Read full description
QuinStreet's business model is performance-based, meaning that brands only pay for the results they get. This could be in the form of leads, clicks, or other measurable actions. The company generates revenue by charging brands for these performance outcomes, which are specified in detailed agreements known as Insertion Orders (IOs). These IOs outline the type, quantity, and price of the traffic (visitors) to be delivered, as well as the campaign's start and end dates and any specific criteria for the traffic.
The company's clients are primarily businesses in the financial services and home services sectors. These clients benefit from QuinStreet's ability to deliver highly targeted customer prospects, which helps them achieve better marketing results and higher return on investment (ROI).
QuinStreet's technology and expertise in digital media make it a valuable partner for brands looking to improve their online presence and customer acquisition strategies. By focusing on performance-based marketing, QuinStreet ensures that its clients get the most value for their marketing spend.
