Managing your TV advertising budget shouldn't be complicated. Here's everything you need to know about how billing works at Simulmedia Self-Serve platform, including campaign charges, unused budgets, and credit policies.
Streaming TV Campaigns
- All campaign budgets are billed in full before the campaign launch
- Once you submit a campaign, your account will be billed using the saved payment method or by entering new payment details
- Example: A $500 campaign will be charged $500 at the time of activation
Unused Budget Policy
For All Campaign Objectives:
- If your campaign doesn't fully deliver due to targeting constraints, any unspent amount becomes account credit
- Example: If a $500 campaign only delivers $450 in ads due to limited network selection, the remaining $50 becomes available credit
- To apply credits to your next campaign, contact [email protected]
