Hourly-Based Scoring System

 

  • Hourly Computation: Scores are computed on an hourly basis. This granular approach ensures that the data is as accurate and relevant as possible for your campaign needs.
  • Comparative Analysis: For any given hour, the retail score of a shop for a specific product category is determined by comparing its performance against all other stores during that same hour. This relative scoring method provides a clear picture of how a shop stands out in its category at specific times.
  • Heat Map Visualization: A heat map, segmented by hour and weekday, visually represents the distribution of scores throughout a typical week. This tool offers a quick and intuitive way to understand peak performance times and days for each store.

FAQ

 

Q : Are there any segments that lack sufficient data to be considered relevant?

A: Certain segments did not have enough data to be deemed relevant in a DOOH context. As they didn't provide a comprehensive view or accurate insights due to their limited data set, those segments and product categories were excluded by JCDecaux Marketing team.

Q: Can I change my targeting during the campaign?

A: Absolutely, with the "Data Retail - Proxi France" dataset at your disposal, you have the flexibility to adjust your targeting parameters mid-campaign. Whether you're aiming to increase the reach or modify the campaign objectives, the dataset provides the necessary data granularity to make those changes effectively. It's essential to ensure that any adjustments align with your campaign goals and leverage the rich insights (Reach and hour parting) from the dataset for optimal results. Importantly, once you make these changes, they will directly influence which impressions are purchased, ensuring that your ads are displayed according to your updated specifications. Consequently, the campaign reports will reflect the screens purchased both prior to and following the targeting update.

Q: Can my selection change during a campaign if the data changes?

A: Yes, if the underlying data changes or gets updated during a campaign, it might impact your selection criteria and the specific screens activated within your line items. Consequently, the campaign reports will reflect the screens purchased both prior to and following the data update. Regardless of these changes, our system ensures that your ad is always placed at the most optimal time and location based on the most current data.

Q: How does it work with the multi-deal feature? 

A: The JCDecaux Data Retail - Proxi France is specifically designed to be activated on screens situated within JCDecaux's proxi environment. In essence, the JCDecaux Data Retail - Proxi France is exclusive to its designated environment (JCDecaux > Retail > Grocery). We recommend  to dedicate a line item to this specific environment and data; and to expand and diversify your campaign across multiple environment by setting up additional line items.

Here's a breakdown of how it integrates with the multi-deal feature:

  1. Exclusive Activation: The JCDecaux Data Retail - Proxi France is only available for screens within the JCDecaux proxi environment.
  2. Deal Selection: When setting up your campaign, only deals that are related to this proxi environment should be chosen. Any deal not covering this specific environment will be ignored.
  3. Venue Type Limitation: Due to the specificity of the JCDecaux proxi environment, screens outside of this environment are automatically filtered out. This means you cannot incorporate additional venue types or media owners into your line items for this particular campaign setup.
  4. Combining Multiple Media Owners or Venue Types: If your campaign strategy requires the inclusion of various media owners or venue types, you can achieve this by leveraging the multi-deals feature. Simply create an additional line item that encompasses those specific media owners or venue types. This way, you can have a holistic campaign that taps into the strengths of both the JCDecaux proxi environment and other desired platforms.

Q: I added a deal but now I have no more panels, why?

A: If you've added a deal and find that you have no more panels available, could be because the deal's criteria might not cover the screens that are enriched with the proxi data, making them unavailable for your campaign. Additionally, the score threshold might only select screens that achieve a certain performance level, and if none meet this threshold, they won't be displayed.

Q: Do I need to add dayparting to line items using this data?

A: No, you don't need to add dayparting when using this data. The hourly score system inherently considers the best times to display your ad based on the retail score of shops for specific product categories. By adjusting the score threshold, you're effectively selecting the optimal hours and days for your campaign, making additional dayparting redundant.

Q: Which deal should I choose to use this data?

A: For utilizing the Proxi data, you should select a JCDecaux deal that includes the "Retail > Grocery" venue type. Among the options provided, a good evergreen deal would be "VIOOH-JCDECAUX_FR_MU-ow3gKsWltq" (JCDecaux DOOH Displayce Open Deal Urban ). Always ensure that the deal you choose aligns with the data's expected environment. In the case where your selected deals does not contain the appropriate venue type, your forecast will indicate that you have 0 screens and impressions that are eligible.

Q: What does EAN means?

A: EAN stands for "European Article Number." It's a barcode standard used internationally to identify products. In recent years, the EAN has been standardized as the GTIN-13 (Global Trade Item Number) but is still commonly referred to as EAN. It's widely used in retail for product tracking and inventory management.
