Publishers offering "Newsletter Top Ad" spots

A newsletter top ad is the sponsor spot at the very top of an email newsletter, usually a logo with a short line of copy or a banner. Publishers like Pitchwall and There's An AI For That sell it, and it is the first thing readers see.

How it's sold: Nineteen publishers list it, all by email. It is booked by contacting the publisher or through a simple booking page, and some publishers sell it per send.
Typical price: It depends on how the publisher sells it: USD 300 per send, USD 89 per month, or USD 187.50 per placement at the median.
What you supply: A logo, one to three lines of copy, a link and sometimes a banner.
Best for: The most visible spot in a newsletter, for a launch or an offer.
Before you buy: Request the open rate and the number of subscribers, and check whether other advertisers share the top placement.
