Fry Ad Portal 2.1 Processes 200,000th Ad
Stable growth is testament to system's reliable flexibility
Mechanicsburg, PA - 11/23/2009 - Fry Communications (www.frycomm.com)
announces the Fry ReADy Ad Portal 2.1, Fry's automated, Web-based, publisherbranded
advertising file submission and management portal, has recently processed
its 200,000th ad. It is used today by nearly 200 publications, with another 300 new
titles already slated to come under contract in 2010.
The Fry ReADy Ad Portal 2.1 has seen steady usage growth over the past half
decade. In fact, about 25,000 ads have been processed since the beginning of 2009
alone. The adoption of the Ad Portal by large, multi-title/multinational publishing
corporations as well as smaller niche market publications speaks to its reliability,
ease of use, and flexibility in addressing their needs. In fact, the Fry Ad Portal also
operates as a donor of digital ad materials to printers for publications that Fry does
not print.
"This is a great milestone for the Fry ReADy Ad Portal," said Steve Grande, Fry's
VP/Sales, "underscoring its position as one of the most experienced and prevalent
systems for customer facing digital ad management on the market today."
ReADy Ad 2.1 preflights digital ad files, communicates the preflight results with an
email to contacts along with a 72 dpi reference PDF, and then creates an industry
standard print-ready PDF/X1a file for all compliant ads.
Features include an interactive positioning and cropping tool, insertion order
handling, robust publication management tools, and automatic messaging tied to
user log-ons as well as selection of a particular publication and/or publication date.
Most importantly, multiple metrics have been added to accommodate international
ad sizing due to the growing use of ReADy Ad by multinational publications.
Strategic in its technology, ReADy Ad 2.1 is purely ISP-based, eliminating concerns
related to corporate firewalls and security, restrictions on downloading and installing
unauthorized applications and plug-ins, and software deployment issues and mirrors
the publishers identity. The ASP model also frees publishers of hardware/software
support worries.
