What is the Admailr Private Marketplace?

The Admailr Private Marketplace allows publishers (content owners and newsletter owners) to manage their ad orders within email publications and newsletters.

Note: Publishers must link their Admailr Advertiser account with their Admailr Publisher account in order to access Private Marketplace options.

Prerequisites

  • An Admailr Advertiser Account
    (If you don’t have one, click here to register.)

  • An Admailr Publisher Account
    (If you don’t have one, click here to register.)

How do I set up my Private Marketplace?

Step 1: Link Your Accounts

Make sure your Publisher account is linked to your Advertiser account.
If your accounts are not linked, click here to learn how. 

Creating Private Ads in the Advertiser Account

  1. Log in to your Advertiser account

  2. On the dashboard, click “CREATE CAMPAIGN.”

    • Or go to Manage → Campaigns → NEW AD CAMPAIGN

Step 1 (Campaign Setup)

  • Enter an Advertiser Name (the advertiser’s name)

  • Enter a Campaign Name (banner name) - This will be how you identify the banner. Use something that describes the banner itself.

  • Set Visibility to Private -This ensures only you (as the Publisher) can see these ads

Click Create to proceed to Step 2.

Step 2 (Banner Setup)

  • Select the banner size from the dropdown

  • Upload your banner image:

    • Click Browse

    • Select your file

    • Click Upload

  • Enter your Destination URL (landing page)

    Must include the full path (e.g. https://www.admailr.com, not just admailr.com). You will not be able to save unless the full path is inserted.

Click Save to proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 (Targeting)

  • Select GEO targeting (currently: US or ALL)

    More GEO options will be added in future updates

Click Save to finish.

You will see a confirmation message:
“Your Private Ads have been saved successfully. It is available in the Publisher account.”
