This guide will walk you through the campaign wizard step by step, detailing the banner sizes, targeting options, and tips you need along the way. To start, go to **Campaigns → Create Campaign** and select **Banner** as your campaign type. Banner campaigns are billed on a **CPM** basis — you pay per 1,000 impressions (the number of times your ad is shown). ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/5/4/d/a54d794cc8c41800/cleanshot-2026-06-02-at-171424_a1fg2l.png) --- ## Step 1 — Basic Info In this section, you will name your campaign, describe what you’re promoting, and add your banner creatives. ### Campaign Details * **Campaign name** *(required)*: Assign a clear name that you'll recognize later (3–200 characters). * **Description** *(optional)*: Provide a short note about the campaign (up to 1,000 characters). * **Ad vertical** *(required)*: Select the category that best aligns with your offer. * **Schedule** *(optional)*: Set a start and end date. If left blank, the campaign begins today and continues until you pause it. * **Campaign goal** *(optional)*: Choose what you're optimizing for (e.g., brand awareness, traffic, conversions). If you select a conversion-based goal, you will be prompted for a target cost per action. ### Creatives (Your Banners) You can add **1 to 5 creatives**. Each banner needs: * **Banner size** *(required)*: Choose one of the supported sizes (see below). * **Banner image** *(required)*: Upload an image; you’ll crop it to the exact size. (Alternatively, switch to **HTML tag** mode to paste a third-party ad tag instead.) * **Title** *(required)*: Up to 50 characters. * **Destination URL** *(required)*: The page users land on after clicking. You can incorporate tracking macros here; refer to the *Destination URL Tracking Macros* article. > **Tip:** The banner type (image vs HTML) is locked once the campaign is created, so make your decision before saving. ### Supported Banner Sizes | Size | Name | | ---- | | 300 × 250 | Medium Rectangle | | 320 × 50 | Mobile Leaderboard | | 728 × 90 | Leaderboard | | 300 × 100 | Large Mobile Banner | | 320 × 480 | Mobile Interstitial | ### Image Guidelines * Maximum file size: **1 MB** * Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP * Your image will be cropped to the exact dimensions of the size you select, so use artwork that closely matches that shape for optimal results. > **Tip:** Add several sizes as separate creatives to maximize placements — different websites and apps prefer different banner sizes. --- ## Step 2 — Targeting Determine who sees your ads and where. **Everything here is optional** — if you leave a section empty, your ads will run as broadly as possible for that setting. ### Geographic Targeting * Select the countries you want to target. Leaving this empty means your ads will run **worldwide**. * You can also narrow your target to specific regions within a country. * Countries are grouped into tiers that affect the minimum bid. ### Device & Technology * **Device type**: Desktop, mobile, tablet, TV, and more. * **Operating system**: e.g., Windows, Android, iOS (with versions). * **Browser**: Target specific browsers if needed. * **Connection type**: Any, Wi-Fi/cable, or cellular. * **Traffic type**: Websites, in-app, or both. * **Carrier**: Target specific mobile networks (useful for cellular targeting). Quick presets like **Mobile**, **Desktop**, or **Mobile App** allow you to set common combinations with a single click. ### Schedule (Dayparting) * Choose the days and hours of the week when your ads should run. By default, ads run at all times. ### IP & Domain Lists * Utilize **allowlists** (to show ads only on listed items) or **blocklists** (to never show ads on listed items) for IPs and domains. You can create new lists directly from this step. > **Tip:** Start broad. Over-targeting at launch can limit your delivery. Narrow your targeting once you identify which placements perform best. --- ## Step 3 — Budget & Launch Set your budget and review everything before going live. ### Budget Settings * **Bid (CPM)** *(required)*: This is the amount you will pay per 1,000 impressions. The minimum is **$0.20**. A recommended bid will be shown to help you stay competitive. * **Total budget** *(optional)*: This is the lifetime spend cap. If set, it must be at least **$50**. Leave blank for no limit. * **Daily cap** *(optional)*: The maximum you’ll spend per day. If set, it must be at least **$10**. * **Pacing**: Choose to spend **as fast as possible (ASAP)** or **spread evenly** across the day. * **Frequency cap** *(optional)*: Limit how many times the same person sees your ad (1–100). ### Review and Launch The final step presents a readiness checklist that highlights any missing or invalid items. Once everything is confirmed, click **Create Campaign** to launch. > **Tip:** A higher bid and a clear, relevant banner typically secure more (and better) placements. If your campaign isn’t generating impressions, consider raising your bid or broadening your targeting. --- ## Quick Checklist Before You Launch * [ ] Campaign type set to **Banner** * [ ] Campaign named and ad vertical selected * [ ] At least one creative with an image (or HTML tag), title, banner size, and destination URL * [ ] Targeting reviewed (or intentionally left broad) * [ ] Bid at or above the **$0.20** minimum * [ ] Budget and/or daily cap set (or left unlimited on purpose)
