(Optional) Target screens using Tag IDs

Vistar Media deals usually cover thousands of screens.

  • To avoid buying all traffic, carefully select only the screens you need by targeting Tag IDs (TagID = ScreenID).

  • Create a Publisher List with the relevant Tag IDs and apply it under Targeting > Publishers.


Check the instructions to create a new publisher list:

Pricing - Important note

Please note that most Vistar Media deals are non-fixed price deals.

Using a higher CPM will result in overpaying, so it’s important to set the correct value.

Activate your campaign

Once satisfied with the setup and configurations, activate your DOOH campaign.

Wait for approval

The creative approval with Vistar Media happens with the first bid, this means:

  • The media owner starts sending bid requests.

  • Once you upload creatives to your campaign, and are happy with the campaign set up, you should activate the campaign. The campaign starts bidding, not buying.

  • Vistar Media sees an un-approved creative in the bid sent, which automatically pushes this creative to the media owner’s creative approval.

Once approved, the campaign will start buying

Monitor performance closely - using the Campaign Monitor and Health status tools - and adjust in real time if needed.

Recommendations

  • Do not combine multiple SSPs within the same DOOH campaign. If you need to use more than one SSP, create a separate campaign for each. Mixing SSPs in a single campaign can cause issues with how limits are calculated and may prevent you from reaching your campaign goals.

  • Use one deal per strategy when targeting the same SSP for easier troubleshooting.

  • We do not support impression multipliers lower than or equal to 1.

Sync with Mobile to increase reach and interaction

Increase the reach by using DOOH Audience sync. Extend the power of your out-of-home campaigns straight to users’ phones or even CTV.

By serving additional ads to people exposed to your DOOH screens, you create a seamless, high-impact brand experience that drives deeper engagement and results.

Check How to set up DOOH Audience sync.

Alternatively, you can generate a DOOH audience from the beginning of the campaign, so it can be used after the DOOH campaign ends.
