Base Rate: clicking on edit enables you to change the rates for each station. There is also a feature that allows you to bump up all station rates at the same time by adding in the $dollar amount and click “Bump rates on all stations”.

(watch the video below for an additional tutorial on base rate)

Days of the Week: This is where you will be able to adjust the pricing based on the slower or busier days of the week.

Length of Contract: This is where you are able to adjust discounts depending on how long the ads run for. (Example: 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 52 weeks) The longer the contract length, the more of a discount your customers will get.

Ad Blocks: This will allow you to set up a discount if a customer buys a block of ads. This can be adjusted to reflect per week, per month or per contract.

Week of Year: Rates can be adjusted per season depending on slower times of the year.

Spot Lengths: This is where the contract is priced by how long the radio spot ad is. You can add as many time spots in this section as you would like.

Dayparts: You can add and edit as many dayparts as needed.

Shows: Add in special pricing for shows that your station runs

Packages: This is special pricing in a specific time frame

One Sheets: These are very basic specific pricing for any specials your stations run.
