Use Digital & Traditional Media Together 74%

Use Traditional Media Only 22%

Use Digital Media Only 3%

Borrell's Take

Use Another Method 1%

Only 3% of 3,039 local advertisers surveyed in the past 3 months said they're buying only digital media. The market is coalescing around digital and traditional media packages– and having a point person to manage it.

LOCAL SATURATION

PRINT DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

Consumers today are bombarded with advertising that is forced upon them, whether they choose to receive it or not – on radio and television, in print, on billboards and outdoor signs, in their mailboxes, and especially online. At The Real Estate Book, we believe in a different approach. Every copy of our magazine is picked up VOLUNTARILY by somebody interested in real estate and homes for sale in their local area. In the digital world, this is the equivalent of a person OPTING IN to receive email or online marketing. And it drives up the ROI on advertising investment exponentially.

In order to provide sufficient opportunities for consumers to pick up our magazines in their local area, we SATURATE the retail landscape with our racks and distribution outlets. You will find The Real Estate Book in grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, restaurants, coffee shops, deli’s, community centres, hospitals, salons & spas, car dealerships … you see us everywhere!

In addition, where it is considered necessary or desirable to SUPPLEMENT our free distribution, we deliver a portion of our press run directly to the home, either using Canada Post or other third party door-to-door delivery companies.

We have been advertising in The Real Estate Book for a few years now,

and it’s our main source of print advertising. We like the magazine because it is real estate focused, unlike many other magazines and newspapers. If

somebody is looking at this book then they want to see real estate and TREB delivers. It’s widely distributed around the city and we see people picking it up and calling us all month long. The owner, Steve, is great to work with, he helps with graphic design and goes out of his way assist when needed.
