  TIERED PRICING

Tiered Pricing rewards you for placing long-term orders and is built into the rate cards.

We define long-term orders as orders for ads that will run 2 months (46 days)* or more.

*We define a month as any 30-day period.  However, you are not eligible to move to the next pricing tier unless your ad will extend at least 16 days into the first month of the next tier.

If your ad will extend less than 16 days (i.e. only 1 to 15 days) into another pricing tier, you will be subject to b-level prices (Tier 1B, Tier 2B, etc.).

• Tier 1 --  1 Month (1 - 30 days):  You will pay the base price.
• Tier 1B -- (31 to 45 days); You will pay Tier 1 price for the first 30 days + Tier 2 price for the additional days.

• Tier 2 -- 2 to 3 Months (46 to 90 days): You will receive 30% off the base price of the ad. 
• Tier 2B -- (91 to 105 days):  You will pay Tier 2 price for the first 3 months + Tier 3 price for the additional days.

• Tier 3 -- 4 to 6 Months (106 to 180 days):  You will receive 35% off the base price of the ad. 
• Tier 3B -- (181 to 195 days):  You will pay Tier 3 price for the first 6 months + Tier 4 price for the additional days.

• Tier 4 -- 7 to 9 Months (196 to 270:  You will receive 40% off the base price of the ad. 
• Tier 4B -- (271 to 285 days):  You will pay Tier 4 price for the first 9 months + Tier 5 price for the additional days.

• Tier 5 -- 10 to 12 Months (286 to 360 days):  You will receive 45% off the base price of the ad.
• Tier 5B -- (361 to 365 days):  You will pay at the Tier 5 price for the first 12 months + Tier 5 price for the additional days.

 PRICING & DISCOUNT EXAMPLES

TIERED PRICING EXAMPLES

Example 1:
You place an order for a skyscraper ad that will run for 85 days.  This ad costs $45/mth, so at full price, you would pay $127.50.  However, you are eligible for Tier 2 Pricing which gives you a 30% discount.

$63.00 for the first 2 months ($45.00 - $13.50 discount = $31.50 x 2 months = $63.00)
$26.25 for the add'l 25 days ($45.00 - $13.50 discount = $31.50 x 25/30 days = $26.25)
$89.25 total amount due (a $38.25 savings off the full price of $127.50)

Example 2:
You place an order for a skyscraper ad that will run for three months (90 days).  This ad costs $45/mth.  At full price you would pay $135.  However, you are eligible for Tier 2 pricing which gives you a 30% discount.

$45.00 - $13.50 discount = $31.50 x 3 months = $94.50 total amount due (a $40.50 savings off the full price of $135.00)

Example 3:
You place an order for a skyscraper ad that will run for 105 days.  This ad costs $45/mth, so at full price, you would have paid $157.50.  However, you are eligible for Tier 2B pricing which gives you a 30% discount off the first 3 months and a 35% discount off the additional 15 days.

$  94.50 for the first 3 months ($45.00 - $13.50 discount = $31.50 x 3 months = $94.50)
$  14.63 for the add'l 15 days ($45.00 - $15.75 discount = $29.25 x 15/30 days = $14.63)
$109.13 total due (a $48.37 savings off the full price of $157.50)

ADVANCE ORDER DISCOUNT EXAMPLES

Example 1:
You place an order for a middle-right rectangle ad that will start running 63 days later.  This ad costs $31.50/mth and will run for 1 months.  At full price you would pay $31.50, but with the Advance Order discount of 5%.

$31.50 - $1.58 discount = $29.93 total amount due (a $1.58 savings off the full price of $31.50)

Example 2:
You place an order for a 6-month middle-right rectangle ad 120 days before the start date.  At full price, the ad costs $31.50/mth, but since your ad will run for 6 months, you qualify for Tier 3 pricing.  Therefore, you will only pay $20.48/mth, so the full price would be $122.88.  In addition to this savings, the order qualifies for an Advance Order discount of 10%. 

$122.88 - $12.29 discount = $110.59 total amount due (a $12.29 savings off the full price of 122.88)

BULK ORDER DISCOUNT EXAMPLES

Example:
You place an order for 1 half horizontal ad for your label, 1 top-right rectangle ad for your artist’s new album, 1 skyscraper ad for another of your artist's birthday bash and 1 middle-right rectangle ad to help out a friend who is an independent artist.  Each ad is $49/mth, $47/mth, $45/mth and $31.50/mth, respectively, and each ad will run for 1 month.  At full price, your total bill would be $172.50.  But this order qualifies for a Bulk Order Discount of 3% per ad. 

 COMBINED DISCOUNT EXAMPLES

Example 1:
You order 3(three) 6-month ads 61 days before the start date: 1 Skyscraper, 1 middle-right rectangle and 1 bottom full banner.  The base price of the ads are $45.00/mth, 31.50/mth and 22.50/mth, respectively.  However, since the ads will run for 6 months, you qualify for tier 3 pricing.  Each ad also qualifies for a 5% advance order discount and a 3% Bulk Order Discount. 

Example 2:
You are a non-profit organization and you order 3(three) 6-month ads 61 days before the start date: 1 Skyscraper, 1 middle-right rectangle and 1 bottom full banner.  The base price of the ads are $45.00/mth, 31.50/mth and 22.50/mth, respectively.  However, since the ads will run for 6 months, you qualify for tier 3 pricing.  Each ad also qualifies for a 5% advance order discount and a 3% Bulk Order Discount.   As you can see, this equals a 33% discount.  However, your total would have to be adjusted in order to comply with the 30% cap on combined discounts.

TARGETED PRICING EXAMPLES

Example 1

You place an order for a full bottom banner ad that will run for three months (90 days) and will only be shown on the Entertainment and Industry pages.

• First, you qualify for Tier 2 prices, so you would only pay 12.78/mth for the Industry Page and 7.18/mth for the Entertainment Page.
• Secondly, since you qualify for half-price on the cheaper ad placement (the one that will appear on the Entertainment Page), you would actually only pay 3.59/mth for that ad.

Sooo...

12.78/mth x 3 mths = $38.34
  3.59/mth x 3 mths = $10.77
Total Amount Due  = $49.11
