Metrics: Certain products require additional metric information, such as the total number of impressions and clicks for E-mail ads. If this information is required, a specific field will be in the verification window.
Description: National brands love to see how campuses interact with their ads. Include extra details like an overheard positive comment on a news rack ad (Learn more about Additional Information). Once you've uploaded your verification, you're all set!
*Note: Requirements differ for each media type, so please review the media-specific guidelines (linked at the beginning of this article) before submitting.
Once you've uploaded your verification, you're all set!
The campaign fulfillment team will review your verification and mark it 'Approved' if it meets all the guidelines. You can return to the verification window anytime to make changes to your verification.
If your verification does not meet all the guidelines, flytedesk's campaign fulfillment team will reject the verification and leave a note on the platform with further instructions.
Submit your verifications as soon as possible to maximize buyer satisfaction. (You only have 3 business days to submit your verification before your payment is at risk.)
We know life happens, and sometimes ads don't run as scheduled. You can proactively resolve issues by implementing a make-good policy.
