In today’s media industry, many publishers work with other publishers in order to benefit from a high-quality broad portfolio and existing advertising network that is difficult to build alone. In addition, publishers work with marketers to reduce their own sales efforts and costs, strengthen their sales channel, and increase revenue.
Nevertheless, these co-operations often lead to a complex network of contracts with terms and payout issues resulting in time-consuming tasks for the publishers who are expanding their range of services by purchasing additional content and placements. To overcome these problems ADvendio has introduced the Publisher Payout feature.
Complex Publisher Contracts: The Cause for Error-prone Processes
Dealing with many publishers means additional contracts and ad inventory, along with a complex system of payment terms. This often leads to a blurred and overwhelming network of documents and excel sheets which can be easy to lose track of.
It becomes particularly difficult when marketers are preparing media campaigns that contain ad inventory from many publishers with various payment conditions. All this information for individual publishers must be pulled from the media campaign and assigned to the contract which can be both a time consuming and error-prone effort.
To calculate the payout amounts manually many complex steps are necessary. The sold inventory needs to be combined and compared with the actual delivery numbers from the ad server and a large number of payment conditions for various publishers. This makes the process extremely slow and error-prone. Additionally, it can occur that parts of the inventory are sold too cheaply and as the publisher contracts are not in the same system as the sales control and order processing, this results in incorrect payouts, discrepancies and additionally prolonged and time-consuming efforts.
