted out.

LeadHax Pro is a digital marketing platform that serves as a powerful branding and agent retention tool for brokers. LeadHax Pro technology simplifies and automates online advertising (listings and agent promo) for your entire staff and delivers effective results on both desktop and mobile browsers. Situated among many cutting edge businesses such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Adobe, Tesla, Uber and more, LeadHax’s offerings include transformative and advanced digital technologies that help segment the audiences interested in real estate, and are located within a 15-mile radius of a ZIP code.

LeadHax’s technology leverages sophisticated targeting and data-gathering processes to ensure the properties in the agent’s message are being displayed to the people who are likely to be the most interested in them. The platform accesses the top 17 ad exchanges plus Facebook, covering 92% of the web.

What is Search Engine Marketing? WHY YOU NEED BANG EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS How do your customers find you? Do they search online using your company name? If so, that’s great! But if the people you want to sell to don’t know yet that you exist (or if you want to grow your market share), you need to take steps to gain your prospects’ awareness and maximize conversions. Search engine marketing (SEM) can help you do just that. SEM CAN HELP Rare is the customer who purchases an item without researching it first, whether they’re purchasing in-store or online. The ROBO Economy , a study published by Bazaarvoice, found that 45% of brick-and-mortar buyers read reviews before making a purchase, and 56% of online shoppers read reviews before purchasing. If your prospects can’t find you when they search for your goods and services online, you’re missing out on sales and revenue. SEM can quickly put your message in front of your prospects, so you are in the mix when they’re doing online research. What is Search Engine Marketing? Search engine marketing is a form of digital advertising that’s designed to get your ads in front of people searching for your products and services. There are many paid advertising venues or platforms, with Google AdWords being the one that most people think of, and use, when they want to reach prospects via paid search. Also known as pay per click (PPC), SEM is a faster way of increasing your position in search rankings. With PPC, you’re buying ad space in the sponsored section of the search engine platform. When a prospect searches one of the keywords you’re targeting, your ad is served up along with competitors’ ads. The more prospects who click on your ad, the greater the likelihood of your ad moving to the top of the list. You only pay for the ad when a consumer clicks through it to your website; hence the term pay-per-click. The thought here is that the cost per click is offset by the revenue brought in from the resulting purchase. Why You Need Bay Area News Group for Your SEM Campaigns There are a lot of back-end technical aspects that need to be considered when working with search engine marketing campaigns. Various aspects are continuously updated, such as Quality Score and specific rules that Google and other platforms have for ads that run on their networks. Keeping up with this ever-evolving landscape can be a challenge; one that consumes a lot of time and energy. Using an advertising partner like Bay Area News Group frees up your time to focus on running your business. HOW TO AVOID THE PITFALLS The entire process that’s involved in an SEM campaign includes key phrase research, creation of ad copy, ad placement, bid tracking, landing page creation, conversion tracking and many more tasks that are crucial for campaign success. What’s more, good SEM is built on continuous testing. The tweaking of ads is a vital part of the process, and all the A/B testing and monitoring that goes into an SEM campaign can be complex and time consuming. Speaking of time – you will need all of your time to run your business. Even if you hire an internal person to handle your PPC campaigns, that person will need to stay up-to-date on all of the latest SEM changes in the industry. You may not have the resources to support an extensive experience. Working with Bay Area News Group helps you avoid all of these potential pitfalls, so you can focus on advertising results. Effective SEM Solutions from Bay Area News Group Bay Area News Group offers SEM solutions tailored to your business. We help you cut through online noise to get your products and services noticed by the people who are searching for them. Our PPC campaigns deliver click-through rates and quality scores that are above industry standards. We believe in transparency and always keep you informed on the progress of your campaigns.
