Publish display ads with Mixpo

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Have you been longing to resolve, once and for all, whether an Xspot or display ad drives more conversions?

Have you been eager to jump in to the rich-media-with-video space but aren’t sure how to get started?

Or, do you just want one straightforward approach to publishing and tracking the performance of all types of digital ads your advertisers want to run?

Now you can achieve all of these goals in the Mixpo platform.

Upload display ad files

If an advertiser has an image or .swf Flash file, you can upload that file to the Mixpo platform. Then, you can publish, run, and track the performance of the display ad just the way you can with Xspots.

In addition, if an advertiser is running TV spots and display ads as part of the same campaign, you can upload both the Flash and video files to create a display ad that expands to an Xspot.

The platform supports all of the common display ad sizes (and you can provide a custom size). As the following examples of an expanding 250×250 display ad illustrate, you have a lot of control over expansion size and direction.

Impressions and views mean conversions

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Impressions, views, clicks, and other engagement data provide advertisers with a useful picture of how well an Xspot is performing.

But, in the final analysis, what advertisers really want to measure is the numbers of sales that can be tied to a specific ad campaign.

In the Mixpo platform, you now have the possibility of measuring just that.

With our new Conversion Tracking feature, you can learn how many people visit one or more conversion pages on the advertiser’s website after:

  • Landing on the webpage where an Xspot is embedded (Had Impression(s)).
  • Viewing the Xspot (Had View(s)).

This not only gives advertisers deeper insight into the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

As Aaron Reinitz, in Clicks, Cookies, Conversions, and Cough Drops, points out, it also provides valuable feedback on any barriers that might exist in their website conversion or purchase processes.
