The Media Menu
Media planning is the process of establishing the media vehicles to be used for advertising. Plans provide a way to speculate and agree on long or short term campaigns. A media plan can be used for designing an ad campaign that last for periods of up to 12 months. NEOSYS allows you to make plans in various formats depending on needs.

Vehicle Rate Card File
A ratecard is a printed price list issued by a media vehicle supplier showing rates charged for placing advertisements of various sizes, issue dates, requirements etc. Based on the mode of business done in the Middle East the rate card can't exactly be regarded as a fixed price sheet because the actual rates mostly vary from the rates mentioned on the rate card. Mostly rates are pre-negotiated between suppliers and the agencies and a discounted ratecard is drawn which depends on the clients handled, volume of spend, relationship etc.
NEOSYS enables the agency to enter the various details of the ratecard in the system and pick up the rates when creating a Plan or Schedule. This helps to reduce manual data entry.
