27. What to Expect The email affiliate should expect: To always use only advertiser approved ‘from’ and ‘subject’ lines To prepare a test message prior to every broadcast (broadcast cannot go out unless message is advertiser approved) Specific date and times for campaigns to go out that are agreed upon by advertiser and publisher All leads are subject to approval by advertiser – there is no guaranteed payment on pixel fire. Make sure to understand payment terms prior to doing business, they are often times longer than in the UK or US
28. Segmentation Benefits Higher CPM rates More efficient use of infrastructure Relevance to user The top three fields would be: Gender, age, & postcode
30. Testing We test an offer to our clicker file to gauge performance Offer performance is judged by eCPM If the eCPM is higher than the average eCPM for that list, we will broadcast to the rest of our database
