How We Get Results
Brokerage
Simply stated, Alternative Media is a great alternative to direct mail. It offers strong avenues to generate new buyers, subscribers or donors at a lower cost than solo mail. Once RMI understands your brand, customers, offers and objectives, we put together a comprehensive media plan designed to achieve your specific goals.
• Evaluating all media channels.
• Lowering your CPMs with smart negotiations.
• Providing value-added guidance on your creative strategy.
Management
Chances are you have untapped resources for an income opportunity: a newsletter, catalog, magazine, flat or parcel package, or some other vehicle where you can sell advertising space. RMI is your “easy-button” for finding that hidden gem and turning it into a profit center. We design and build simple, all-inclusive programs for our clients; doing all the work so you don’t have to.
• Developing successful, new-to-market programs for offline and online media channels.
• Revitalizing underperforming programs to make them profitable.
• Executing smart sales and marketing plans to keep programs sold out, or close to capacity.
• Maintaining solid, trust-based, profitable relationships with all of our partners.
Creative
RMI knows that the creative approach in Alternative Media typically needs to be different than your standard marketing strategy. Our creative team is well-versed in the alternative media space and can advise you on ways to adjust your existing offers or write and design a new piece from scratch.
