Imagine If...

  • You had a simple way to track the activity and commissions of your advertising sales staff.
  • You could view sales reports across multiple issues of a publication — effortlessly.
  • Monitoring of agency discounts — and increasing accountability if they are too frequent — could be accomplished with a single keystroke.
  • You had a powerful, yet simple system, for tracking ad sales for an unlimited number of publications.

Advertising Module

Wish you had a crystal ball to forecast revenues and sidestep creeping trends that can put your publications in a lurch? ARC Polaris™ makes ad sales management simple, from the most straightforward transaction to the most complex, multi-layered programs.

This powerful module gives you all the easy-to-use management tools you’ll need to track, monitor, and predict future numbers based on past performance. For example, it’s no secret that the activities of your account executives are crucial to your long-term fiscal health and success. That’s why we give you the power to monitor your sales force. You’ll be able to track who is meeting quotas, negotiating discounts, and offering off-rate promotions, and gain insight into how commissions are being split.

Managing ad placements and tracking sales across multiple issues — or multiple publications — has never been easier. Breathe easy with the Polaris Advertising Module. Simply stated, it’s a powerful tool that accurately forecasts future revenues based on past performance.

Power-Packed Features

A sweet set-up

With Polaris, setting up descriptions, graphics, text and even rate cards for all of your publications is now remarkably simple. And we include the latest security features that allow you to easily restrict access to sensitive data.

The simple life...for all your advertisers

Advertisers will love the ease of submitting their ad reservations online into a system that remembers all their information and settings — and lets them upload the ad creative directly into the system, too. To keep them (and your production staff) on schedule, you can send them automated reminders of space and materials deadlines.

Sophisticated, sales-focused tracking

Polaris tells you precisely where to turn when there’s ad space to fill. With a click of the mouse, you’ll have instant access to a list of recent advertisers who have not yet placed orders in your current issue.

Billing made easy

Say goodbye to manual invoice creation. Polaris automatically generates invoices and tear sheet reports that you can directly import. And your advertisers have the convenience of selecting their payment method — credit card, check, or deferred/account billing.
