Get ready, newsletter creators! We just released Booker - a revolutionary new tool that makes it easier than ever to book sponsorships. Check it out now on Product Hunt and turn your newsletters into major money-makers.
With Booker, you can embed a seamless sponsorship checkout tool on your website to book new sponsorships in minutes, not months. All you have to do is approve or reject the sponsorship, and Booker handles the rest.
Advertisers who love your newsletter can click a link on your site, buy a sponsorship placement, upload creative assets, and check out fast. And you can close sponsorship deals in record time.
Let's explore this new game-changing workflow tool for instant sponsorship bookings.
What is Booker?
Booker is the first smart workflow solution that streamlines the sponsorship booking process for newsletters.
When potential sponsors click your Booker link, they'll see a high-quality, professional sponsorship booking flow. Here, you can showcase your newsletter with information on recent sends, sponsorship pricing information, calendar availability, and more. Integrated stats from your ESP provide an additional layer of credibility and trust with advertisers.
Next, Booker helps advertisers fill out all the sponsorship details—from creative to checkout—without ever leaving your site. It even generates a preview of the sponsorship, making checkout irresistible. A frictionless checkout process means more money in your pocket.
The best part is that your payout (powered by Stripe) is sent immediately after you accept the sponsorship. All you have to do is approve or reject the sponsorship.
