Timebased pricing models are common in media industries from "summary" of Time and Media Markets by Alan B. Albarran,Angel Arrese Reca
Timebased pricing models are common in media industries. These models are based on the idea that the price of advertising or content is determined by the time of day or the day of the week that it is aired or published. For example, television networks may charge higher rates for advertising during prime time hours when viewership is at its peak. Similarly, newspapers may charge more for advertising in their Sunday editions when circulation is typically higher.
One of the advantages of timebased pricing models is that they allow media companies to maximize their revenue by capitalizing on periods of high demand. By charging more for advertising during peak times, media companies can increase their profits and offset the costs of producing content. This can be particularly important in industries where production costs are high and competition is fierce.
However, timebased pricing models can also be controversial. Critics argue that they can be unfair to advertisers, who may be forced to pay higher rates for advertising during peak times, even if those times are not the most effective for reaching their target audience. Additionally, timebased pricing models can create challenges for media buyers, who must navigate a complex pricing structure to determine the most cost-effective advertising options.
Despite these criticisms, timebased pricing models remain a common practice in media industries. They are seen as a way for media companies to monetize their content and advertising space effectively. As technology continues to evolve and new platforms emerge, it is likely that timebased pricing models will continue to play a significant role in the media marketplace.
