Customization of House Ads by Admob based on user's data

[akuma...@gwynniebee.com]

I want to customize house ads based on users.

E.g. 

Lets say I am using a banner ad and I have created my campaign with a creative picture.

If the user is paid user -> I'll show 50% off on a specific product else -> 10% off.

How can I achieve it using AdMobs House Ads?

Hi there,

You can use 2 Ad Unit IDs which are set and configured into two separate campaigns with separate House Ad Creatives. Then you can verify if the user is paid using your application and show the respective Ad. For example:

if( user.isPaid() ){
    // Load the AdView with the Ad Unit ID for Paid Users
    unpaidAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
    // OR Set the Ad Unit ID for the AdView for Paid Users
    adView.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.ad_unit_unpaid));
} else {
    // Load the AdView with the Ad Unit ID for Unpaid Users
    paidAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
    // OR Set the Ad Unit ID for the AdView for Unpaid Users
    adView.setAdUnitId(getString(R.string.ad_unit_paid));
}

Not that. 

Lets say in the banner ad, I want to show an image of a product that the user has visited earlier and as different users visit different products. So for all users the ads will be different based on what product they visit.

So, can I send the url for image or creative (which will be different for each user) to the ad mob server and adMob will show that creative in that ad ?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, what you are trying to achieve is not possible from AdMob since creatives are created and customized on the AdMob Campaign Dashboard.

However, you can take a look at DoubleClick for Publishers since it allows you to implement Custom Targeting in AdRequests to customize which Ad gets displayed based on your Targeting. You may contact them through their Product Forum as they are more knowledgeable in helping you achieve what you want to do.
