Publication
Introduction
At the heart of the AdSales process in MediaVelox is the so-called publication. Publication is much more than just a magazine.
The term "publication" in MediaVelox covers a wide range of channels: In addition to the classic print medium and the website with online advertising spaces, the marketing of radio and TV advertising and even events or window displays can be depicted.
A publication in MediaVelox is any medium through which a certain inventory of advertising space is marketed in relation to a defined period of time.
Periods can be distinguished as booking according to time, e.g. the fixed publication date of a magazine issue, or according to duration, e.g. booking an online or window display advertising space for a specific period.
Object structure
Salesforce Configuration
The "Publication" object is already available as a tab in MediaVelox. Click the "New" button to create a new record:
The creation of a new publication requires only a few mandatory details:
Field (with example) | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Name of the publication
|
| product group; |
| Repetition rate - specifies the interval of the appearance. |
| where appropriate, labelling as a digital product. |
Of course, the actual structure in a company is usually more complex. In a further step, publication hierarchies, categories, publication groups for granting scale rules, or the reference to sales organization and company code for integration with third-party systems, for example, can be mapped in the publication.
