5 ways to boost revenue from your SME advertisers in 2024
When it comes to digital advertising, small advertisers are often overlooked. Focus often is on shiny key accounts with their “homepage takeovers” or large programmatic campaigns booked by huge networks or agencies.
The concern with small advertisers is always that the high effort is not worth the small budgets. But this is not the fault of the small advertiser. It is the lack of tools to make these long tail advertisers accessible through technology, bundling and intelligent pre- and after-sales approach.
When publishers solve how to book digital advertising for small advertisers, it not only gives them much higher CPMs than all other campaigns but also huge revenue potential with small deal sizes each but almost unlimited deal volume.
In this webinar, Smartico’s Christian Scherbel will cover the 5 top tips, low hanging fruits, instant revenue levers and best practice recommendations for scaling digital advertising with smaller advertisers almost instantly.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How to scale digital advertising with small advertisers.
- What is holding back small advertisers at the moment and how to overcome that.
- How to bundle digital advertising into print campaigns at scale.
- How to win back small advertisers from social media that have stopped doing print advertising.
- How to lift the value of digital campaigns for SMEs by adding SEO as the secret sauce to display ad campaigns.
- How to make the smallest advertisers a profit centre for your company.
- What are the most successful and least successful bundling options for SME digital campaigns.
