Advertising Media Prices Will Increase in 2011, Says Publisher of Thumbnail Media Planner

June 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Rochester, MI, "The cost of advertising media will likely increase beginning in fall 2010 as congressional races plus some increased ad budgets will significantly reduce the supply of time and space," according to Ron Geskey, CEO of 2020:Marketing Communications LLC and publisher of the popular Thumbnail Media Planner. "Advertisers should capitalize on the buyer’s market while they can," he continued.

Also, according to Geskey, many large advertisers and large media buyers are expecting increased demand and 8%+ price increases in the 2010-2011 upfront television season. Any price increases follow price reductions in 2009 and 2010.
