Efficient workflows for your advertising needs
The Ad4All Ad|Portal is a self-service advertisement submission portal, fully tailored to the delivery and processing of advertising materials. For you as a publisher, this solution not only provides significant time savings but also brings clarity and peace of mind within your organization, as the entire workflow (submission, checking, proofs) is automated.
Your advertisers receive an order confirmation and are automatically notified by email of upcoming deadlines (known as copy chasing). As a result, account managers and/or traffic staff no longer need to chase missing advertising materials.
Does a PDF fail to meet the specifications you have set? Then the advertiser is notified during the submission process. This ensures that you always receive approved and compliant material.
We solve problems.
And we do so at scale. The system is currently used daily by more than 100 publications and supports over 5,000 advertisers.
How?
The animated video briefly and clearly explains the workflow and capabilities of the Ad|Portal.
How does it work for the advertiser?
Your advertisers access the advertisement submission portal via a link included in an email sent by you. The Ad|Portal features a user-friendly and intuitive interface, allowing advertisers to upload new advertising material or resubmit existing material.
During the upload process, the advertisement is automatically checked and, if necessary, corrected using the online PDF checker and fixer. As a result, the submitted advertising material is always approved and can then be fully integrated into your publication process automatically or, in some cases, published directly.
The Ad|Portal is available to your advertisers 24/7.
Cloud-based
With a cloud-based system, you have access to the platform anytime and anywhere. No dedicated server, system administrator, or initial hardware investment is required to start using the Ad|Portal.
PDF Checker
It regularly happens that digitally submitted advertisements turn out to be unsuitable for publication after submission. In the final stage of the production process, for example, it may become apparent that colors have not been properly converted to CMYK mode or that content extends beyond the page boundaries.
The PDF Checker verifies whether the submitted PDFs comply with the delivery specifications. Any error messages are automatically sent back to the submitting party, including clear instructions on how to resolve the identified issues in the file.
This creates an efficient workflow for all parties involved while minimizing the risk of errors.
PDF Fixer
As a publisher, you can choose to use the PDF Fixer in addition to the PDF Checker. The PDF Fixer corrects the errors identified by the PDF Checker. Once the file has been corrected, the advertiser receives the final result with a request for approval.
