El reto
Publift partnered with Trader Interactive with the goal of delivering strong business outcomes across both programmatic and direct revenue streams. Trader already had a strong ad operations team and ad setup with Header Bidding, Open Bidding, an Amazon integration, as well as good ad density.
However, the team wanted an upgrade in these areas:
- Pruebas A/B rápidas y lanzamiento de nuevas ideas y optimizaciones, para que puedan impulsar fácilmente el rendimiento publicitario.
- Generar confianza entre las partes interesadas internas para liderar cambios a gran escala . Habiendo trabajado con otros editores empresariales, entendemos las complejidades de alinear las estrategias de medios con los objetivos de los equipos de desarrollo y productos.
- Equiparse con una plataforma que permita al equipo de operaciones publicitarias modificar el inventario de visualización sin la necesidad de un amplio soporte de desarrollador.
El enfoque
Trader’s team worked with Publift’s integrated customer success manager to implement optimisations that would improve these metrics:
- RPM de página
- eCPM promedio
- Los ingresos totales
- Average viewability without any negative impact to the traffic of the site.
Con nuestro panel de control empresarial, los comerciantes pueden beneficiarse de nuestra herramienta de prueba A/B, las capacidades de inyección de anuncios de Fuse , implementando tamaños de anuncios y puntos de interrupción fácilmente modificables.
Inyección de anuncios
The key driver to this strategy was through strategic ad unit placements using Fuse’s ad injection through the enterprise platform combined with Publift’s technical expertise.
Unidad de galería
Trader injected a single 300x250px unit appearing between slides in gallery, when the user is viewing photos of the vehicle.
Keeping user experience in mind, we incorporated a promotional thumbnail and set the banner to come up only after 3 photos – this ensured the user was well informed of the upcoming ad unit and could easily skip the ad through to the following slide.
The results of this optimisation was impressive with the CTR achieving over 1.8% and an eCPM over $4. The gallery unit comfortably became the highest earning unit amongst all others.
In Content Units
Multiple in content units were injected onto the listing page, one of the highest visited pages for Trader. These units were placed between a predefined number of listings on the page such that no two in content units would appear on a screen at once.
Unidad de anuncios de banner personalizada para Direct
Con nuestra plataforma empresarial, Trader pudo lanzar nuevas plantillas creativas directas personalizadas en minutos . El trabajo que normalmente llevaría meses probar y construir se ejecutó en horas. Implementamos unidades de patrocinio temporal, creatividades y productos personalizados a través de Fuse.
“TI is impressed with the ability to make changes to our display inventory without the need for a large team of developers. For example, we are able to inject new ad zones without hardcoding the tags on site. This allows for some custom products for niche-advertisers.”
- Paul Cook, Senior Product Manager, Trader Interactive
Optimización del rendimiento
Merely adding ad units and changing layouts isn't sufficient to boost revenue, especially when considering factors like traffic preservation, maintaining inventory quality, and stakeholder expectations.
Un área de enfoque fue mejorar el eCPM promedio total, lo que implicó evaluar los procesos de licitación, las tendencias y el análisis de los anunciantes. Nuestro análisis de las plataformas del lado de la oferta (SSP) condujo a la eliminación de socios de bajo rendimiento, lo que generó cambios positivos en el comportamiento de compra de los anunciantes .
In addition to that, our ad-block recovery solution helped tap in an additional 10% of revenue from users with an active ad-blocker on desktop.
Implementing floor pricing algorithms that analyse and enhance bids in real time contributed to further improvements in the value of the available programmatic inventory.
Pruebas A/B
Publift collaborated with Trader Interactive in biweekly Yield sprints to enhance viewability and CTR without affecting current revenue streams. This was done through controlled low-scale A/B tests and monitoring key performance metrics.
Con el objetivo de alcanzar un umbral de visibilidad del 70 %, utilizamos la carga diferida de Fuse (la carga diferida permite retrasar la presentación de un anuncio en una página web hasta que un usuario llega a un determinado punto de la página), colocando estratégicamente buffers de carga para analizar su impacto en ingresos, impresiones, eCPM y visibilidad.
The Results
Since going live with Publift, Trader Interactive’s programmatic page RPM went up by 88%. The average revenue per day for FY 2023-24 increased by 66% YoY.
In the early stage of onboarding, the average viewability of Trader’s site went up by 62%! This was achieved due improvement of our tag load speed and batch-loading and lazy loading optimisations based on the user behaviour.
Publift was able to help TI rapidly increase the value of our digital display inventory by implementing the Fuse tags. This allowed our ad ops team to manage the method in which we deliver our inventory on our pages. We implemented lazy load to increase viewability which resulted in over-night increase of 85-100% in viewability.
Una vez que se implementó Fuse en En todos los mercados principales de TI, pudimos aumentar la visibilidad de los bloques de anuncios GAM al 70% para fines del tercer trimestre de 2024.
“Publift is a technology but also a partner in our success. It is valuable to have experts in display advertising work directly with TI to accomplish our mutual goals.”
