Ad Spending
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007The New York Times has an article (registration, free, may be required) about the predicted total money to be spent on ads for this year and some predictions about next year. It has some interesting information, particularly about the decline in local buys due in part, perhaps, to the loss of local companies to large corporations like the evil Wal*Mart. It also explores the increase in new media use.
It’s the new media use that I really want to point out. Far too many photographers are throwing in or hardly charging for web use in its many forms. The web is not free, web ads most certainly aren’t free, and new media uses deserved to be considered as a valid and vital part of any usage license…and its fee.
So, today’s lesson is a two-fer: shop at local companies and to bill appropriately for new media uses.
