Step 1 : Adspace discovery

Features a catalogue search so an advertiser can search for any publishers/sellers that are set up in the system.

Let’s search the Catalogue

I’m very much interested in searching for publishers who target Marketing Professionals .I can apply that filter in the Marketing and business categories.

I’m very much interested in working class so i apply a filter on the age groups of 25 to 45

I get a very specific and targeted list of publishers  Journals ,Email Marketers, Magazines and Website  that match/suit my search criteria/advertising objectives and possibly work with

Clicking in any one of the publishers brings me to their properties page which includes publisher’s  rate card and targeting features

Step 2 : Compose Advert

Advertiser :

 Select Adspace you are interested in and number of Insertions  that you require

Selecting the Ad spaces that interests me from the publishers’  rate card  brings you  to the advert creation page .This page allows for the  confirmation of advert details such as start and end date and creative  upload

Having done that a request is automatically generated for the publisher

You can see the status of the campaign  as PENDING indicating that we are waiting for response from the publisher/seller

In case you need any help with planning, please write to help@adspaces.co.zw.We will check the ad space availability and prevailing discount at the time of booking.

Publisher

Let’s transition over to the publisher’s

What the publisher will see is that they have a new request along with the exact dates when it’s required to be responded to. They also get system emails to remind of anything they might not have seen in the publishers UI

They also get notifications if anything requires their attention

What the seller can do is approve the request or edit the flight dates this would require the advertiser to acknowledge the new dates

Back to the  advertiser

It looks like the publisher has responded in our favour .If iam satisfied I can go ahead and make the order .The system shows a preview of the order along with the terms and conditions associated with that order

The buyer can now submit the order and proceed to make payment.

Step 3 : Media Plan

Now that both parties have fully committed the process moves to Media Plan
Once the seller has approved the request  and confirmed availability of the ad space we pop it from the PENDING page to SCHEDULED page

If creative had been submitted by the  advertiser The  publisher will be able to preview the creative  and  download it eliminating the need for manual creative submission  .

As you can see Adspaces is a multi-purpose tool designed to automate the otherwise lengthy manual and error prone advert booking process into something efficient and can be done in a fraction of time as compared to the current process
