Why Display

The most flexible buy in the plan.

Display scales further per dollar than any other channel, and with a click-priced option it can chase traffic as easily as it builds awareness. Here is why it earns a place in the plan.

Reach at real scale

Display is the workhorse of programmatic. It puts your brand across the open web and apps and builds awareness affordably.

Pay for clicks, not just views

Click-Focused Display is priced per click, so your budget follows the people who actually engage instead of every impression served.

Creative that travels

Static or animated banners in every standard size, from leaderboards to rectangles to mobile, ready for any placement.

Brand-safe premium sites

Display runs only on vetted publishers and apps, so your banners show up next to content you actually want to appear in.

Two Ways To Pay

Pay by impression, or only when they click.

Most self-serve platforms only sell display by the impression. Manifold gives you a click-priced option too, so you can match the pricing to the goal.

CPM

Standard Display

$3.00per 1,000 impressions

Best for reach and awareness

  • You pay per 1,000 impressions served
  • Maximize impressions and frequency on a budget
  • Ideal for top-of-funnel awareness
CPC

Click-Focused Display

$1.50per click

Best for site traffic

  • You only pay when someone clicks
  • Budget follows engagement, not just views
  • Ideal for driving landing-page visits and conversions

Run one, the other, or both in a single media plan and let the data decide which model carries your goal.
