The Programmatic Waterfall



What are the components of the Programmatic waterfall?




Reserved Inventory is advertising space on a publisher’s site that is put aside for a specific advertiser for an agreed price.

Fixed Price is any arrangement where the buyer & seller agree on a flat price that the buyer pays rather than the highest bidder in an auction environment.

Automated Guaranteed: More like a direct sale. Inventory & pricing all decided and runs very similar to direct. Trafficking and RFP are automated.

Unreserved Fixed-Rate: This is biddable, yet at a fixed price for a more predictable inventory to help the advertiser. 

Invitation Only: Open for selected advertisers and the Publisher might choose to offer more value by way of transparency.

Open Auction: Open for all but the Publisher can create roadblocks by way of price floors and blocklist.
