Questions about switching
Who buys the space on my pages?
Other Calisto businesses, through their campaigns in Calisto Ads, in a second-price auction or for a flat fee on named dates.
Can I set a minimum price?
Yes. Each placement carries its own minimum price per thousand views, in its own currency, and selling pauses on one placement or on all of them at once.
What fills my kiosks and TVs when nothing sells?
Your own promotions. On a kiosk or a TV whose band you sell, what does not sell shows your business’s own promotions, so the band is never empty.
