True Top 10 (October 2020)

It's the beginning of the month, and I'm bored, so I'm going to experiment with a new feature. How would it be if every month, near the beginning of the month, I reported on the top 10 campaigns from the month before? It's easy to do, thanks to DRMetrix and their AdSphere tool.

For instance, here is your True Top 10 for October 2020:

  1. Bionic Spotlight
  2.  
  3. Guardwell Face Protector
  4.  
  5. Copper Fit Energy Socks
  6.  
  7. Copper Fit Ice Knee Sleeves
  8.  
  9. Finishing Touch Flawless Cleanse
  10.  
  11. Happy Nappers
  12.  
  13. Calming Comfort Calming Heat
  14.  
  15. Bell+Howell TacShaver
  16.  
  17. Touch Screen Purse
  18.  
  19. Alien Tape

Emson takes the top spot. IdeaVillage runs the table with the remaining top five. Allstar dominates the remainder of the list with three campaigns (6, 7 & 9). Strong showings from three of the Big Five.

Let me know if you like this feature, and I just might continue it.

This is the fourth phone wallet tested in DRTV history. The others are: Allstar's Buxton Cell Phone Wallet (2009), Telebrands' TelePurse (2013) and Spark's Touch Purse (2014).

It seems the fourth time is the charm.
