per month.
Digilant has access to more than 7 billion impressions per day and views more than 230 million
unique cookie IDs per day in the U.S.

Digilant’s optimization technology is the most sophisticated in
the industry.
The algorithm is customizable.
The system analyses customer data,
third party data, and web data to inform
optimization. Once this data is
aggregated, the system ranks the
relevancy and expected performance
for each available ad to inform the bid
price. When the system finds a match
and places a winning bid, the ad is
delivered to the user and the response
is recorded for use in the next round of
bidding.

Digilant creates prospect pools by analyzing customer data to create audience and web page indexes to discover high-value prospects.
AIM stores the optimization ‘learnings’ – typical DSP’s can’t.AIM allows for discontinuous campaigns. Campaigns that run for two weeks each month, but repeat monthly. Or run quarter 1 and then again in quarter 3.This means the campaigns level of optimization picks up where it left off that last campaign. It doesn’t have to start learning from ground zero again like most DSP’s. This is a huge advantage translating to substantially improved campaign performance.
Generally 2% of shoppers convert on the first visit to an online store. Retargeting brings back the other 98%. Retargeting works by keeping track of people who visit your site and displaying your retargeting ads to them as they visit other sites online.How does retargeting work?Technically all that is necessary is to place a JavaScript tag in the footer of your website. This code creates a list of people that visit your site by placing anonymous retargeting "cookies" in their browser. This list allows Digilantto display retargeting ads to your potential customers as they visit other sites. Since Digilant works with the largest ad exchanges, we can retarget your customers just about anywhere they might go online.Retargeting generates greater online sales by keeping your brand front and center and bringing "window shoppers" back when they're ready to buy. Every time your customer sees your retargeting ads, your brand gains traction and more recognition. The high click-through rates and increased conversions that are typical with retargeting campaigns underscore the value of good branding and repeated exposure.
