MenuHow much can I charge for 30 sec non skippable ad on my platform if I reach 10k users a day?
I'm planning for a startup that will give wifi internet access in public areas in exchange of watching ads. What should be the ideal charging amount for showing 30 sec non skippable ads?
Answers
You can charge $2.33 per 30 secs So if you get 200 visitors per day, you can expect to make $464 per banner ad. Tho, There are many conditions that can change this calculation.
so look at average youtube Revenue per 1000 views, and multiply by 2 ... Maybe a little more.
My guess $2-$5 / 1000 views
Now also consider that if it's the same "local advertiser" (located nearby your WIFI access) that could bring them lots of foot traffic and revenue ... so maybe you can charge more than $2-$5 :)
Easy answer is that video eCPMs could range from anywhere from $10 to $50 or even higher.
Short answer is you can charge as much as you can get away with
Long answer follows
# of visitors is ideally not a metric to benchmark what you should charge. The two primary factors being,
1) Audience Attributes - Assuming you are able to tap into specific public areas, you could segment your pricing based on that. Public areas near big retail stores, dense banking areas etc. suggest that your audience could be more affluent so you can seek high CPMs from brands to show ads in those areas
2) Advertising Objective: You mention a 30 sec non-skippable video ad so not a lot of scope here beyond awareness/consideration but could you potentially bake in a direct response format (say a coupon code for anytime within 1 mile of a Target store). Now if you can prove direct attribution of sales from ads on your platform, it opens up a far more lucrative pricing option where you could charge not only for showing ads but potentially a cut in sales
I agree with Ankit. I'm not sure how people are getting to their cost per user recommendations, but no reasonable marketer is going to pay you for that. Everything needs to be charged per thousand views as that's the industry standard (CPM or "Cost per Mille" which means "Cost per Thousand"). Video CPMs range anywhere from $5-$40 and I'd say the typically sweet spot that brands/agencies are used to paying would be $10-$25. At 10k views a day, you can reasonably make $100-$250 a day if you fill all your available inventory.

What is the best country to start an online marketing and design business in?
I have registered over 20 companies in the last decade and from my experience I can tell you that every country serves a different purpose. I run a small gambling company that I have registered in Malta due to the legality of online gambling there. I have another company registered in Delaware, whilst my main company is registered in the Netherlands. If your business is only online I would advise you to register it in Europe or if you must in the United States in Delaware/Nevada. Credibility wise I would say that registering your company in Singapore or Malta or Costa Rica, will not benefit you much opposed to say Delaware or The Netherlands. I am available for a call if you need anymore help. I am currently doing a promotion for a one time free 15 minute phone call so just send me a message for the discount code.GS

What are the best ways to generate traffic or ways to reach to the customers you are looking for as a startup?
It really comes down to 2 major buckets. 1) CONTENT / INBOUND MARKETING Some people consider this option free, but it's not. Time is money, and it requires an major investment to do it right. The options are: - Company blog - Guest post on other blogs - Engage on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) - Press - Videos on YouTube - Create a free App (web or mobile) etc ... This strategy is all about create amazing content/information/tools for your customers. Think about their major questions they have for your industry, and answer them. Even consider teaching them everything you know about your industry. Doing so will attract them, and make you look like an authority. I've done this with my past 2 companies Flowtown (300K U/V), and Clarity (40K U/V) blogs. Each of the items mentioned above have a unique strategy and tactic .. so best to pic the one you'd be most excited about creating, and do just that one with all your resources. 2) PAID MARKETING Paid means using advertising to introduce your company to potential customers. Some options you have: - Google Adwords - Facebook Ads - Twitter Ads - Bing Ads - Banner Ads etc ... The only way I would suggest paid marketing is if you truly understand your customer LTV (Lifetime Value). If you don't know that, then you could be wasting money attracting views to your startup that aren't profitable. So be sure to have a product / service that makes profit, then you can test different paid marketing channels. My rule of thumb, is it'll cost your $200 to get 1 new paying customer (on avg.), so unless you're making $600 profit from a new customer, don't both for now. If you need to discuss further, you know how to find me.DM

How can I effectively market my online business to baby boomers / senior citizens?
You have a lot of options to market to boomers and seniors. That age group is facebook's fastest growing segment. Build ads that target that age group and think about having a facebook page to supplement your efforts there. Older people search just like the rest of us as well, so build an adwords campaign around keywords that might align with your product. Contact me if you'd like to chat about some options or need some help building your campaigns. Good luck!JR

About to launch our new eCommerce website selling well priced unique watches. What is the best initial marketing strategy to use with minimal cost?
Here are some answers for you that I believe will help you. 1. You should implement a long term and short term strategy right at the beginning. What I mean is that there are essential parts to your marketing like SEO and content marketing that you need to implement right in the beginning, but will take a while to filter through, but these are essential if you want to have organic traffic. That would be L-T. The best for Short term for a newly launched site is ad's. Word of warning though. Know your customers demographics such as age, income, education etc, know your competitors demographics and then find the platform (such as social media channels) where your ideal customer is based on those researched demographics and then roll out targeted ad's for them. 2. You have to implement social media strategies right from the beginning of course, based on your demographic research. 3. Get busy Blogging - start with content marketing now. 4. Sweepstakes - start a giveaway to get traction with clients and create awareness. 5. Make sure you collect emails as these are like gold dust for future email marketing. 6. Video marketing is essential for competitive retail space and very powerful to get found on search engines like Google. Prior to me launching my digital marketing business 5 years ago, I built an online retail business and made many expensive mistakes. And they can be costly if not implemented correctly from the beginning. So in summary: SEO - very important, Ad's, Social Media, Sweepstakes, Blogging, Video & email marketing. I trust this will assist you. Let me know if you wish to have a call to discuss these or have follow up questions. Regards KennethKT
