Performance-based Display Advertising
In performance-based advertising, you only pay for actual clicks. The cost per click depends on the performance of the campaign, and each ad format has its own base price. Performance-based advertising is often the most cost-effective way to drive traffic to your website.
We provide a wide range of solutions for effective performance-based advertising.

Better Results with Dynamic Advertising – Performance-based Included
Better Results with Dynamic Advertising – Performance-based Included

Higher-quality Traffic
By showing consumers products they are interested in, we can drive visitors who are more likely to buy to the website.

Ad Creatives Automatically
Dynamic ads are built from a product feed, so the ad can display thousands of products that are in stock and have prices that are always up-to-date.

Continuous Activities Made Easier
Campaign management becomes easier, material costs are lower and targeting helps build communicative content that lives with the seasons.
Performance-based Dynamic Advertising Solutions
Traffic Redirection Solutions
The goal is to redirect new, potential buyers to the website. The campaign can consist of thousands of ad variations that can be targeted on a product category or product level.
All of Sanoma's target groups are available: targeting by interest, purchase intent, demographics, phase of life or location (municipality or province). In addition, the context, i.e. the article in which the ad is displayed on the Sanoma website, can be utilized in targeting.

Advertising can also be optimized based on clicks or socio-economic status to achieve higher performance.



Terms: A performance-based traffic redirection campaign is possible only in online marketplaces where the product in question can be purchased directly. The solution is meant for continuous activities, so the minimum campaign period is one month.
Dynamic Retargeting Solutions
The aim of dynamic retargeting is to convert visitors into buyers in cases where a visitor has viewed a specific product in the advertiser’s online marketplace. Purchase decisions are not often made immediately, but the visitor needs to be reminded of the product they have viewed. Dynamic retargeting is the best way to do this, because the specific product that the visitor is interested in can be displayed in the ad.
Ad formats that can show multiple products at once can also display other products in the same product category, for example.

Targeting Performance-based Display Advertising
Sanoma RON CPC Package, Product Ad and Social Display
Targeting options are divided into two categories: interest target groups and other target groups. In the interest target groups, you can choose only one defining targeting option at a time, in addition to which you can choose one targeting option from the other target groups. It is also possible to only choose one targeting option from the other target groups.
If you wish, you can choose multiple targeting options using the condition “or”, for example, “Business and Investing” OR “Education”, in which case those belonging to both target groups will see the ad.
