How to Get More RFP Responses

giphy (2)Media sellers have a complicated relationship with the RFP process. It’s a spreadsheet-laden, antiquated process that you just have to power through. But every RFP is an opportunity to build business.

Agencies and media buyers look at RFPs through rose-tinted glasses. In a perfect world, they create a competitive environment. A tougher RFP process can weed out vendors who aren’t worth your time.

This is a tempting idea, but don’t fall for it. If you want to promote competition and innovation, you will benefit from an increased RFP response rate. It’s not the most glamorous KPI, but it’s one that can have a big effect.

Create Proposals Automagically with “Fill From Historical”

automagical - waynes world gifAre you repeatedly inputting the same information into the DOmedia proposal grid? You may be missing out on one of the most powerful features of DOmedia! Our “Fill from Historical Data” technology recalls 15 columns worth of information, pulled directly from the last time an asset was proposed. If you have never issued a contract for that asset, DOmedia pulls the information straight from the asset listing in your profile.

Aside from being automagically awesome, here are 3 reasons you should use “Fill from Historical Data”:

Speed
You won’t waste time inputting information that’s necessary for every proposal (such as format, face and size). It makes the contracting process faster and saves you time!

Reduced error
Pulling data that has already been through the proposal process reduces user error. Every time you retype data you increase the chances that you will get something wrong. Don’t lose business because of a typo.

Work smarter, not harder
You’ve already done the work before. Now it’s time to let DOmedia work for you. This way, DOmedia gets more valuable the more you use it.

DO it Right: Choose a Category

Screen Shot 2015-12-30 at 10.51.25 AMIt’s been 8 years since DOmedia began to solve out-of-home’s most difficult problems. However, we still get questions from vendors about how to get the most out of DOmedia. That’s why we’ve created DO It Right – a blog series highlighting our vendor’s most popular questions.

Many DOmedia vendors offer alternative media space, such as coffee sleeve advertising or boat wrapping. Business owners with unique offerings sometimes worry that their products are too unique to fit within DOmedia’s format categories, which are based on industry standards set by the Traffic Audit Bureau. But, there are big benefits to choosing an existing category, even if it is not a perfect fit. Inventory that has been properly categorized is more visible in search results.

Most of the searches conducted on DOmedia are filtered by format. Keeping inventory in an extremely niche category keeps these products isolated from large searches. Limited searches are being done for unique offerings; but by placing unique inventory in broad categories, vendors are creating opportunity for buyers to see alternative offerings. This translates to more opportunities to win business!

Our client services team has overseen over 1,000 vendors as they added their business to DOmedia. They are experts in helping improve search visibility within the platform, and they are happy to help you choose the best category for you inventory.
