Replace a running VideoAd

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

If you create VideoAds using the Mixpo platform, you’ve probably already taken advantage of one of the platform’s greatest benefits: VideoAds are never final.

You can update them at any time in response to performance analytics or seasonal promotions. Changes you make go live immediately.

But sometimes updating simply isn’t enough. Businesses relocate. Staff members come and go. New products and services are introduced. New campaigns are launched. There will be times when it’s necessary to replace a running VideoAd with a new one.

In the Mixpo platform, we provide you with an extremely convenient option for seamlessly replacing a running VideoAd without ever having to copy and paste any embed code.

Here’s a summary of how you do it:

  • In the Dashboard, locate the VideoAd you want to replace, and click the delete button.
  • In the Delete VideoAd window, select the option for replacing the deleted VideoAd with a different VideoAd.

Without any interruption in service, the new VideoAd appears in the banner ad space previously occupied by the original VideoAd.

OK, you might be thinking, that’s slick, but what exactly does deleting the out-of-date VideoAd mean?

  • While deleting a VideoAd removes it from the Your VideoAds list in the Dashboard, you don’t lose the performance data associated with the deleted ad. You can always retrieve that data in Advanced Analytics.
  • Video clips and images that appear only in the deleted VideoAd will no longer be available from your Mixpo media library. You can always upload the assets again if you need them.
