As there often appears to be more supply than demand in mobile advertising, RTB may be even more significant in mobile advertising than in other display ad media.<\/p>\n<p>Forecasts in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=230817\">International Data Corporation's (IDC)<\/a> RTB report anticipate significant growth in RTB mobile advertising by 2015;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\"By 2015, we estimate that at least one-fifth of all display advertising sales revenue in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France will be based on RTB transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Its specific growth forecasts are;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>America \u2013 71%,<\/li>\n<li>UK \u2013 114%<\/li>\n<li>France \u2013 103%<\/li>\n<li>Germany \u2013 99%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>RTB can halve the cost of real-time targeted mobile ads<\/h3>\n<p>Take a look at this example.........<\/p>\n<p>One of our partners, the mobile advertising exchange, Nexage, is currently experiencing 70% \u00a0bid volume growth per month, resulting in the minimum display ad price being typically twice the eCPM premium you\u2019d pay through its RTB exchange.<\/p>\n<p>So, relatively keen RTB exchange prices, combined with sophisticated targeting available via demand-side platforms, mean buyers can purchase highly targeted display ads in real-time on an impression-by-impression basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Demand-side platforms (DSPs) can save time and improve targeting<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Demand sources enable you to purchase impressions relevant to specific advertising campaigns across a range of platforms, driving higher campaign ROI. Although all exchanges operate differently, in most cases you can access cheaper inventory if you buy via a demand-side platform (DSP). Although, of course, it's not all about the price - targeting is a critical success factor too.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cResearch by mobileSQUARED has revealed that the emergence of dedicated Mobile Demand Side Platforms will dramatically reduce the workload for both traditional and mobile specialist media agencies by eradicating the manual, labour intensive processes of planning, analysing, buying and reporting on mobile.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a0White paper, mobileSQUARED, March 2011<\/p>\n<p>RTB-enabled DSPs, like StrikeAd, integrate with all major ad exchanges. DSP platforms allow advertisers to make a holistic decision on a campaign's progress by letting them see all the information from multiple ad exchanges in one place. This type of purchase platform offers a huge advantage compared with the alternative of having to access multiple ad exchanges individually and manually.<\/p>\n<h3>The more reach a campaign has, the more efficient and scalable a DSP will be<\/h3>\n<p>Once a buyer has uploaded specific targeting criteria, the DSP effectively listens to each ad exchange in real time and, when a suitable ad becomes available, the DSP buys the ad and delivers it.<strong> The whole process only takes around 0.12 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another useful feature of DSPs is they often bid more aggressively for the impressions with a propensity to convert. DSPs look for valuable impressions and examine their precise origins. Historical data, such as the sort of website an impression clicked through from, can then be used to refine and target future bidding in the same campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>granularity of bidding features<\/strong> and the <strong>ability to target purchasing by impression<\/strong> are the real differentiators of DSPs, both potentially adding more value to every ad impression.<\/p>\n<h3>Combining RTB and DSPs give you impression-level transparency and tracking<\/h3>\n<p>RTB\u2019s provision of impression-level transparency is a huge factor in mobile advertising demand ramping up.<\/p>\n<p>Combining RTB capabilities with a mobile advertising exchange\u2019s inventory allows advertisers to monitor traffic across multiple networks, identify the individual consumers they want to reach and deliver targeted advertising to them in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisers can view hundreds of billions of ad impressions from multiple networks, on a single platform, only bidding on the impressions of interest to them in real time as the campaign develops.<\/p>\n<p>RTB enables real-time campaign decision-making, improving campaign ROI and, just as importantly, enhancing the advertiser\u2019s buying power. It lets buyers evaluate the impression parameter of any impression available for auction prior to purchase.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/strike-ad-front-page2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-13832\" title=\"strike ad front page\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smartinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/strike-ad-front-page2-550x440.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"218\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strikead.com\/\">StrikeAd<\/a>, for example, can analyse factors such as gender, location and device-type to see exactly how valuable each impression is to an advertiser's campaign. Advertisers now need to buy only those impressions they want and do not waste money on those they do not.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile advertisers have specific tracking needs; they need to attribute downloads, conversions and even in-app events, such as frequent use, purchases, game level completion and much more. Plugging app download tracking data into a mobile DSP allows its learning mechanisms to adjust the buying strategy automatically; to buy more traffic of the profile that is currently delivering the best results.<\/p>\n<h3>The new approaches must be embraced by all parties<\/h3>\n<p>Many initiatives are underway to make mobile app advertising more successful and cost effective.<\/p>\n<p>However, in order to succeed, advertisers, agencies and media must all adopt these new approaches. RBS and DSPs have the potential to usher in a new era of mobile planning and buying by enabling agencies to deliver improved ROI to clients through a single platform interface that supports planning, booking, executing and optimising real-time mobile campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest dangers is that the greatest benefits of RBS and DSPs may be lost unless all three parties adopt and use them together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"postauthor\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 10px; border: 2px solid #808080;\" src=\"http:\/\/m4.licdn.com\/mpr\/mpr\/shrink_100_100\/p\/4\/000\/14c\/343\/21887e2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/> Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alexrahaman\">Alex Rahaman <\/a> for sharing his advice and opinions in this post.
