How to close ad deals and convert more readers into subscribers with a media CRM

Track reader touchpoints and communication
Even with a large audience, you may struggle to convert readers into paying subscribers.

What to look for in a media and publishing CRM
Media outlets have specific requirements when catering to external stakeholders, so make sure you install a CRM capable of meeting those needs.
Here’s what to look for when identifying a CRM for your publication:
Finance reporting
What are your subscriber retention rates and how many sponsors have you onboarded this year? A CRM will store and display key information so you can make informed decisions.
Event management functionality
Events can be chaotic. Choose a CRM that helps you keep track of your events and their success in one place to relieve the pressure.
Scalability
Finding an adaptable CRM is critical for your growth. A good media CRM will support your operations in the early days and grow with you as you scale.
