Yac Media - ‘Driving new revenues from your classifieds’

Classified Response Service – Private Ads .The unique functionality of this service has been specifically designed for media owners running any private classified advertising. The web hosted service provisions a pool of revenue streaming telephone numbers, so when a customer places an advert with either a printed or online publication they are allocated a telephone number for the lifetime of their advert. This number automatically diverts to the advertisers own telephone number(s) at no cost to them. Should the item be sold or the advert not renewed, the Yac system will withdraw the number from use for a short period before returning to the pool ready to be re-issued to a new advertisement.

For Your Business

A private number for each advertisement gives privacy / security to customers and differentiates you from rival publications whilst giving value-added customer service

A share of the net margin from calls made to the advert by respondents is paid to you, providing previously denied new revenue streams

Call reporting will provide an overview of responses of calls to adverts enabling a publication to measure and maximise their proposition to the marketplace

Call report analysis enables up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, generating incremental revenues

A feature of the service allows a recorded 'sold' message from the ad department to be played to the respondent, enhancing customer service and brand values

Once set up, the service is free to you and your advertiser, which will encourage uptake and repeat business

Each respondent to an advert can be greeted with a personalised message specific to your publication, thus enhancing your brand name with a value-added service


For Your Advertisers

Publisher supplied numbers means advertisers don't have to publish their private home or mobile number, thus prote
