Special Section Drives Sales In Print and Online

Two community newspapers – the West Volusia Beacon and Wilson County News – implemented Metro’s Drive & Ride title as a print section and a themed website to speed production and drive ad sales.

CREATE: Metro’s corresponding print sections and mobile-responsive themed websites are designed to help publications and their advertisers target strategic audiences. These products are fully templated and ready to run; in fact, websites and online directories can be made “live” and ready to sell on day one through Metro’s quick and easy content management system (CMS).

SELL: The Beacon created ad bundles with their digital and print Drive & Ride sections, offering advertisers a 25 percent discount on their web advertisement if they ran in print to bolster digital sales. They also offered a free fifth month for web advertisers.

PROFIT: West Volusia Beacon IT manager Michael Jaeckle says that, thanks to the low hosting cost, their Drive & Ride themed website was “profitable with very little setup.” Kristen Weaver, director of operations for Wilson County News, reports that the print section also worked out great for her publication.
