Background

Goal
Earn more revenue from their email newsletters and increase third-party demand without having to add multiple new tags to their email template.
Solution

Next, Horoscope.com updated their LiveTag configuration to accept a wider variety of ad sizes within the current ad slots in their newsletter ad inventory. The expanded support for more creatives sizes generated incremental demand from advertisers using 970×250 and 970×550 creatives in addition to a 300×250 unit. In the end, Horoscope.com increased demand for their available inventory and improved CPMs without incorporating additional ad slots in their email template.
Results
Horoscope.com saw CPMs increase by 44% and generated 55% more revenue from their email newsletters YoY from only 7% more impressions.
