Why it matters
Time
Building an ad proposal manually — researching a prospect's site, picking keywords, writing compelling copy, estimating a defensible budget — takes hours and paid media expertise most partners don't have in-house. Vendasta Ads compresses that into minutes and hands off fulfillment entirely to Vendasta Services, so any partner can pitch digital advertising with confidence.
Even partners with media experts on staff benefit: Vendasta Ads gives a quick, consistent way to sell smart, simple campaigns to the bulk of their clientele, freeing the in-house team for bigger projects. Easy to plan, easy to sell, easy to report on.
Profitability
Small budgets don't cover the labor associated with selling and managing digital ad campaigns. Big accounts don't cover the risk. Vendasta Ads eliminates the profitability problems that surface when a client's spend is too small to be worth the hours or too large to manage without adding headcount.
Who it's for
  • Partners that want to add or expand a revenue stream without increasing headcount
  • Partners without paid media expertise who want to sell with confidence
  • Sales-focused partners that prefer to outsource fulfillment
  • Partners working with a wide range of budgets
  • Partners looking to standardize and streamline their ad sales process
  • [At this time] partners serving businesses in the United States and Canada
Note: Vendasta Ads in Partner Center is not available to partners with a dedicated MatchCraft instance. Please direct any questions to your Account Manager.
