Is AVE the best way to measure a PR mention’s worth? Why does this matter for your business?
Imagine getting a 100,000 INR advertisement for free. Sounds too good to be true, right?Let’s say your eco-friendly water bottle company scores a full-page feature in a popular lifestyle magazine. Normally, this coverage would cost you 100,000 INR . But here’s where it gets interesting: your PR team managed to get your product featured editorially — without the direct cost of advertising.
This isn’t just good luck; it’s the power of effective public relations. The monetary value of this editorial coverage is what we call Advertising Value Equivalent (AVE). In this case, the AVE is 100,000 INR, meaning your PR efforts gave you the visibility equivalent to what 100,000 INR spent on advertising would have offered.
Why does this matter for your business? AVE helps quantify the effectiveness of your PR activities, showing not just the reach but the actual financial value of your media coverage. Let’s dive deeper into how AVE works and why it’s crucial for measuring the ROI of your PR strategies.
Wizikey recently conducted interviews with industry leaders, including WebEngage, PGI, Good Glamm, and Digit Insurance. The common feedback from these users was clear: they no longer wanted to rely solely on metrics like Article Reach or the number of readers, but rather sought a more comprehensive understanding of the potential advertising value of their media coverage.
In response to this user demand, Wizikey is excited to announce the integration of a new AVE chart in the Share of Voice tab. This feature will allow users to visualize the AVE for their brand and competition on a month-over-month basis, with the option to toggle between INR and USD.
Wizikey’s AVE calculation follows a tiered approach, where the value assigned to each article is determined by the publication’s tier.
This tiered system is based on the following guidelines:
