Setting and Updating Media Spend Budgets
In the Terminus Ad Experiences interface, customers can set media spend budgets at the individual advertising tactic level.
When launching a new advertising tactic, customers can set both a daily and an overall budget. While daily budgets are required, overall budgets are optional.
Daily and overall budgets can be adjusted at any time once a tactic has been launched, by navigating to the Tactic Details page (for display, retargeting, and IP-based tactics) and selecting the pencil icons next to the budget amounts:
Reporting on Terminus Media Spend
Terminus customers can easily report on media spend across their different advertising campaigns for any given timeframe.
In the Ad Experiences Homepage, total media spend, as well as spend by tactic can be viewed for pre-set or custom date ranges:
Total spend across all active tactics in the selected reporting date range:
Spend & budgeting by tactic in the selected reporting date range (in Campaign Overview Page):
To view more granular spend data for each tactic (daily spend, account-level spend, and spend by creative size), navigate to the Tactic Detail Page by clicking on the tactic name.
Terminus Media Spend Billing Options
One option for customers is to prepay a set budget for their media spend. For this option, customers estimate their media spend over a period of time (3-month, 6-month, or 12-month period) and prepay that amount. We track your actual usage each month against the prepaid balance and will send your team a reminder when you are approaching a low balance for your prepaid amount. Any remaining spend at the end of the time period selected (3-month, 6-month or 12-month period) rolls over; this amount never expires.
As an alternative to prepaid invoicing, we do offer monthly payments via credit card. For this, we initiate a charge to the card on file at the beginning of each month for the previous month's actual media spend. Please contact billing@terminus.com for any billing-related questions, or if you need to update your payment information.
