What Vendor Paid Advertising Is
Vendor paid advertising - sometimes called vendor-funded marketing - is when the seller contributes funds to the digital ad campaign that promotes their listing. The agency runs the campaign on the vendor's behalf, invoices the campaign line items, and reports back on reach, engagement and lead volume.
It is one of the cleanest ways to fund great property marketing because incentives line up: the vendor sees the value, the agency delivers stronger creative and broader reach, and the listing moves faster.
What a Strong Vendor Paid Schedule Includes
A well-built vendor paid schedule covers more than a single Just Listed ad. It usually includes a Just Listed campaign across Google and social, an Open Home reminder, an Auction or Closing campaign in the final week, and a Just Sold broadcast that doubles as prospecting for the next listing in the area.
Each line item should be itemised on the invoice so the vendor can see exactly what they are funding.

How Much Vendors Typically Contribute
Contributions vary by market and price point. In Australia and New Zealand, digital-only vendor contributions typically range from $500 to $3,000 per listing. In the US and UK, the range is similar after currency conversion. The right number is the one that funds enough reach to move the listing - not a fixed percentage.
Reporting That Vendors Actually Understand
The fastest way to lose vendor trust is to report on impressions alone. The fastest way to keep it is to show reach, engagement, and lead volume in a one-page branded PDF.
AdPropix generates this report automatically at the end of every campaign so agencies never have to build it manually.
