Publishers Diversity at PartnerCentric
A pain point that our clients with In-house programs often experience is the lack of expertise and connections to find the right opportunities and partners to fit their brand and strategy. Before PartnerCentric, 98% of the revenue for in-house programs was generated from loyalty, content and coupons. In the first 3 months of our account management those same clients have seen not only an increase in productive publishers overall but also the beginnings of more a balanced and diversified program Including BuyNowPayLater, Retargeting and Conversion Tools partners. A clothing and apparel client specializing in high end loungewear came to us looking to build and diversify their program. They had found some success with social ads in the past but were struggling to find the right content creators for their brand as well as making connections with the top cashback and loyalty partners. In the first 6 months of management under PartnerCentric we increased revenue from content partners by 69%. And added an additional 26% of revenue from loyalty/cashback and coupon partners.
