Understanding the “Consideration” Goal in Smart Campaigns

Mid-funnel DSP campaigns to help you engage with potential buyers

Updated today

Choosing Consideration as your advertising goal tells us you want to engage shoppers who are actively researching or comparing products, but haven't yet made a purchase decision. These campaigns are ideal for:

  • Competing for shopper attention during the evaluation phase

  • Retargeting interested viewers

  • Driving deeper product exploration


🛠 What Happens When You Select the Consideration Goal?

When you choose the Consideration goal, you’ll be prompted to select one or more Smart Campaign Strategies. Each strategy represents a unique campaign setup that includes a recommended budget, targeting configuration, and primary KPI.

You can:

  • Select one or multiple Consideration strategies

  • Launch one or multiple campaigns per strategy

  • Customize campaign names, KPI targets, budgets, and dates

🧠 AMC Strategies & Audience Templates by Goal

These audiences are accessible in the Audience Creator experience and will be available to add directly to your DSP line items.

🗓 Timeline, Budget, and Flight Details

✅ Next Steps After Consideration Goal Selection

  1. Choose your strategies

  2. Enter budgets, KPIs, and review defaults

  3. Save your selections to preview your generated line items

  4. Review and customize targeting, inventory, and creatives

  5. Submit your campaign with confidence 🎯


📌 Note: You must include at least one line item per campaign to proceed. You can’t delete all line items, but you may edit, duplicate, or remove individual ones to fine-tune your setup.


🎨 Creative Management During Campaign Creation

When you create a new campaign, Teikametrics automatically associates creatives (the actual display ads) with each line item based on the products you selected.

Here’s how it works:

  • Automatic Creative Matching:
    We identify and apply available creatives from your library of creative assets that correspond to the ASINs you selected during campaign setup. This ensures that the products you want to promote are featured in the ads shown to customers.

  • Preview & Edit:
    You can accept the recommended creatives or choose a different one from your creative library.

  • REC Creative Option:
    You can optionally generate a new Responsive E-Commerce (REC) creative for your campaign directly within the workflow. Once submitted, this creative becomes immediately available for use in your line items.

  • Creative Requirements:

    • At least one creative is required for every line item.

    • You can apply a single creative to all line items at once or customize per line item.

    • Creatives with a status of “Not Approved” will not appear in the list of eligible creatives during setup.
