First, we only works with quality partners who have integrity and products/services we believe in. Our goal at TWiT is to find partners who are interested in establishing long-term relationships with us. Leo and I review all potential partners which includes researching the company and its founders. We both have to be 100% satisfied with a new partner before we will do business with them. Why? Because our integrity means everything to us.
Second, we are extremely selective in how many ads we are willing to place on our shows. Our advertising strategy consists of two partner ads on a show, we do not exceed four partners on any given show, and we spend a lot of time on the messaging with our partners to critique it for our audience. Why do we do this? Because it works! We have tested advertising campaigns and audience recall. We discovered there was an 80% increase in ad recall if we had two ads for each partner on a show. Our two ad process combined with fewer ads on a show increase the effectiveness of our ads. It's our goal at TWiT to deliver quality products/services that our audience wants while limiting the number of ads in a show.
