Simple Revisions and Approvals

Integrated Ad Proofing & Review

Back-and-forth during the advertiser review process can clog email boxes and lead to delays in production. With our integrated proofing and review process, your advertisers can approve or comment their changes directly within Ad Sales Genius.

Ad Sales Genius Publishing FAQ

Why do I need a magazine CRM?

Ad Sales Genius is a full-featured magazine CRM platform, but it’s also much more. Our software is designed to help you expand ad revenue and maximize efficiency across magazine sales, production, and accounting. This means you can easily automate routine publishing tasks, eliminate duplicate data entry, and sell thousands of types of advertising. 

With Ad Sales Genius, you aren’t limited to traditional issue-based advertising. We give you the freedom to expand your publishing business by packaging and selling print ads, online placements, digital programmatic, events/expos, sponsorships, and much more.

What sets Ad Sales Genius apart from other magazine software?

At Ad Sales Genius, we’ve been invested in the success of the publishing industry since our inception. We’ve created a powerful CRM that allows magazines and media groups to expand their advertising inventory to meet market demands. With Ad Sales Genius, you won’t wait for software updates to unlock the features you need. And you don’t need to hire a costly software developer to create a custom solution.

Our team offers personalized training, free monthly webinars, and top-quality support to help ensure your teams get the most from our product, both now and for years to come.

How does software automation help publishers sell more advertising?

Think about the process your team follows from sales prospecting to collecting paid invoices. Our software combines a powerful publishing CRM with the data management of an ERP (enterprise resource platform). As a result, data automatically flows from one task to the next. Your sales, production, and accounting teams can work in sync to increase productivity across your business.
 
Automation translates to: faster, more accurate work, happier advertisers, and better allocation of resources to package, sell, and produce the advertising products with the best possible revenue potential.

What questions should I ask while evaluating magazine management software?

It’s important to do your homework while evaluating magazine CRM software. At Ad Sales Genius, we’re 100% confident in our software’s capabilities, and we encourage our prospective customers to perform their due diligence before switching to a new software solution.
