  Release Body: MediaBids.com, the Newspaper and Magazine 
  Advertising Marketplace, announced today that the 6,500th print advertising 
  auction was created using its patented reverse-auction system. 
  
  MediaBids’ online marketplace for newspaper and magazine 
  advertising provides buyers and sellers of print advertising the option of conducting 
  business through a patented reverse-auction platform. Advertisers place their 
  advertising dollars up for bid using a simple online RFP auction form, and publications 
  bid using their ad space as currency. Advertisers can choose as many or as few 
  local, regional and national newspapers, magazines, shoppers, trade publications, 
  newsletters and journals to invite to bid on their ad budget. 
“Our advertising auctions are a win-win for both publications and advertisers. Advertisers find auctions to be a great way to quickly gather rates from multiple publications and because of the competitive nature of the process, they often receive significant savings off rate card prices. For publications, the auction process, offers a fast, easy way to sell to advertisers that their salespeople are not reaching,” said Jedd Gould, President of MediaBids, Inc.
There is no charge associated with participating in a print advertising auction via Mediabids.com – advertisers must only create a free account to have access to the process. To view live auctions or create a free account, please visit http://www.mediabids.com
