Dynamic Creative and Product Feed Templates for Revive Adserver

Dynamic Creative and Product Feed Templates fills HTML5 banner templates with products from a feed in CSV, XML or JSON. Advertisers and publishers show current catalog items in banners served by Revive Adserver without building a creative per product.

What it does

• HTML5 templates use placeholders that are filled from your product feed, so one template carries many products.
• The feed can be a CSV, XML or JSON URL, which lets you connect the catalog file you already maintain.
• Rule-based selection picks products by category, price range or stock flag, so a banner can show the items that suit the campaign.
• Each impression is rendered with caching, so banners are built from the feed data per impression without reading the feed every time.
• A refresh schedule and an error log keep the feed current and show when it fails, so problems are seen and fixed.
• An admin preview shows how a template looks before it goes live.

How it fits your ad stack

Templates are HTML5 banners in Revive Adserver, so standard display sizes apply: common IAB sizes include 300x250, 728x90, 160x600, 300x600, 970x250 and 320x50. Feed-based dynamic creative is a familiar practice for catalog advertising, and this pack handles the template, feed, selection and preview parts of it. Which sizes you build templates for is your choice.
