E-commerce & DTC sponsorship pricing FAQ

How much should a E-commerce & DTC newsletter charge for a sponsor?+

In 2026, E-commerce & DTC newsletters typically command £36–£75 CPM per 1,000 opens for a primary placement. For a list with a 40% open rate, that scales with your actual opens — use the calculator below for your exact number.

What's a fair CPM for E-commerce & DTC in 2026?+

The mid-market rate is around £55 per 1,000 opens. Dedicated sends command a premium; secondary placements and classified text links are priced lower. Exclusivity and peak-season timing push it higher.

Should I charge a flat fee or per signup?+

Either — and SponsorPriceIQ shows you both. E-commerce & DTC audiences convert at roughly 24% of clicks into qualified signups, so we translate your flat rate into a per-signup (CPA) equivalent so a performance deal never costs you money.
