Bookings

Once you have completed and saved the Campaign header (as explained in the Add a campaign section), the next step is to create one or more bookings. This chapter explains each property of a booking, including all available options.

Uploading creatives before adding one or more bookings to the campaign is possible. However, a live preview of the creatives is not possible until a position is defined. A position is defined when a booking is created.

Add a booking

To add a booking to a campaign:

1. Go to the Campaign overview. Click on Campaigns in the left-hand navigation menu of Adhese.
2. Click the campaign for which you want to add a booking. The Header tab of the campaign opens.
3. Click the Bookings tab. The Booking overview will appear. It lists all bookings created for the selected campaign.
   
4. To create a new booking, click the Add booking button. This opens the Header tab of the booking. Here, you can specify the location (where), time (when), method (how), and audience (to whom) for serving the creatives of this booking.
   

It depends on the client which fields are compulsory to complete. To save a booking, you must select a position in the Where section. If you do not fill in a mandatory field, you can still save the booking, but the required fields will be set to their default values.

Where

The Where section allows you to select a position (i.e. a combination of location and format) to determine where a booking and its associated creatives should be served.

Add a position

To choose a position:

1. Click Add position. The Search publication, location & format modal window opens.
2. Choose a position by selecting a publication, location, and format.

Selecting a publisher at the campaign level (see internal) will filter the relevant positions for bookings within that campaign.

If you have selected a position, the overview will provide data on its forecasted volume based on position averages. These averages represent the range of impressions or contacts that can be reached with 95% certainty.

3. Click the Save button to save your position.

Forecasting figures and position averages

Adhese displays the forecasting figures and position averages based on the position selected in the booking's Header tab. These figures offer an initial indication of whether the booking will meet its impression objective.

The position averages change based on the profile targets you choose in the next step (see Campaign targeting).

If the position is overbooked, the variable Booked from the forecasting figures will exceed 100%. Whether your booking will deliver and meet its goals depends on the priority of competing bookings (i.e. bookings made for the same position as your booking). If the number of impressions from the booking is less than the number of Needed impressions, the booking is not expected to reach its goal and the background colour of the forecast will turn red.

For more information about these numbers, refer to Forecasting figures and Position averages.

Exclude publications and positions

When you select a channel (or a group of positions), two additional links will appear. These links enable you to exclude specific publications and/or positions from the channel.

To exclude one or more publications:

1. Click the Exclude publications link. The Excluded publications modal window opens.
2. Select the publications you wish to exclude.
3. Click the Save button.

To exclude one or more positions:

1. Click the Exclude positions link. The Excluded positions modal window opens.
2. Select the positions you wish to exclude.
3. Click the Save button.

When

The When section of the Booking header lets you schedule the delivery period by adjusting the days and times of the booking.

You can schedule the delivery period based on the following variables:

• In the From field, select a start date from the calendar and pick a starting hour. The default setting is 00:00:00.
• In the Until field, select an end date from the calendar and pick an ending hour. The default setting is 23:59:59.
• In the Set day(s) online field, select the days of the week on which you would like the booking to be delivered. You can use this property to exclude certain days from delivery. The default setting is All days of the week. When this box is ticked, individual days can be selected or deselected.
  
  
• In the Hours/day field, enter the time of day at which you would like the booking to be delivered. You can exclude specific hours from delivery, such as between 9 pm and 7 am. The default time setting is 00:00:00 - 23:59:59. To adjust the time setting:
  1. Click 00:00:00 - 23:59:59. A horizontal scrollbar appears.
  2. To adjust the daily starting hour, click the left square and slide it to the right.
  3. To adjust the daily ending hour, click the right square and slide it to the left.
  4. Click the OK button.

How

The How section of the Booking header tab lets you specify the booking's delivery method. For example, you can select 'all-together' in the Combination section or choose whether the booking should compete with RTB revenue in the RTB section.

Delivery method

The delivery method determines how impressions of a booking are distributed throughout the day. A frequency cap can restrict this delivery.

Select one of the following three options from the Delivery method drop-down list: Share of Voice (SOV), Auto, or Rotation.

New targets & forecasting: New targets lack forecast data and are therefore best used in combination with the SOV setting. When used with the auto setting, the system will try to calculate an estimated share. However, with many competing bookings on that same target, only some will likely receive a share. The other bookings will only start delivering once forecast data is available, which can take a week.

Share of voice (SOV)

The Share of Voice (SOV) delivery method gives a percentage or share (as defined by the delivery percentage) of the position's expected volume of impressions (voice). The delivery percentage indicates how frequently a booking will be delivered. A higher percentage means the booking will be delivered more frequently. For example, if the delivery percentage is 20%, the booking will be delivered once for every five impressions.

To adjust the delivery percentage:

1. Click the delivery percentage in the Delivery percentage field and either
2. Slide the yellow square to the desired percentage, or insert the desired percentage by hand.
3. Click the blue OK button.

Delivery times may also be affected by other factors, such as traffic volume and competing bookings with higher priority, which can cause deviations from the desired schedule.

ASAP - If you want to set a goal (see How: To reach) and achieve it as quickly as possible, set the delivery percentage to 100%.

Auto

Suppose the delivery method is set to Auto. In this case, Adhese will determine the percentage of impressions delivered by the selected booking, taking into account its properties and those of competing bookings. Adhese will always aim to deliver impressions evenly. However, variations in daily delivery may occur due to competing bookings with a higher priority or a shorter time span.

When using Auto as the delivery method, you must provide a volume in the To reach field of the booking (or on campaign level). Refer to the next paragraph for more information on the To reach field.

Rotation

The Rotation delivery method aims to start and stop bookings without changing the properties of competing bookings. Rotation ensures that competitive bookings with the same priority and delivery method have an equal chance of being delivered. For instance, if three bookings with the same priority are booked on the same position, whether in one campaign or separate campaigns, each booking will be displayed randomly for 33% of the time. Similarly, when ten bookings are booked, each one will be displayed for 10% of the time.
The Rotation delivery method is often used to fill unsold inventory, but it only works when all bookings are 100% identical. It is typically used for in-house (or stopper) campaigns and is displayed when no higher-priority campaigns have been booked.

Rotation is not a default setting in all Adhese accounts.

You cannot combine rotation with other settings, such as all-together and exclusive.

We highly recommend using one creative per rotation booking. Using multiple creatives per booking with a rotation delivery schedule can result in the booking not being delivered in accordance with the creatives' share. For example, even if both creatives have a share of 50%, it is possible that one creative will deliver significantly more impressions than the other.

To reach

In the To reach field, enter the desired number of impressions, clicks, etc. that you want the booking to receive. Once this volume has been reached, the booking's delivery will stop.

The forecasting figures for a booking will change according to the To reach volume and will predict whether or not a booking will achieve its goals.

If a booking delivery stops before reaching the desired volume, multiple goals may have been combined. Check the volume at the campaign level to ensure that the goals do not overlap. If multiple goals have been combined, make sure there is a logical connection between the target volume of the campaign and the individual bookings.

Unit

Select one of the following objectives from the Unit drop-down:

• Impressions
• Clicks
• Unique visitors
• Tracking of specific events, such as leads, purchases, etc.

Impressions and clicks are implemented by default. Unique visitors and events can be applied on request.

Combination or delivery multiples

The use of this functionality depends on the type of implementation. For more information on this topic, please contact support.

The Combination feature allows you to combine or exclude multiple bookings within a campaign.

If none of the options for the Combination feature are selected, the campaign's bookings will be displayed independently from each other. Consider a campaign that contains bookings for three different positions on the same page. The page can show zero, one, two or all three bookings.

Exclude delivery

To exclude a booking, determine whether the exclusive setting should be applied to the advertiser, the campaign, or the creative.

If you tick the advertiser box, the current booking must not be delivered with any other booking from the same advertiser.

If you tick the campaign box, the current booking must not be delivered with any other booking from the current campaign.

If you tick the creative box, a creative linked to that booking can only be delivered once to the web page. This is useful if multiple formats with the same dimensions are requested on a web page, and a creative should only be displayed once on that page. Other creatives in the same campaign or coupled with the same booking can still be delivered on the same webpage.

Combine delivery

If you want to combine the delivery, it is essential to consider that the combined bookings must have identical delivery periods.- To use the Combination feature, navigate to the Header tab of the booking and select the leading format based on the Trigger Order setting. The trigger order determines the placement of formats on a web page by setting a number that indicates where the format is in a sequence of formats. Therefore, the leading format has a lower trigger order (number 1) than the formats of the bookings (numbers 2 and 3) with which it is combined.

• Only the leading format needs an assigned volume.

  Only assign a volume to the leading booking. Doing otherwise will result in problems with the delivery of the linked bookings.

  When combining two bookings with subformats, ensure their main formats have a set trigger order.

  The follow-up bookings can only be trafficked with a single creative.

To combine the delivery of one, several, or all bookings with the current leading booking:

1. Tick the Together with box. The Select the bookings running together modal window opens:
   

   The leading booking is highlighted in a darker colour. In the example above, the Leaderboard format runs from 26/10/2015 to 31/10/2015 and has an assigned volume. Bookings that can be delivered together with the leading format are also shown.

2. Tick the checkboxes of the bookings you wish to deliver together with the current booking.

   • You cannot tick the boxes of bookings booked in the same position as the current booking.
   • The radio button copies the delivery period, targeting properties and volumes of the checked booking.
   • Once it has been determined which bookings are delivered together, they will behave as a single booking. Therefore, if you modify the delivery period, targeting properties and/or volumes of the leading booking, the properties of the accompanying bookings will adjust accordingly.

3. In the following screenshot, the Leaderboard and Halfpage formats will be delivered simultaneously. The delivery of the combination will start on 26/10/2015 and end on 31/10/2015, with a volume of 50.000.
   

4. Click the Save button in the upper right corner of the modal window. The bookings will now behave as one booking.

The How section of the Booking header for booking 83 (Leaderboard) is as follows:

In contrast, the How section of the Booking header for booking 72 (Halfpage) is as follows:

Booking priority

The priority of a campaign is set at header level. The default setting for this box is 'Use campaign priority'. Use one of the settings in the dropdown if you want the booking to be set to a different priority.

RTB

Determine whether the booking can compete with Real-Time Bidding or RTB by enabling the Compete with RTB checkbox.

In the above image, the default RTB value for the chosen campaign priority states that the booking cannot compete with RTB. The on radio button is ticked to allow for competition.

Optimise CPC

Bookings with multiple creatives can be optimised for CPC. When more than one creative is coupled to a booking, you can let Adhese optimise it so that the best-performing creatives are prioritised over the less-performing ones.

Enabling CPC optimisation will make Adhese gradually adjust the weights to benefit better-performing creatives.

impressions A	clicks A	impressions B	clicks B	share A	share B
0	0	0	0	0.5	0.5
1000	12	1000	8	0.59	0.41
1000	15	1000	5	0.73	0.27
1000	20	1000	0	0,95	0.05

In the example above, you can see that each creative gets a 50% share at the start of the campaign. Once both creatives have reached 1000 views, their weights are adjusted. Creative A's percentage becomes 0.59, while B's becomes 0.41. This process is repeated after every 1000 impressions.

User frequency cap

The Constraints section in the Booking header enables Adhese to limit the number of times it delivers an advertisement to a unique visitor within a defined period. This process is also referred to as frequency capping.

Remember that the unique identification of visitors and the storage of personal and other data are subject to national, European, and international legislation. It is the exclusive responsibility of the publisher to comply with the law and adequately notify the user of its rights. Adhese can help and advise publishers here. More on user privacy is available in the GDPR section of the documentation.

Adhese won't deliver a campaign with a frequency cap to implementations without any consent integration or to visitors who do not accept cookies (see The user privacy settings of a browser).

To add user frequency cap:

1. Click Add user frequency cap. The Add user frequency cap box opens.
   

2. To set a user frequency cap, specify the following details:

   • Enter the number of times a booking may be delivered in a given time period in the Cap on impressions field.
   • Select a constraint level from the Constraint level drop-down menu (in the above screenshot, it is set as booking). The constraint level determines the level at which an individual visitor's cap (or the number of impressions) should be taken into account before delivery of the current booking is stopped. Select one of the following options:
     • Booking level. The visitor's capping volume increases each time an impression for the selected booking is delivered. If the maximum number of impressions for a booking is reached (as determined by CAP), the booking will no longer be served to this specific visitor, regardless of the number of creatives attached to the booking. For instance, if the cap is set at 1 and 2 creatives are attached to one booking, only one creative will be displayed.
     • Campaign level. The visitor's capping volume increases with each impression of any booking within the campaign. Once the maximum number of impressions is reached for the entire campaign, delivery of the selected booking will cease. For example, if a campaign includes two bookings, booking A without a capping limit and booking B with a frequency cap of 3 at the campaign level, after three impressions for the campaign, regardless of the booking, booking B will no longer be served to the visitor.
     • Traffic level. At the traffic level, the visitor capping volume applies to each combination of a booking and its attached creatives. For example, if three creatives are attached to the booking and the frequency cap is set at 3, the booking will be delivered a maximum of 9 times before the frequency cap is reset. It is important to note that each combination of a booking and a creative will be delivered three times.
   • The number of impressions per unique visitor can be reset after a defined period in the Resetting section. To set the duration period of a frequency cap, choose one of the following options:

     • Never. If this option is selected, the frequency cap will never reset. Once the frequency cap is reached, the booking or creative will no longer be displayed.

     • Every … hours. The frequency cap resets at fixed intervals, counting from midnight. If you want the cap to reset every 5 hours, it will be reset at midnight, 5 a.m., 10 a.m., 3 p.m., and 8 p.m.

       We recommend setting a minimum frequency cap that resets every three hours

     • … hours/minutes after first impression. The frequency cap resets after a set period of time based on the visitor's first impression. For instance, if the cap is set at 2 and you want to reset it 3 hours after the first impression, the booking will be offered a maximum of twice between 10 am and 1 pm. The frequency cap will reset at 1 pm. The duration of the frequency cap will be taken into account when the surfer makes a subsequent visit after 1 pm.

A frequency cap resets after a visitor deletes cookies from their browser. Therefore, a capped campaign will only be shown on the second page view, as Adhese needs to check whether the visitor accepts cookies first.

A frequency cap does not affect the forecasting figures for a booking. The inventory figures will remain the same regardless of the frequency cap.

Delivery limit

The Delivery limit section lets you specify a maximum delivery limit of impressions or clicks per day or hour for a booking.

To add a Delivery limit:

1. Click Add limit. The Delivery limit box appears:
   

2. Choose between a Daily or an Hourly limit and between Impressions or Clicks

3. Fill in the maximum number of Impressions (or Clicks)

4. You can combine several delivery limits:
   

   In the example above, the booking has a maximum of 10 000 daily impressions with a maximum of 4 000 per hour.

Targeting

The targeting section allows you to deliver bookings when specific targets are present or absent (negative targeting). For more elaborate information about targeting, check this page.

To add a target to a booking, click Add ... next to the targeting categories:

When clicking on a target category, you will get a pop-up window with available targets in that category. Here you can select the targets you want active on the booking:

When you select multiple targets, it's important to take several things into account:

1. Two or more active targets within the same target category exist in an OR relation. Meaning at least one or the other must be present for the booking to be delivered.
2. Target categories themselves exist in an AND relation. That is, if there are two targets, each in a different category, both targets must be present for the booking to be delivered.
3. When you have multiple targets and multiple categories, both OR and AND relations exist. If you have two targets each in two categories, the two targets in the same category will be in an OR relation and the two categories will be in an AND relationship, which means that one target of each category must be present for the booking to be delivered.

Be careful when mixing positive and negative targets in the same category. A positive target in the same category as a negative target can cancel out the negative target. If the positive target is present, the booking will be delivered (since it's in an OR relation, only one target needs to be present), even if the target that needs to be excluded is present. You can solve this by making a combined target. For more information, see the Targeting page.

Targets make a booking more specific and, therefore, count towards its priority. A booking with targets active will take priority over a booking without, provided the actual priority level is equal.

Bulk activating targets

To activate multiple targets at once, follow these steps:

1. Click Add on the target category you wish to add targets to, the targeting screen will open:
2. Select Bladeren (Browse), your file manager will open.
3. Select a CSV file containing the ID's of the targets you want to activate. The ID's should be listed underneath each other under the first column of the CSV file:
4. As soon as the CSV file is selected, the requested targets will be selected:
5. Click Save, the bookings will be selected in the bookings interface:

Booking price

The Price section in the Booking header allows you to specify the pricing details of a booking, including the pricing model and the corresponding unit price.

The input fields below are optional and do not impact the start or delivery of a campaign.

• Select the pricing model you want to use to charge a client from the Pricing type drop-down list. The available options are:
  • CPM or cost per mille, the cost per thousand impressions for an ad.
  • CPD or cost per day, the daily cost to serve an ad.
  • CPC or cost per click, the cost for a single click on an ad.
  • CPL or cost per lead, the cost per action, such as a download, subscription to a newsletter, request of a brochure, …
  • CPP or cost per period is the cost for a fixed delivery period, independent of the number of impressions or clicks.
  • ADM or administrative cost, a cost that is unrelated to a volume or time.
• In the Unit price field, set the price a client will pay per thousand impressions, per day, per click, per lead or per purchase.
• The Calculated price field multiplies the unit price by the reached volume of the pricing type.
• Click the Add discount link to add a discount or surplus (as a percentage or fixed number). This will open the Add discount modal window, where you can select the Discount type and add a comment. Discounts are typically applied for high volumes of impressions purchased or specific packages.
• The Total price is calculated by subtracting the discount or adding the surplus to the base price.
• The Campaign budget field displays the budget of the campaign.

Bid Optimisation

Bid optimisation is a custom feature that requires setup. Please contact support if you're interested in this feature.

Bid Optimisation does not work with "Clicks" as a to reach value or any pricing types that aren't "CPM"

Bid optimisation is a buy-side feature that allows the ad server to dynamically change the CPM of an ad to bid as low as possible. The ad server lowers the CPM until bids are lost, at which point the CPM will rise again. The bid optimisation feature aims to keep the CPM as low as possible while losing a minimal amount of bids.

Bid optimisation can be enabled by clicking the Optimise bidding checkbox in the Price section of the booking screen.

Booking info & metadata

Info

• (Optional) In the Booking Name field, you can enter a name for the booking.
• (Optional) In the External key field, enter an external ID or key if there is a link to an external party or system, such as a third-party ad server or accounting system.

To upload creatives via the Hotfolder, you must provide a unique external key that connects a creative with a booking.

• (Optional) Provide a comment in the Comment field.

Metadata

You can create custom metadata fields to add to a booking. Metadata provides additional information about the booking and facilitates comparison and benchmarking of similar bookings. Additionally, metadata can prevent the display of competitive advertisers, such as two car brands, on the same web page.

To add metadata to a booking, you must first create a booking property in your Adhese account. This feature is restricted to users with Admin rights.

1. Go to the Administration screen. Click Admin in the left navigation menu.
2. Under General, click Booking properties.
3. Enter the name of the booking property in the first (or left) Group field.
4. Enter a code or ID for the booking property in the second (or right) Group field. The code should be equivalent to the property's name.
5. Click the Save button.
6. In the Elements field, enter the different options of the booking property. Enter a name in the left field and a code or ID in the right field.
7. Click the Save button. You can now add an additional option to the booking property.

After creating a booking property, a new section appears in the Header tab of a booking: User Metadata. You can now add a booking property by choosing an option from the drop-down menu.

Saving a booking

To save the booking, click on the Save button. If you click on the arrow next to this button, a drop-down menu of saving options will appear:

Save and create booking	Saves the current booking and opens a new create booking screen

Save and go to traffic screen	Saves the current booking and goes to the traffic screen for that booking

Booking dashboard

Each overview of an individual booking is equipped with a booking dashboard. This dashboard is located beneath the Campaign dashboard.

This dashboard shows the following booking data and metrics:

• Start and end date of the booking;
• Total number of days the booking is running, together with a progress bar indicating the number of days that have passed;
• Total number of booked impressions;
• Reached impressions or the total number of served impressions, up until the last hour;
• Percentage of served impressions in relation to the booked impressions, with a pie chart indicating the progress. If the percentage is higher than 100%, it indicates that more impressions have been served than initially requested;
• Total number of impressions for the past seven days
  • A bar chart denotes the daily impressions. The weekends are indicated with a darker colour, while today is coloured orange;
  • Below this bar chart, you see the number of impressions that have already been served today;
• Delivery rate (DR), or the total number of delivered impressions, served as a percentage of the expected impressions until now. The DR indicates the speed of the delivery of a booking. For more information about the delivery rate, refer to Delivery overview;
• % Inventory or the inventory share: the percentage of the position's available inventory reserved by the selected booking.
• Total number of delivered clicks;
• Total number of contacts;
• Total number of clicks for the past seven days
  • A bar chart denotes the daily number of clicks. The weekends are indicated with a darker colour, while today is coloured orange;
  • Below this bar chart, you see the number of daily clicks that have already been served today;
• Click-through rate: the number of clicks as a percentage of the total number of impressions;
• Click-through rate/contacts: the number of clicks as a percentage of the total number of contacts;
• Total budget;
• The estimate of today's budget;
• eCPM, or the effective cost per 1000 impressions. The eCPM is calculated by dividing the total earnings by the total number of thousands of impressions. The eCPM gives an idea of how much a booking would have cost if sold on a CPM basis. This allows for comparisons between different bookings or campaigns;
• eCPC, or the effective cost per click. The eCPC is calculated by dividing the total earnings by the total number of clicks.
