But ends up generating 600K impressions for that month. The remaining 100K impressions are cumulatively called remnant inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a simple example, but if we add more specifications\u2014ad size (300&#215;250), ad placement (above the fold), targeting requirements (user with desktop device)\u2014you get a clearer idea what remnant inventory might be described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, publishers would want to monetize every impression and this is when managing remnant inventory efficiently becomes important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Difference-Between-Premium-and-Remnant-Inventory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_Premium_and_Remnant_Inventory\"><\/span>Difference Between Premium and Remnant Inventory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before diving into the tips to manage remnant inventory, let\u2019s first clearly understand in what ways it is different from premium inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Premium<\/strong> <strong>Inventory<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Remnant<\/strong> <strong>Inventory<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Description<\/td><td>Part of inventory that publisher is able to sell directly to advertisers<\/td><td>Part of inventory left after premium deals are done<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monetization opportunity<\/td><td>Since, with premium inventory publishers offer customized targeting options, in return, they can ask for a better CPM as well<\/td><td>Remnant inventory are generally sold in bulk by conducting real-time auction, hence CPMs are set as per industry standards<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Type of advertisers<\/td><td>Big brands invest in premium inventory<\/td><td>Ideal for small and medium-size advertisers.

Basically, when an impression appears it first goes to a premium buyer, if the impression matches the requirement, then a sale happens. Otherwise, RTB takes control of the impression to find the next best match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Manage-Remnant-Inventory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_to_Manage_Remnant_Inventory\"><\/span>Best Practices to Manage Remnant Inventory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because an impression doesn\u2019t match the requirements of your premium deal doesn\u2019t mean it has no value. Chances are there are advertisers who are looking for this impression and willing to pay a good price for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a case, you can optimize your inventory to make most out of remnant impressions. Here are the best practices to help you with the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Try preferred deal:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/preferred-deal-pros-cons-and-how-to-set-it-up-in-gam\/\" target=\"_blank\">Preferred deal<\/a> offers a chance to publishers to maximize their impression revenues before they take them to the open market. Publishers can allow advertisers to buy the inventory at a negotiated fixed price after having a look at it. These advertisers are likely to pay better than real-time bidders and hence, this improves the chances to maximize the yield from remnant inventory.<\/li><li><strong>Enable header bidding:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/header-bidding-a-comprehensive-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Header bidding<\/a> is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/openrtb-3-0-a-simpler-guide-to-openrtb-technology\/\">RTB auction<\/a> that sends simultaneous bids to multiple bidders. Since publishers have control over who gets to bid, they can control the quality of demand, and hence ensure better yield. You might w want to also look into <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/client-side-header-bidding-vs-server-side-header-bidding\/\" target=\"_blank\">hybrid header bidding<\/a>, which allows publishers to increase bid competition enabling both server-side and client-side auctions to run in the same instance.<\/li><li><strong>Partner with multiple demand partners:<\/strong> As mentioned above, the more demand you have, the more competitive your ad auctions will be. Therefore, it is recommended to publishers to partner up with multiple demand partners, test their performance, and move to the next one if one (or more) doesn\u2019t work. It is also advised to add demand partners with specialties in handling <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/top-8-best-paying-mobile-ad-networks-you-should-try\/\" target=\"_blank\">mobile inventory<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/the-top-16-best-video-ad-networks-to-improve-your-earnings\/\" target=\"_blank\">video inventory<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/best-native-ad-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\">native ads<\/a>, and\/or in particular geography; to better monetize different types of audience.<\/li><li><strong>Choose selling model carefully:<\/strong> As the number of impressions increases, publishers start investing other monetization methods to improve their profit \u2014 video ads, email newsletter ads, affiliate links, etc. For each different strategy, publishers need a different monetization model. For instance, display advertising works best with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/cpc-vs-cpm\/\">CPM <\/a>model, whereas affiliate ads work primarily on the CPA model. Focus on what works best for the buyer and design the selling model accordingly.<\/li><li><strong>Enable targeting:<\/strong> Even when buying remnant impressions, advertisers want users to be a good match for their ad campaigns. Enabling targeting for ad units ensures that. A targeted ad unit with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-ad-viewability\/\" target=\"_blank\">a good viewability score<\/a> is more valuable by default. But make sure the user allows you to show him\/her targeted ads as per the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pubexec.com\/article\/publishers-data-regulation-cookie-blocking-consumer-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\">latest privacy norms<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Enable fallback:<\/strong> Finally, if real-time auction is unable to fill the impression, then you have a case of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/reduce-unfilled-impressions\/\" target=\"_blank\">unfilled impression<\/a>. To reduce loss of impressions, publishers are advised to set up fallbacks. If publishers are unable to generate revenue out of an impression via premium and remnant deals, then best to use this impression for self-promotion\u2014banner of upcoming webinar or a new product launch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Find-Relevant-Demand-for-Remnant-Ad-Inventory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_Find_Relevant_Demand_for_Remnant_Ad_Inventory\"><\/span>Tips to Find Relevant Demand for Remnant Ad Inventory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have healthy traffic and a good viewability score, yet a major chunk of your inventory is unfilled, then chances are your demand pool is too small. In such a case, you need to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-right-demand-partner-to-sell-ad-space\/\" target=\"_blank\">add and optimize your demand partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips that can help you with the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Audience segmentation:<\/strong> Segmented inventory is likely to be sold more quickly than non-segmented one. Even with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/best-real-time-bidding-platforms-for-publishers\/\">real-time bidding<\/a>, advertisers want to know what kind of audience they are investing in. And a segmented inventory does exactly the same\u2014telling advertisers about general traits of users.<\/li><li><strong>Invest in demand-path optimization:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/marketing\/what-is-demand-path-optimization\/\" target=\"_blank\">Demand-path optimization<\/a> helps publishers and their SSPs understand the buying behavior of advertisers. With this information, publishers can learn about the buyers that often invest in your inventory and pitch them the inventory directly for a fixed price as a direct deal or preferred deal. Moreover, it gives an insight into the performance of ad placements and buyers interested in them. This can further help publishers attract more buyers.<\/li><li><strong>Price floor optimization:<\/strong> Setting it too low will increase ad fraud and too high will result in unfilled impressions. Remember, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/what-should-i-consider-while-setting-floor-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\">price floors requires constant monitoring<\/a> and revision to strike a balance between profitability and optimum fill rate.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology now enables publishers to sell a large chunk of their inventory efficiently via RTB. Also, it requires <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/programmatic-vs-direct-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\">less human involvement than direct deals<\/a>. This allows publishers of all sizes to sell their remnant inventory, while ensuring good yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The underlined statement is to sell each impression at its maximum possible value, while avoiding any unfilled impressions on webpages.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definition of premium and remnant inventory varies widely.
