Jane owns a café in Albany or Albuquerque or any other place your site's visitors come from. The good news: she'd love to give you money to advertise her business to your local readers. The bad news: right now she can't as she doesn't meet your direct sales team's minimum.
Before Shiny Ads, Jane called your direct sales force (if she called at all). They had no way to provider her inventory for her $50 budget, so she went to an ad network instead (if she went at all).
Jane clicks on your "Advertise Here" widget, builds her banner, pays with her credit card, and gets new customers through her door all without leaving your site. Her business is booming and you're generating more revenue with less work. Everyone wins!

| Summary | Realize your full revenue potential by quickly and easily filling your inventory with almost no additional work. | Remnant ad networks with their "filler" ads barely pay for the cost of hosting your web site. | Direct sales brings in a lot of revenue from big brand campaigns, but they cost a lot and those campaigns don't fill all available inventory. Using direct sales to service small and local advertisers costs more than the revenue that those orders generate. | Other self-service offerings do not have a pricing model that works with your business model (up-front costs, monthly costs) and also lack critical features that enable your smaller advertisers to quickly complete their campaign purchases. |
| Ad Server Integration |
Shiny Ads injects ad campaigns directly into the web publisher's ad server and then monitors the campaigns for the advertiser. The following ad servers are currently supported:
