Zip Code Targeting / Inputting, Settings For Excluding Zip From State Target

[tkat]

I am trying to use zip code geotargeting using the city database from Maxmind which supposedly allows geotargeting by zip code.  I have been using it successfully for DMA and even city targeting but have not yet been able to figure out how to use zip codes.

 

1.  How do you input a string of zip codes into the text box that appears when you select zip/postal code targeting?  Should each zip code be separated by a comma, by blank spaces or does each one have to be entered into a separate box?  Even when I try the one-box-per-zip method, I can't seem to get banners served to the zip codes.

 

2.  If I want to limit delivery to a particular state but exclude about 150 zip codes from that state, what would be the best, most efficient way to set the limitation and enter the zip codes?

 

I would appreciate any insight you can give regarding zip code geotargeting with Revive.

Hi tkat,

1)You cannot separate through comma or blank spaces

2)Instead you can create Targeting channels,add required banner in it and set targeting id. Or you can limit the delivery using latitude and longitude method.

In case you need to implement Comma Separator, you can contact here with further details.

Thanks, Eliza.  I'm not sure what you mean by creating a Targeting Channel or how I could use that to exclude a large number of zip codes.  We can't use the longitude method because the client has specified a list of zip codes to be excluded from our state target.
