Why bother with political advertising? For one thing, political is a multi-billion dollar category and it just keeps growing! Our industry has made great strides over the last 10 years in turning the bright lights on political and delivering new revenue to news media companies. But there is always more that we can do.
During this webinar we will discuss:
- Why it’s not too early to start your political sales planning.
- Why this 2022 mid-term election is different, more expensive and full of new opportunities.
- Where the money will be spent.
- Finding out who the candidates are and what to say when you get in front of them.
- The importance of Political Action Committees (PAC’s) and other advocacy groups.
- The role of state Republican and Democratic Party chairs.
- The importance of making the buy easy and examples of successful packaging from newspapers around the country.
