Digital Marketing - Study Notes:
Display
There are three display buying mechanisms to remember when we're planning our activity, including a fixed cost and auction buying mechanisms.
- CPM: We have premium fixed price, which is usually a cost per thousand or a CPM. The campaign is based on a fixed price set by your advertising platform for every 1,000 impressions that that ad receives. In premium buys, this usually involves a bespoke creative.
- CPC: In the auction, we have the option to bid on a CPC (cost per click) basis. In cost per click, we set a limit as to how much we're willing to pay for somebody to click on our ads.
- CPC: In the auction, we also have the option to bid on a VCPM (visible cost per thousand) basis. In visible CPM, we're setting the limit as to how much we're willing to pay for every 1,000 impressions that we receive.
Video
With YouTube, we have two main buying mechanisms available for our advertisers.
- Premium buys: Our premium buys are our mastheads, which is the equivalent to a homepage takeover, which takes over the homepage of the desktop of the mobile site for a day in that market. Or you have a reserved buy, which is guaranteed delivery of a certain volume of video impressions against a broad targeting audience segment.
- Auction buys: With auction buys, often referred to as TrueView, the advertiser pays, and the user chooses to engage based on their bidding model of choice.
