Programmatic Advertising

In the digital landscape, leveraging programmatic advertising is not just a competitive edge; it’s a crucial strategy for brands aiming to scale. In marketing, digital ads are the go-to channel for broadcasting messages to consumers. Allow YGS to help you scale your marketing strategy through programmatic advertising.


Retargeting
Keeping Your Audience Engaged
Create highly targeted ad campaigns that reach your website visitors after they leave
your website—promoting your products, services, events, or membership. YGS supplies
a retargeting pixel for each desired web page, which would send ads to visitors on your
designated page. These ads are served across the Trade Desk Network, which is made up of more than 400 top broadcasters, publishers, and platforms.

Geofencing
Location-Based Advertising That Goes the Distance
This mobile marketing strategy sets a virtual perimeter around your store, competitors’
locations, or related events, capturing cellphone IP addresses when visitors enter. These
hyper-targeted, location-based ads not only maximize ad exposure but also provide powerful analytics, showcasing your views and engagement metrics.

Our team can provide recommendations or work with your goals, audience, and budget. All ads require a 40,000 impression minimum and come with a dashboard that provides real time insight into your campaign including, but not limited to, impressions, clicks, and CTR

Retargeting Campaign

Retargeting is a type of digital advertising that enables marketers to create highly targeted ad campaigns that reach their desired audience across the internet. By utilizing retargeting technology on association websites, marketers capture a prequalified audience to turn association members and supporters into customers of their own. 

Provide your campaign budget and your ads will run until contracted impressions are met on ASBO’s websites. Submitting all materials as recommended will provide the highest placement rate and allow the system to best optimize your ad campaign for performance. Keep the message simple and the text as large and easy-to-read as possible.

Advertiser to provide the materials as noted for the contracted display ads or video for the Retargeting Campaign:

Required Display Ad Assets:

Display banners for both desktop and mobile in all of these sizes:

  • 300×250
  • 300×600
  • 160×600
  • Click-through URL
  • 320×50
  • 300×50
  • 728×90

Recommended Ad Formats:

  • JPG or PNG (Static Image) 
  • GIF (Animated – Max. 15 seconds of looping) 

There is a minimum of 40,000 impressions/month.

Geofencing

Geofencing is the most targeted and effective way to reach an audience that has visited a very specific location at a specific time. For conferences, we start collecting user data on the first day of the show. As users enter the geofenced area their mobile id is collected and we can immediately start to serve your marketing message to this audience. We continue to deliver ads during the conference for an effective “at market” campaign and then target these same users for a week (or more) after the event.

By offering hyper-targeted location-based ads, you will capture the attention of attendees at the annual convention, in their hotels, and even back at their offices and homes after the show. Don’t miss this targeted advertising opportunity!

Option 1:

Device ID or “Lookback” Geofencing

This option allows you to capture attendees from the event location and serve them ads after the event. It’s a great way to keep your brand top of mind with this targeted audience.

  • 40,000 minimum impressions per campaign
  • $40 CPM for Display Ads, $65 CPM for Video Ads
  • One set of creative supplied

Option 2:

Microproximity PLUS Device ID or “Lookback” Geofencing

This option allows you to serve ads to attendees both during and after the event. While attendees are at the event, your ad may highlight a session you are speaking at, a special offsite event you are hosting, or simply direct them to your booth. After the event, you may change your creative to a broader message about your brand.

  • 80,000 minimum impressions per campaign
  • $40 CPM for Display Ads, $65 CPM for Video Ads
  • Two sets of creative may be supplied

Geofencing Specs:

Submit all sizes for maximum reach. This is a mobile-heavy campaign, so the 300×250 and 320×50 will deliver the most impressions. Make the text on your ad as large and easy to read as possible. Consider using an animated GIF with multiple frames for the 320×50 so the text can be large and spread across multiple frames.

Display banners for both desktop and mobile in the following sizes (JPEG or GIF plus the click-through URL) 

  • 728 x 90 pixels 
  • 300 x 250 pixels 
  • 300 x 600 pixels 
  • 160 x 600 pixels 
  • 320 x 50 pixels
