Wade says many newspapers are discovering new revenue streams through events and event ticketing. Using demographics and lifestyle data can both increase attendance and non-traditional revenue. He's encouraging publishers to come learn an easy step toward becoming a marketing extraordinaire.
He said, "Augusta turned a nice partnership with a community not-for-profit organization into a great one by using data tools to attract a new audience to one of the largest community events in the area. Newspaper publishers own a wealth of information that can easily be enhanced and turned into an incredible marketing powerhouse. All papers should be doing this!"
Pompe will offer a look at the Austin American-Statesman's third revenue stream, which includes: agency services, signature and experiential events. He'll said, "We'll look at the launch and growth with scalability in mind."
"Like many traditional media companies have identified, digital alone will not make up for the losses in print or broadcast spots," Pompe said. "Our third revenue stream of non-digital agency services and events will give you some ideas to take home that Statesman Media has been able to execute profitably."
