cmsbot by Metro helps local Texas newspaper transform its marketing program and revenue

The Daily Sentinel, Nacogdoches, Texas

Posted

Using cmsbot, a new all-in-one digital marketing platform by Metro Creative Graphics, The Daily Sentinel recently started selling websites to local businesses. Metro’s cmsbot equips the Sentinel’s sales team to offer professional websites with coordinated web and social media ads in minutes with no upfront costs.

CREATE:
Using their co-branded digital media marketing website from cmsbot™, Sentinel sales reps sent their initial tracking links to several local prospects, inviting them to build a business website that includes a free trial with no upfront cost, credit card or registration. A local landscaping company opened the link and quickly designed a site they loved by following three simple prompts directly from their phone.

SELL:
The Sentinel offers three packages promoting its new digital marketing program. Businesses can purchase a website for $50 per month, a website with 25,000 digital ads for $150 per month, or a website with 50,000 digital ads for $275 per month. They invite prospects to try the program free for seven days with no cost, commitment or upfront payment. Within a week of becoming a cmsbot partner, the Sentinel sales team had designed, sold and activated their first full website without a designer or developer.

PROFIT:
With an introductory Metro subscriber rate of $15 monthly for each active website, the Sentinel can produce profits of $35 to $260 per month for every digital package they sell. Publisher Rick Craig states, “We're seeing huge potential with cmsbot for boosting our digital sales. It's priced well, so we can make a good profit and add marketing bundles for our clients — everyone wins. We already have a client who built their site on their phone and they're loving it.”
