There are no perfect answers. You must understand the needs of your target audiences and bring them an offer that matches their expectations.

Tips:

Create several campaigns with equivalent budgets and duration. In each of these campaigns, try different variations such as:

  • Different targeting options
  • Different calls to action
  • Different colors
  • Different titles

Although technology brings us many facilities in the creation and management of campaigns, it remains that you address real users and potential customers. It is extremely important to always keep this element in mind when creating your campaigns. Be clear, precise, and respectful of the promises you make to our users.

Each publisher determines its own CPI rate (Cost Per Impression). In other words, each time your visual is displayed based on your instructions with no segment or targeting limit.

As a reference, the CPI will be displayed on your performance reports. We also ask you to specify a maximum daily budget. We will never go beyond this maximum budget, but since we cannot control the supply and demand, if we do not have enough available impressions, we will only charge you for the actual number of impressions delivered.

We do not charge differently for each variable, segment or keyword. We use a unique rate.

Your statement can be found on the home page of our Ad Center, by clicking on the PDF link of the corresponding campaign.

Note that your first invoice will be available 7 days after the start of the campaign or when a certain amount is reached, based on the impressions delivered. Your final invoice can take from 48 to 72 hours to be produced after a campaign has ended. This is primarily due to the final confirmation step, which ensures that you are only billed for the impressions that were delivered.
