Fortunately, some of these services, like <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/media-monitoring\/\">Prowly<\/a>, offer media monitoring <strong>free trials<\/strong>, so you can test them out and make sure they include the specific features your team is looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the features and benefits you and your team should consider when pricing out your options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The number of clients and keywords you\u2019ll need to monitor<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The total number of channels you\u2019ll want to monitor. <\/strong>There are many to choose from! Do you need coverage for media outlets only, or also social media?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The number of users. <\/strong>How many team members will need access to the service?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your agency reporting needs. <\/strong>Will the service\u2019s standard ones work, or will you require the ability to build custom reports? Do you need these reports to be scheduled for automatic delivery?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you compare media monitoring costs against running a focus group, either in-house or with an outside agency, you\u2019ll quickly understand why many marketing and PR teams consider media monitoring costs an investment rather than an expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, before you start signing up for media monitoring free trials and evaluating each service against its real cost,<strong> you should first understand the business value of media monitoring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">You can also learn all about using social monitoring for PR from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/social-listening-guide\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/social-listening-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Complete Social Media Listening Guide for Public Relations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"value\"><strong>How media monitoring costs actually <em>save<\/em> businesses money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s true! Media monitoring is a business investment and provides real ROI when you make note of its <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/social-listening-benefits\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/social-listening-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">major benefits<\/a>. Here are the most significant ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It allows the company to \u201chear\u201d what customers love<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your product or service may offer several benefits to the customer, but maybe only one or two of those benefits really get customers excited. Uncovering those special features will allow you to focus on them in your marketing, increasing the effectiveness of your ads and PR campaigns <em>and helping you create more sales<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\">In many ways, <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/daily-media-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media monitoring<\/a> provides the invaluable benefits of hosting a focus group; you\u2019re just sitting behind your computer screen instead of one-way glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are your customers saying they wish your product had <em>this<\/em> or <em>that<\/em>? Are they pointing out what they like better about your competition? With the ear-to-the-ground benefits of media monitoring, you\u2019ll find yourself taking notes not only for the marketing team, but for the product development team as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It creates the opportunity to provide outstanding customer service<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a timely fashion, you can see customer complaints and respond to them quickly. Public responses from the company show a commitment to listening to customers and taking negative feedback seriously. This is your opportunity to turn unhappy customers into loyal customers who provide valuable word-of-mouth referrals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It serves as a collection point for customer testimonials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know that <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/testimonials\/\">customer testimonials<\/a> are PR &amp; marketing gold. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t want to overlook your company\u2019s most loyal, raving fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re committed to media monitoring, you can spot them, reward them, and keep them spreading the word. The social proof and personal recommendations that your best customers provide are worth the cost of media monitoring alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purplebox\">In some cases, you may even spot industry influencers praising your product (in fact, many influencers call out their favorite brands specifically to catch their attention). Your brand would benefit from reaching out to these influencers and arranging future marketing collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It alerts a company early to a potential crisis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From time to time, a company inadvertently releases a marketing campaign, announcement, or product launch that isn\u2019t accepted well by its customers, or even the general public. In these instances, an immediate corporate response is vital, <em>so catching customer sentiment early on is a tremendous advantage.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These early flags are invaluable to anyone <a href=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/effective-online-reputation-management\/\">managing a brand\u2019s reputation<\/a>. Since a brand\u2019s reputation is one of its greatest assets, this makes media monitoring a type of protection, or insurance, tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if you've had enough of writing coverage summaries by hand to report to your stakeholders, tools like Prowly do that for you. Not only can you create <strong>customized alerts filtered by specific keywords, but you can also send automated, AI-summarized digests to external recipients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"1628\" src=\"http:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary.png\" alt=\"ai coverage summary in newspapers\" class=\"wp-image-43853\" style=\"width:410px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary.png 945w, https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary-174x300.png 174w, https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary-594x1024.png 594w, https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary-768x1323.png 768w, https:\/\/prowly.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/print-ai-summary-892x1536.png 892w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of Prowly's daily AI digest summarizing the query \"friskies\"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It highlights what your competition is doing better, and worse, than you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Media monitoring of your competition will put a spotlight on how your customers and potential customers see <em>them<\/em>.
