Benefits

A promo helps you expand your ad message, attract users by a vivid label, and add another link to your ad. According to our research, ads with promos demonstrate a 30% higher CTR. This contributes to the overall growth in conversions and decreases your CPA.

How to create a promo

In the campaign settings under Promo, click +Add promo. In the Promo window, fill out the fields:

• Promo type: Select a relevant option, for example, “Discount”, “Gift”, “Cashback”, or “Installment 0%”.
• Edit the discount, benefit, or cashback:

  • Prefix.
  • Amount: Specify an integer between 1 and 100 (for percentage) or 1,000,000 (for currency). Required field.
  • Unit: Select “%” or a currency.
• Description of the promo: Specify products or services that the promo applies to. Between 3 and 45 characters, including the text from the Promo type section. Required field.
• Promo dates: Pick dates from the calendar or type them in the format DD.MM.YYYY. Both fields are optional. Cases:

  • Both dates are entered: the promo is shown in ads only between the dates. The promo is removed from the ads the day after.
  • The end date is entered: this date is used in the promo text as its deadline. The promo is removed from the ads the day after the specified date.
  • Both fields are empty: The promo is always shown in ads.

The final text of the promo is generated based on the promo type, discount, description text, and the end date. The promo text will be in the language selected in the Language field. Only Russian is currently supported. Double check the promo text.

Add a link to the promo page if needed: it must belong to the same domain as the main link in the ad, except for links to your pages on social media, Yandex Market, or your Turbo pages. In the link, you can use UTM tags with dynamic parameters. In this case, you can add one promo to multiple campaigns. If you omit the link, the page linked in the ad is shown.

Promos are stored in a separate library. To view or edit them, click Library → Promos. You can create a maximum of 1000 promos. You can only delete promos that are not used in campaigns from the library.

Editing and moderating promos

Both your promo text and link are moderated. As soon as they pass moderation, the promo is added to every matching ad in your campaign.

If you edit your promo text or link, the previous version shows up in your ad before the new text and/or link pass moderation.

Bulk editing of promos in campaigns

You can replace promos in multiple campaigns or unlink them using the bulk tool:

1. Prepare new promo texts. In the menu, select Library → Promos → +Add promo.

   Wait for the texts and links to pass moderation.

2. On the My Campaigns page, select the desired campaigns and click Actions at the bottom of the page. In the menu, select Promo.
3. In the window that opens, select:

   • Replace promo: Enter the desired promo, then click Apply. In the selected campaigns, promos will be replaced with the specified promo.
   • Unlink promo: Click Apply. All promos in the selected campaigns will be unlinked.
