Now that Amazon Ads now longer has a base bid option, how are you setting up the bids?

I have Amazon Ads from my ad tech partner but I feel like my account somehow is provisioned or limited as Private Auction deals for Prime Video with 1 bill available impressions barely get any impressions no matter how high i make my bid or expand my geo area.

Is there another company that gives you access to Amazon Ads, then at least I can see if my theory is correct that something to do with my Ad tech partner provisioning of my accord.

Curious about quality of deals. I see Drax Deal around $30s for Hulu, Disney+, Espn then I see Hulu deals at $42.

Is the $42 floor deal that much better in quality of access, Is it worth the premium?

I am using "Prime Video | Private Auction | Video | US - 15, 30"

In the past I would use that deal setup low bid $15 - $20 max

My daily budget is $80 but only $24 is spent.

I even went from targetting 5 counties = 3 million population to targetting the entire state of New Jersey. Still the line item not getting much impressions, keeps saying on top of screen "Location mismatch" but i am advertising a local service so doing NY or PA makes no sense.

Is there any other "Prime" Video auction you can suggest I try that i would get more impressions?

The other deals I see listed have less available impressions i think the one above says over a billion avg where as the category ones like Drama, Action, Top Rated are only 50-150 million.

I am trying to reach a lot of people but I also want to avoid shows that kids only would watch. I noticed I can use the Digital Content Label however when I pull last nights impressions, majority are listed as "Not yet labeled".

One thing I did also was:

Exclude the following genres

/Arts & Entertainment/Comics & Animation/Cartoons

/Arts & Entertainment/Movies/Animated Films

/Arts & Entertainment/Comics & Animation/Anime & Manga

Is there anything else I can try to help narrow out and improve my odds?

I read the Netflix ad specs and my video meets all criteria. Even had Claude Fable check the file and compare it again to their website and it met all requirements but keep getting this error. Also I emailed Netflix but no reply, I assume they only reply to Support requests for people spending $$ vs people using Netflix deal on Amazon Ads. Even Amazon Ads support had no idea how to resolve it.

I've noticed Roku makes up the majority of my impressions on Disney+, Hulu, and some live TV news shows.

Do you find Roku users to be a good target, or just a source of wasted spend? I see so much of my budget going to Roku compared to every other device.

My question is more about audience quality: does Roku traffic actually perform for you, or do you exclude/downweight it?

Anyone running Netflix on Amazon, see that it’s now available.

How many days does take creative to be reviewed and approved.

Those that use Amazon Ads for streaming. When you make a setting change is it immediate or take a few hours or a day to update?

I added 3 new counties with over 3 million population into the targeting prior to the day part schedule going live and last night the Ad spend was the same as it was prior night when I had only 1 county in targeting.

Looking for a company that can design and fabricate a desk for special use VS just order from a catalog. Anyone recommend a place? Something like a HON but can be modified or similar.

I've been doing a lot of research to find someone I feel comfortable having a hair transplant with. I want FUE done and don't want to drive hours away, so I'm trying to find someone local with real experience and qualifications. I've noticed a lot of places are run by doctors who do "everything" (cosmetic, dermatology, etc.) rather than specializing in hair.

I work in tech, so I've been using AI to help make a more informed decision, running 3 different AI models to cross-reference each other, compare information, and dig up stuff that's hard to find otherwise. It's given me a bit more confidence in the process.

So far, Dr. Shah, Dr. DiStefano, and Dr. Glenn Ross are the only ones I've found who focus exclusively on hair. Of those, Glenn Ross and Richard Marki are the only two in NJ who are ABHRS accredited.

One thing I found interesting (and I'm still digging into): ABHRS seems to be the only accreditation with a real evidence requirement. To get it, you need a 3-year track record, 150 surgical case logs, 50 operative reports, before-and-after photos (with you listed as primary surgeon on the clinical history forms), and you have to pass both a written and oral exam on hair restoration surgery. Basically, you submit your actual surgeries and get judged on your results.

That said, a lot of doctors aren't listed in that directory, but it still seems like the most legit verification system out there.

I'm setting up consults with two more places.

Hopefully this helps others too. I figured I'd share my journey and the things I'm learning along the way. At the end of the day, I just want to feel like I made the right decision based on who actually has a proven background and training, not just who's well known.

For those who've had FUE done in the NJ/NY area, how did your doctor approach donor hair selection? The first doctor I saw walked me through exactly how he picks donor hairs and spaces them out on the back of the head so it's hard to tell any were ever removed, his focus seemed to be entirely on keeping things looking natural. He didn't come off as salesy at all, but his practice does all kinds of cosmetic procedures, not just hair. Given the cost involved, I feel like I'd rather go with a place that does FUE daily (or exclusively) BUT if this ABHRS is legit then I feel like it gives "2" doctors I mentioned above more credit than reviews.

Curious if anyone had FUE down in New Jersey?

Curious who in this forum had it done by a practice in New Jersey? If so how was the overall experience and who did you use.

Curious G6 Turret is $200 and G6 Pro Turret is $479. Does the G6 Pro Turret video quality/zoom etc that much better to justify the $279 price jump? Looking for someone who has both and was able to compare side to side.

Anyone else have same issue tried bunch of things already like reboot by holding volume pushed in etc. Resetting car and redownloading app. Turn privacy on and off etc.

Still when i hit check for updates just acts like its searching and never finds anything or errors out.

I know this is a programmatic group, and I’m still fairly new to DV360 and Amazon Ads.

Does anyone know whether Deal IDs or marketplace deals exist that would let me add some local linear TV inventory to my DV360 campaigns—specifically traditional TV delivered through Comcast or Fios, not just streaming or CTV?

I’m only looking to get onto a few channels or networks in my local market. Ideally, I’d like to manage the campaign through DV360 so I can keep control over the budget, schedule, reporting, and creative without having to work directly with a local Comcast or Fios sales rep.

Has anyone done this, or know of a reseller, SSP, inventory partner, or marketplace deal that offers access to local linear TV?

I tried a new taper idea and on day 3 of a new med noticing not as bad but still feel random zaps.

I was on 20MG for like 3 months.

Then for 3 weeks i did a taper, broke open the capsule 20mg = 60 beads..

I got new empty capsules. Put 30 into each capsule, then took 30 beads 10MG for 2 weeks. Had 0 side effects.

Then last week i did 15 beads so 5mg for a week. Again no side effects.

After the 15 beads i just stopped taking it and now on day 3 of a new med and randomly zap/buzzing on my lips and based on how i turn my body i randomly feel off for a quick second thats it. I felt like since my taper idea had 0 side effects the drop from 15 beads to "0" should be fine to just stop.

Either way - any supplement you have taken that helped relieve these left over side effects? I do not want to go back on it and delaying me from starting my new med. Curious what worked for you.
