An Advertising Plan is also sometimes referred to as an Advertising Budget. This area allows you to create an Advertising Plan that may be appended to Appraisals and Listings. When an Advertising Plan is attached to a Listing you have an option to convert it into an Advertising Campaign and in doing so, assign scheduled dates for when the Advertising Items are due to happen. Before creating an Advertising Plan ensure that you have created Advertising Items to be inserted into the Advertising Plan.

To create an Advertising Plan:

1.       Click on the Administration menu function button.

9.       Enter the number of times you require the item to be repeated in the Advertising Plan in the

Repeats column. E.g. Sunday Paper may repeat for 4 consecutive weeks.

10.     The Budget Amount will automatically calculate based on the cost per item. The Budget

Amount can be changed if required but any changes made to this amount will not update the Advertising Item and will only be applicable to this plan.
