Long Island Press increases incremental revenue and claims their local automotive market with
the launch of AdPerfect’s integrated media solution, Easy Find Autos.
AdPerfect, a leader in dynamic advertising solutions, launches Long Island Press, an award
winning weekly Long Island, NY newspaper, on their integrated media solution, Easy Find
Autos.
In today’s digital media landscape, where newspaper publications have seen decreases in print
advertising expenditures, Steven McKenna, General Manager at the Long Island Press notes, “A
print product at this point in time has to give people multiple touch points.” And that’s just what
McKenna saw in AdPerfect’s Easy Find Autos solution, which integrates print, online, mobile
and social media.
Steve Kump, AdPerfect President & CTO, explains, “This is not just another classified ad. This is
truly is an integrated media solution. And, with our new Facebook app it’s getting inventory in
the social media arena for added distribution.”
Branded as the Long Island Press Pre-Owned, McKenna is having no trouble selling to
automotive dealers in a market saturated by print-only competitors. McKenna states, “Our
advertisers love it!”
Separating themselves from the competition with an integrated media solution, the Long Island
Press is significantly increasing used car ad sales, generating an additional revenue stream. “In
the first week we had an initial 20% increase in incremental revenue,” McKenna says.
Kump explains, “Using the reporting metrics, Long Island Press’ sales team is now equipped
with the numbers need to sell to new dealers and retain existing ones. Plus, their dealers can see
how well their ad campaign is performing and make inventory adjustments accordingly.”
AdPerfect is not only driving incremental revenue for Long Island Press, they are saving time
and costs by streamlining production. “My creative department’s resources are not drained at all.
AdPerfect handles everything from inventory selection to pagination. It is instantly done. And
now advertisers are doing it themselves, bringing it to another level,” McKenna explains.
Being easy-to-implement as well means publishers, like Long Island Press, can start generating
additional revenue streams quickly. Commenting on the implementation McKenna says, “It was
very easy. This is truly a turnkey solution.”
McKenna adds, “Its great when you find a company like AdPerfect that understands, ‘we make
more money if you do.’ That builds a truly great partnership.”
AdPerfect is attending NAA’s mediaXchange conference March 25 - 28, 2011. Contact
sales@adperfect.com to arrange a demo on Easy Find Autos or any other AdPerfect advertising
solution while at the conference.

HLV has broadened its local capabilities by adding a shopping platform to serve consumers, merchants and affiliate websites. Lucky Local has a uniquely engineered application enabling a range of consumer facing websites, blogs, mobile apps and content providers to integrate local shopping functionality and in-store inventory data into their existing web platforms.

For example, revenues are earned from CPC affiliates in which related retailers have signed up for pay per click. Revenue can also be earned as a percentage of sales by way of our CPA (cost-per-acquisition) model in which existing retailer affiliate networks have been matched with their 2.6 million product database.
“Lucky Local’s unique Application Programming Interface (API) enables HLV affiliates and partners to earn revenue on any site that contains our HTML/API codes, which are adaptable for varied levels of businesses” said Aron Schoenfeld, Managing Partner of HLV. “We have created a model that allows our affiliates to earn from local search in an entirely new way” added Schoenfeld.
