Internet Advertising Basics: Maximizing Display Advertising Revenue
Meet Dan Ambrose, one of the publishing industry’s most talented sales coaches.
Are you maximizing revenue with your website advertising inventory, or is it time to re-examine your business model?

Dear publishing colleague,
Have you ever wondered why some publications — both print and online — enjoy a wealth of advertising support, while others — perhaps yours — barely show a respectable profit?
Maximizing revenues with Internet ad sales doesn’t happen by chance. And it’s not solely the result of great ad sales reps, although well educated ad sales professionals are indispensible.
As our publishing colleague Diane Schwartz of minonline.com says, “From how to structure your sales staff, to how to price your integrated programs, Internet ad sales is a challenge faced by the whole publishing team: marketing, PR, advertising, sales, editorial.”
“Sure, the salesperson needs to close the deal, but others on your team need to create the opportunity, whether it’s outstanding editorial content or a well-navigated site design.”
We couldn’t agree more.
Driving online revenue with optimized ad sales is a deliberate process that requires configuring your infrastructure, content, marketing, research and sales.
Dan Ambrose
Dan Ambrose should know. He has made a career of unraveling and demystifying the complexities of publication ad sales.
Dan worked on the founding of iVillage.com, About.com, MediaBistro.com, and Beliefnet.com. He has consulted with Primedia Magazines, Smithsonian, Children’s Television Workshop, and many others.
Dan directed marketing, sales and administrative management of multi-magazine advertising packages for Hearst’s largest and most important clients, running approximately 3,500 advertising pages annually.
He was also responsible for the creation of the first “Electronic Rate Card,” on computer disk, which was used by advertising media planners to instantly price Hearst magazine packages.
There’s more to Dan’s illustrious career, but you get the idea. He is one of the magazine industry’s most talented sales coaches, and has literally written the book on Internet sales.
Now Dan has agreed to share his experience — and reveal some his most valuable insights — in a 90-minute seminar co-produced by Mequoda and the Specialized Information Publishers Association (SIPA).
“You’ll discover how the two media — Internet and print — complement rather than compete with each other from the point of view of the publisher and of the advertiser.”
