Still thinking?

Here are some answers.

How much does it cost?

I am a free-to-use website (or platform). All you need is an account and then you can start advertising. What you pay for ads depends on the boards you pick. Every board is different. Check out my pricing page.

Do you have to be an agency to use me?

No, you don't have to. I am designed to be simple enough to self-serve. That said, it might help to get some expert advice on how to plan a campaign that gets you the best return on investment (ROI) possible. Visit the experts page to see some CAASie-recommended experts!

Got no idea what I'm on about?

Honestly, sometimes neither do I.
But if you're looking for some answers, check out the how it works page.

What came first?

The egg.
This is not open to dispute.

What is a campaign?

In the context of CAASie.co, a campaign is basically your selection of boards, ads, and configurations. It essentially tells me what ads you're putting out, and where you want them to go (i.e. which boards you want to serve them to).

What is an ad?

An ad is just your artwork. Could be a video, could be a picture. An ad, when used in a campaign, will be served to the boards you've selected. Remember how they're digital screens? Your ad will be shown on that screen.

What does serving an ad mean?

Imagine every (bill)board running a slideshow of ads. Each 'slide' or 'ad' displays for a few seconds before another one takes its place. I basically put your ad up on the screen for those few seconds at a time (as part of the slideshow). That's what I mean when I say 'ad play'.

So, when you 'pay-per-play', you're paying for one showing of your awesome ad.

Can you see what's available without buying?

Of course you can.
When you create a campaign, you'll go through the process of picking the boards, at which point you'll see what's available.

If you just want to do a sneak peek, then head on over to the map and see it all. You'll have to create an account before being able to select your boards or run any ads, though.

What kind of ads are allowed?

It really depends on the screen. Outdoor screens in Australia cannot legally display video, so that's out. However, indoor screens can usually display video and, in some cases, full audio as well.

How much does a campaign cost?

I don't 'sell' campaigns.

Think of a CAASie.co campaign more like...the difference between buying a pre-packaged set of bananas, and buying bananas by weight.

Instead of me showing you packages, you tell me your budget (anywhere from $0 - $2000+), and I'll get you as many ads within that as possible.

Can you specify when your ads should play?

Yup. You can. In fact, you can specify down to the specific dates, the day of week, and even the hour you want your ads to play.

I make it quite easy for you to target the times you feel your audience is most receptive to your ads. Or... y'know, when they're actually there to see it.

What kind of budget controls are available?

You can set a total budget for your campaign - so that you control spend overall. Beyond that, you've got finer controls for hourly and daily spend rates.

Combined with narrowing your active hours to specific times of day, you can really make sure you don't spend when (or where) your ads aren't needed.

Do you have to share a login?

Nope. You can invite your colleagues to join you in all your CAASie.co fun, and they can all have their own accounts.

If you're interested, you can also separate different colleagues into different 'teams'. If you've ever used platforms like Asana, the gist is about the same. Different teams can manage different campaigns, and more. Super exciting stuff!

For me, anyway.

Can you keep your clients' campaigns separate?

You sure can. You can even make sure your clients' invoices are separate from yours.

Make sure that when you sign up, you create an 'Agency' organisation instead of an 'Advertiser' organisation. This will give you the ability to create 'Client' organisations under your own, so as to keep your funds, campaigns, and management all separate.
