Display Ads Campaign
Creating a Display Ads Campaign
Display Ads are banner placements shown in Namshi’s premium slots (for example inside the product-listing grid). They are billed on a CPM basis — a bid per 1,000 views — and, like Brand Ads, pass through an automated Quality Check, reviewed against Namshi’s guidelines, before serving.
This guide covers building the landing link, creating banners (auto-generated or your own), setting a CPM bid, and submitting for review.
How you’re billed & where it fits
Pricing model — CPM (per 1,000 views). Display Ads are billed per thousand views: you pay for how often your banner is shown, regardless of clicks. The minimum bid is AED 20 per 1,000 views.
Before you begin
You are signed in and the correct seller account is selected.
Creative ready — either: let the Creative Builder generate banners (you supply a background image, 700×1600, max 20 MB, plus optional logo 1600×700 and short bilingual copy), or upload your own pre-designed banners.
Minimum bid is 20 per 1,000 views (CPM).
Step 1 — Choose the campaign type
Click Create Campaign, select Display Ads and click Continue. Display Ads have four mandatory steps.
Step 2 — Live Link Builder
Choose a Brand and a Category. Namshi uses these to generate the live link — the destination shoppers land on when they click your banner.
Step 3 — Creative Banners
Provide your banner creative. There are two ways to do this — pick either.
Option A — Generate using Creative Builder (Beta)
No creatives? The builder generates banners for you. Choose the Content Language (English, Arabic or Both), enter short copy — Title (max 10), Subtitle (max 20) and an optional Button Text (max 10) — and upload a Background Image (required, 700×1600) plus an optional Logo (1600×700). Click Generate Preview to see the Desktop and App (Vertical PLP) renders.
Option B — Upload My Own Banners
Prefer your own design? Select Upload My Own Banners and add your pre-designed creative with Select Photo. The preview shows where the banner appears within the product-listing grid.
Step 4 — Bidding
Display Ads are priced per 1,000 views. Enter a Bid Amount — the most you’ll pay for every 1,000 views. The minimum bid is 20 per 1,000 views.
Step 5 — General Settings
Set the Campaign Name, schedule and Daily Budget. Marketplace is fixed to NAMSHI.
Step 6 — Send to Quality Check
Submit with Send To Quality Check. Your banner is reviewed by an automated system against Namshi’s creative guidelines; once approved the campaign serves and appears in your Campaigns dashboard for monitoring, pausing and resuming. Use Save As Draft to finish later.
