Publisher Optimizations led to 55% YoY Growth in November 2020


At JEBCommerce, our team takes a data-driven approach to optimization. Leveraging data with our processes helped us identify an opportunity to test a new TM+ partner with a client in the Health & Wellness vertical, driving 55% YoY increase in revenue in November 2020.

Leveraging TM+ rights, our management team was able to negotiate additional placements, including a dedicated blog post, week-long top merchant placement on the homepage and a category sponsorship for the rest of the quarter. This pivot led to $17,844 in revenue for the month of November from a dormant publisher who didn’t drive any traffic or revenue last year.

Here are a few additional optimization tactics that led to strong YoY growth for this client:

  • We tested a placement package with a coupon publisher that included a homepage placement, newsletter, and several social media posts, which helped drive $3,551 in revenue in November 2020 vs. $0 last year.
  • Increasing revenue with a loyalty publisher led to a strong increase, driving $21,570 this year vs. $8,903 last year.
  • A 2% commission increase with a sub-affiliate network led to significant YoY growth
  • Activation efforts with new publishers led to 11 more publishers driving revenue this year vs. last year.
  • Lastly, optimizing text link creative to focus on top selling products helped drive additional revenue.
