Targeting

In Vistar’s DSP, you can add targeting to run your campaigns on different formats and locations of DOOH (digital out-of-home) inventory. You can layer multiple targeting options on your campaigns to reach specific inventory.

Targeting using the DSP API currently supports only venue, venue type, publisher, and deal targeting. Other targeting options will follow.

You can see a campaign’s current targeting using the Get Campaign Targetings API and set targetings on a campaign using the Set Campaign Targetings API.

Targeting Options

venue_targeting_optionobject(Venue Targeting)

Target specific venues (screens).

You can include or exclude venues.

  • Use the venue’s targeting ID. This ID is available from the Vistar SSP platform and the venue drop file.
  • You can target up to 2,500 venues.
  • Venues must be in the same country as the campaign.
Example:
{ "venue_targeting_ids": [ "tVcQWUFuTJ2OAr88vwi-Dg-XN3GJTIIOI", "tVcQWUFuTJ2OAr88vwi-Dg-MHIYWB5RHX", "k6BCwQDOTJmcZYhgTV_9wA-FL056FMCCS01", "k6BCwQDOTJmcZYhgTV_9wA-AZ120AACLD01", "4500pvspR3SlFLXP0iU17A-BAR-112617", "7rLsD2w8SfmOwNGotS4o_g-NYC9093RD" ], "exclude": false }
deal_targeting_optionobject(Deal Targeting)

Target deals and curations.

  • Use the Vistar deal ID.
  • You can target public deals and one-to-one deals.
  • You can target up to 100 deals.
  • You can't add or remove deal targeting after a campaign is activated.
  • Adding deal targeting automatically sets a campaign’s deal_bid_strategy to FLOOR. The campaign then always bids the floor price of targeted deals and uses the configured CPM as the maximum CPM. To change this behavior, update the campaign’s deal_bid_strategy to OPEN.
  • Adding deal targeting doesn't adjust the campaign’s CPM, so be mindful of the deal’s pricing and set your CPM accordingly.
Example:
{ "deal_ids": [ "OaQqQrsnSIS89FkQFzrR3w", "w7_lwxwiSl6Kwg_tUxIXkA", "4LLHNrnvTTWD4I3XG0TNHw" ] }
publisher_targeting_optionobject(Publisher Targeting)

Target specific publishers (media owners).

  • Use the Vistar publisher id (also known account id or media owner id).
  • Publishers must be in the same country as the campaign.
  • You can include or exclude publishers.
venue_type_targeting_optionobject(Venue Type Targeting)

Target specific venue types.

Media owners define their screen venue types.

Example:
{ "venue_type_ids": [ "3", "105", "801" ], "exclude": false }
{ "venue_targeting_option": { "venue_targeting_ids": [ … ], "exclude": false }, "deal_targeting_option": { "deal_ids": [ … ] }, "publisher_targeting_option": { "publisher_ids": [ … ], "exclude": false }, "venue_type_targeting_option": { "venue_type_ids": [ … ], "exclude": false } }
