Considerations for Audience Targeting
CPM: It's important to note that the cost per mille (CPM) for targeted segments, especially those finely segmented for audience targeting, tends to be higher due to their specialized nature. However, the increased cost is often justified by the enhanced campaign performance and ROI that precise targeting facilitates.
Cookie Usage and Future Considerations: Audience segments rely on cookies to monitor user behavior and preferences, a practice central to crafting detailed profiles for precise targeting. However, it's important for advertisers to note the evolving digital landscape, especially with Chrome planning to phase out cookies by 2024 and their current unavailability on Apple's OS. This shift signals a significant change in how user data can be collected and utilized for targeting, necessitating a proactive approach to adapt strategies and explore alternative methods for audience segmentation and engagement.
