Setup actions.
Decide your channels
Newsletter only, BillabongTV only, or a bundled package. Bundled commands higher pricing.
Set tiered annual packages
$50/mo newsletter slot, $100/mo newsletter + BillabongTV rotation, $150/mo premium positioning. Annual contracts only.
Build a one-page rate card
Audience size — homes, residents, average attendance — so advertisers can value the reach.
Identify 5–10 obvious local advertisers
Approach them in person. Coffee at the clubhouse beats a cold email every time.
Invoice the full year upfront
Eliminates the bad-debt risk of monthly billing and gets the cash in early.
Set a committee review step
Every new ad reviewed against the AANA Code of Ethics (legal, honest, no misleading claims) before it runs.
Operating model.
Where BillabongLife fits.
Digital signage, marketing automation, and a newsletter that sells itself.
BillabongTV makes the digital signage half of the package fully automated. Marketing automation handles renewal chasing. Silver covers newsletter advertising on its own — go Gold to unlock the BillabongTV revenue line.
