AdMission Technology Platform Selected to Streamline Call Center Process
NEXPO NAA NEWSPAPER TECHNOLOGY EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE, June 21, 2004 – (NEXPO 2004 Booth #2625) - IPIX AdMission, a provider of directional advertising solutions, today announced that Recycler Classifieds has expanded it's use of IPIX's enhanced advertising platform . The publication has selected AdMission™ to streamline its call center process for creating photo-enhanced classified ads, expanding its previous use of IPIX technology from pure web-based ad creation.
The Recycler features more than 300 categories of items for sale with a weekly readership of more than 600,000 in print, and 400,000 on-line, and has been offering online-only users IPIX imaging tools for almost three years. By incorporating AdMission into the call center workflow, Recycler can better manage its daily presentation of more than 20,000 weekly classified ads that are initiated over the phone. AdMission will provide a cost-effective, self-service ad solution that allows both sales representatives and advertisers to create enhanced ads for immediate viewing by consumers.
"We process thousands of advertising requests every week through our call center that often require the work of imaging professionals to complete the ad," said Matt Nakano, general manager, Recycler.com. "IPIX's tools have been serving our online-only community well for several years, so we looked to them for a self-service solution that would allow our call center customers and representatives to streamline the ad creation process. AdMission provided an ideal solution from a trusted vendor that helped us cut costs, improve the entire workflow and improve the timeliness and user experience of submitting a photo ad."
"Recycler serves a very large advertising community, making them an ideal client for AdMission," said Sarah Pate, general manager of IPIX AdMission. "Our self-service enhanced photo ad solutions are well-suited to high volume eCommerce operations because they put the power of ad creation and management into the hands of the advertiser, resulting in cost savings and incremental revenue for publishers. It's an up-sell with real value that's easy for call center reps to explain and simple for advertisers to understand."
