NT News

News Ltd - Online Event Auction - browsebidandbuy

As the Advertising Manager at the NT News in Darwin I was excited our organisation was able to secure  inXcess to facilitate our browsebidandbuy.com.au auction. The creation of new opportunities with clients is paramount to success in our business and the inXcess auction program provided an acquisition strategy for clients who previously had not advertised with us. It gave them the means to advertise in our products that they may not have necessarily had. Through the auction the NT News has been able to give our clients the privilege of choice when looking at advertising as we were able to offer newspaper solutions, magazine offerings and online opportunities. Overall the technology for the auction platform worked very well providing all of the reporting functionality I needed and the support from the inXcess team was great. What we aim to do for our next program is simple – more product and increase bidders, we learnt so much from the first year so I am confident we can continue to grow our auction site.

Geelong Advertiser

Fairfax Media - Online Event Auction - Bid Buy Local

“With the help of inXcess the Geelong Advertiser Group launched Bid Buy Local in 2010 with great success. After our first event 92% of bidders surveyed said they would participate in another Bid Buy Local online auction and almost 90% had referred friends or family to the website. The program has generated fantastic awareness and new customers for our advertisers and most importantly, it’s delivered new clients and immediate incremental revenue to our bottom line – which we plan to grow year on year.”

Mark Hallo, Group Advertising Director, Geelong Advertiser

The West Australian

West Australian Newspapers Ltd - Online Event Auction - Click2Bid

“The response to Click2Bid has been overwhelming. Our sponsors, QBE and The Professionals, and vendors and bidders alike have all helped to make Click2Bid an amazing success.”

David Bignold, Advertising Director, The West Australian

The Mercury & Sunday Tribune - South Africa

Independent Newspapers Ltd – Online Event Auction – Bid’n’Save

“The most important factor in the success of our first auction was the infrastructure provided by CityXpress and InXcess in the areas of system management tools, support, training and reporting. Our bidders and readers associated the newspapers with the professionalism of the bid process and infrastructure – real “First World” stuff in a somewhat Third World environment!”                

John Millar, Project Manager Bid’n’Save, INL South Africa

News Communities –  Printworx – Future Growth

“During my tenure as CEO of News Communities (Australia), I was involved with Cheryl and her team in the implementation of Forward Sales Programs designed to attract new advertisers to the group.

These were very successful and News Communities continues to run these programs to this day.   They resulted in over 500 new clients being signed in the first year at Cumberland Newspapers NSW, and across the group a total of over $8 Million was achieved in additional revenue.

I would recommend this program to any media company wanting to improve on their budgeted revenue for any given year. It is also an excellent way to attract new customers.

Cheryl is committed to empowering individuals to achieve their personal and professional goals whilst at the same time allowing them to achieve new skills by team building which comes as part of the program.”
