Back a few years, ereaderiq was a great place to advertise and they had bookings so far out, they had to stop taking them. These days they are partnered with booksends and the ads are actually more expensive (and they aren't as effective just because readers have many more options these days). Kindle Nation Daily is another one and the list goes on. There are a BUNCH of places an author can take out ads--but they are likely hitting the same audience over and over because many readers sign up for several "Bargain" listings.
I do think bookbub is looking for new advertisers (they now run some kind of banner ad on the bottom of emails) and also trying new techniques. They have not tried lowering their price. I've run the math and long ago decided I didn't want to take the risk of trying an ad with them. That was probably a mistake, but even early on their ads were over 300 dollars a day. Had they been also listing other retailers...I'd have been more tempted. I don't know if I would have done it because that is a huge amount of money for me, but I've always been wide and think it's a great thing when advertisers also link to other retailers.
