How to read the numbers
A positive ROI does not automatically mean the sponsorship is worth repeating. Compare the CAC, lead quality, customer fit, and assisted impact against your other acquisition channels. For high-ticket SaaS, pipeline may matter more than immediate revenue.
Better ROI starts with better newsletter selection.
Partnership Intel helps you find relevant newsletters, compare fit, discover contact paths, and manage outreach before sponsorship money leaves your account.

Formula used
Revenue is calculated as customers multiplied by revenue per customer, adjusted by your attribution confidence. Gross profit applies your gross margin to that attributed revenue. ROI is calculated as net profit divided by sponsorship cost, multiplied by 100.
