Aldi Süd again testing the cessation of newspaper ads

Print advertising: Aldi Süd again testing the cessation of newspaper ads

After a first test last spring in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the German discounter Aldi Süd stopped placing full-page advertisements in four regional editions of the daily newspaper WAZ (Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung). The ads used to appear twice weekly. This new 'test' in North Rhine-Westphalia gives reason for concern to German newspapers that see this as the possible start of a gradual withdrawal of the Aldi print ads from newspapers in favour of direct flyer advertising.

goLocal: A Newsplex initiative

NEWSPLEX: goLocal: A Newsplex initiative

Newsplex, in partnership with the German Press Agency dpa, launched an initiative called goLocal during IFRA Expo 2009 that aims to help support local and regional publishers to make the most of their unique market position.

“We want to make it clear to publishers how to utilise the benefits of regional, local and hyperlocal publishing and business services,” says Dietmar Schantin, Newsplex director and executive director of Publishing, Editorial and General Management at WAN-IFRA. “It is important for publishers to cater to the regional and local audience with compelling regional and local content. This is where a unique advantage can be generated and global, mostly digital, media players can be beaten. At the same time, when we talk about business services, we are not just talking about advertising, we are talking about being a media consultant with comprehensive, agency-like services for regional and local businesses.”

Media-led news agencies, such as the American AP, Austrian APA or German dpa, are seeking new possibilities of supporting shareholders and customers by providing new technical services in the necessary local re-orientation. This includes enriching local contents with metadata that is becoming increasingly important for achieving success on the web, joint content marketing or pursuing copyright infringements. “Besides their core news business, the agencies will develop completely new services in order to support publishing houses effectively – just as we have done for 50 publishing houses with our MINDS platform,” says Meinolf Ellers, CEO of dpa-infocom.

  • E-publishing: What are the products and the business models?
  • Advertising in 2010: What is required of the newspaper?
  • Where does untapped potential lie?

The conference held by the Federation of German Newspaper Publishers (BDZV) and WAN-IFRA offered a compelling agenda, with insight into many best practices and genuine success stories in and around the digital business of newspapers.

Turning credibility into money: A new revenue model for newspapers

Learning from Google: Turning credibility into money: A new revenue model for newspapers

Grig Davidovitz and Max Levitte describe how newspapers can learn from Google how to develop a revenue model that is connected to their core business. And while Google's core business is search, news sites are the most trustworthy sites online. So instead of erecting pay-walls that drive customers away, newspapers should learn how to leverage trust online.

Advertising Focus Session

IFRA Expo 2009: Advertising Focus Session

Some media analysts are projecting an advertising revenue increase in 2010 as the world economy starts to recover. Welcome news for publishers for sure. That is why Expo’s first Focus Session, from 14.00-16.30 Monday, 12 October, at the Lehár 1+2 room, was dedicated to the latest trends in advertising.

It kicked off with Staffan Hultén, vice president and founder of RAM Research and Analysis of Media in Sweden, who shared his company’s latest research in this sector.

To gain back some of that precious classified income, it all starts with usability. Birgit Geiberger, creative director user experiences for Xalmiento web-services in Germany, showed some best-practice case studies to help publishers benchmark their activities here.

The Naples Daily News in Naples, Florida, USA, has been associated with innovation in recent years for its new media advances. Chris Doyle, president and publisher, Naples News Media Group and the Naples Daily News, shared his company’s secret: “Simplifying to Grow.”

Alexander Kowalak from OWL Online, the regional online service provider for a number of German newspapers, presented AdX. He explained OWL Online’s decision in favour of AdX and talked about opportunities and prospects presented by the ad management system.

The session was chaired by Ioana Sträter, Programme Manager Events, WAN-IFRA, Germany.

14. Bremer Verlagstreffen

10 Jahre MSP: 14. Bremer Verlagstreffen

Während der MSP (Medien Systempartner) Newsletter vom Juni d. J. noch mit der Schlagzeile „Mit der Tendenz zum Aufsteigen – MSP wird 10 Jahre und bleibt am Boden“ warb, so klang Motto des 14. Bremer Verlagstreffens sehr viel mutiger: „Mit neuem Antrieb Richtung Zukunft“ sollte es gehen. Die Besucher blieben zwar am Boden, aber das Besucherzentrum EADS vermittelte ihnen hautnah und plastisch einen Eindruck von der Weite des Raumes und von dem engen Leben auf einer Raumstation. Eine Veranstaltung, die weit mehr zu bieten hatte als die Vorstellung der eigenen Produkte und Dienstleistungen.

25 Years ppi Media

Anniversary: 25 Years ppi Media

For 25 years ppi Media has been an innovative software development company for newspaper publishers. There are not many companies in Germany that have had such a high level of international success and have become a global market leader. Everything started in Hamburg, and so the famous Hotel Hafen Hamburg overlooking the scenic harbour was the perfect location to celebrate the anniversary. Even Peter Pape, who founded Pape + Partner Informationssysteme back in 1984, was present and despite all Hanseatic understatement he was obviously pleased about this anniversary.

  • Please read an interview with Norbert Ohl and Martin Ruhle, the two managing directors of ppi Media.
