How much do advertising agencies here in the Philippines charge? For example a TVC? POPs? Print ads? A full campaign for a client? It would also be very helpful to know the rates of big agencies (like BBDO Guerrero, TBWA, Publicis Jimenez Basic, Ogilvy, Etc.) and the smaller players in the industry. Thanks

It really depends on what kind of media you plan to use… around 50,000 the lowest fro print ads and can skyrocket from there. If you wish to post your products and services on the net or may want to find suppliers. you may want to visit bizeen, its a website with business profile of suppliers and buyers in the philippines.

The Evening Standard (in London) paper recently turned into a free publication. I understand that they did this as they believe the increased revenue from advertising (due to rise in readership levels) will be more than previously received with the cover price. Can they make money in other ways apart from advertising whilst being a free paper?
Agent, thanks for your take. I appreciate it. It will be interesting to see if the national papers go down the same route in the future. I guess it will depend ultimately on their readership volumes and moves taken by competitors.

they use several other instruments for income: lottery games, paid publications, sms games, getting sponsorships and donations…

Hi, i am interested in starting up a fantasy soccer website. I believe i have found a niche market where i expect to have between 3000-5000 members.

I plan to give a free service and generate revenue through selling advertising space and sponsorship.

How do i go about valuing the advertising space?

Well, it’s not as easy as that. First, you have to make the website and then worry about the value of advertising. Once you have made it, advertise the website itself. An example to use:

http://www.rentapost.blogspot.com/

They have a free halloween promotion on so that you can ‘rent a post’ for free while it usually costs. Put up your idea and you will get responses.

Then, see how many members actually sign-up. If you use Adbrite, they will estimate it and advertisers will bid and fight for your space, depending how popular it is.

I would offer many different options for business owners to choose. printing and distributing flyers or corner signs, running ads in the newspaper and online websites or radio. Pretty much anything to do with advertising/ promoting for local businesses owned by individuals (like lawn care, roofing, restraunt, hair salon etc.) What should I do to start my business and is this a stupid idea?

I really think this is a good idea. I would contract you. Here are a few things you should know.

1. Pick a good name. Something people will remember.

2. Will you be a Sole Proprietor, LLC, or Corporation? This effects your liability if you get sued and taxes.

3. How much seed capital, or money do you have to start your business? This can include credit available.

4. Do you have a contract your costomers will sign? AKA an Engagement Agreement. Without this you will probably not get paid, and you will always want to leave very clear what you will do and not do. That way there are not any mistunderstandings.

5. Do you have an office, or work from home? Office will help you get clients vs home where business is rent free.

6. How will you keep records? Bookkeeping is very important. If the IRS has questions and you don’t have records you will loose audits and get fined. This can lead to not having funds to run your business. BE CAREFUL and keep records.

7. Will you have employees or sub-contractors? This can also get you in trouble. If you pay an employee cash that employee can sue you and you will most likely not have money to run your business after all the fines. BE HONEST.

8. Do you have an Accountant, Lawyer who will help you and give you advise? This is an investment. We can help you to stay out of trouble and grow your business. Look for a trustworthy accountant.

Hope this helps and Good Luck!
