Performance
In late 2020/early 2021, Alex Hillman booked two sponsor slots to promote his book Tiny.MBA and shared the results of his campaign openly afterwards. He sold over 100 books with an impressive conversion rate of close to 8% (resulting in a four-fold ROI). His second sponsor slot a couple of months later performed similarly, but with an even better conversion rate.
(Obviously, every advertising campaign performs differently and these numbers do not present an expected average performance.)

Add some classifieds
Each issue of DD also contains four (4) short, affordable, text-based classified ads towards the bottom. (Scroll down in any issue of our newsletter to see examples).
For an even more impactful campaign, we recommend combining your sponsor slot with a few classified ads to keep the brand top-of-mind with our readers. For instance, you could book a classified ad every other week for two months leading up to your main sponsor slot. You can view available classified slots here. Contact us for advice on how to build a campaign that includes classified ads.
