### Managing Budgets <a href="#h_01k80g67wg5rx7qpr2g49mk54j" id="h_01k80g67wg5rx7qpr2g49mk54j"></a>

DT Offer Wall campaigns may generate conversions after the budget or cap has reached its limit due to attribution delays. Follow these best practices to manage budgets, caps, and attribution settings while staying within the target budget.

#### Budgets and Buffers <a href="#h_01ka8yngejj8cby5rcw8hsqpb5" id="h_01ka8yngejj8cby5rcw8hsqpb5"></a>

Budget settings include Lifetime, Monthly, and Daily Budgets. To prevent overspending from delayed conversions, allocate a portion of the budget as a buffer. DT recommends the following buffers:

| Average Completion Range | Recommended Buffer      |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Less than 24 hours       | 10% of the total budget |
| More than 1 day          | 20% of the total budget |

For example, for a $10,000 monthly budget with an average event completion time of over one day, set the active budget to $8,000 and reserve $2,000 as a buffer.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Contact your Digital Turbine account manager before allocating the buffer to prevent the risk of overspending.
{% endhint %}

#### Conversion and Install Caps <a href="#h_01ka8ynpafmfmjkg9wdvkh6fay" id="h_01ka8ynpafmfmjkg9wdvkh6fay"></a>

Use caps to control spending across campaigns. Available caps include Lifetime, Monthly, and Daily Conversion Caps as well as Install Caps to manage daily or monthly goals.

| Cap Type        | Description                                                                                                          |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Spend Caps      | Manages the total spend but may incur a slight overspend from delayed events or late conversions.                    |
| Conversion Caps | (For multi-reward campaigns) Limits specific targeted events, such as installs, registrations, or level completions. |
| Install Caps    | Provides precise control over delivery, but is difficult to estimate.                                                |

#### Attribution Window <a href="#h_01ka8ynvrbsvr3egzrj23yt38p" id="h_01ka8ynvrbsvr3egzrj23yt38p"></a>

The **Attribution Window** field allows you to define the timeframe in which DT accepts late conversions, which can affect your total spend.\
To maintain tighter budget control and reduce the window, adjust this setting in the ACP Edge dashboard in the **Campaign Customizations** area.

{% hint style="success" %}
Contact your Digital Turbine account manager to adjust the default timeframe.
{% endhint %}

### Adding Creative Assets <a href="#addcreatives" id="addcreatives"></a>

## Tracking a Campaign <a href="#h_01jg95t8sc9jr3q6hh4799xrze" id="h_01jg95t8sc9jr3q6hh4799xrze"></a>

Tracking campaigns collect data on impressions, clicks, and conversions to evaluate performance, optimize delivery, and meet objectives. DT integrates tracking providers to create unique tracking URLs and accurately attribute user actions to specific campaigns.

To track a campaign:

1. Select one of the following tracking providers from the **Tracking Provider** drop-down list.\

Manufacturer targeting allows you to allow or block device brands and models to align your campaign with the target audience. The default setting includes all manufacturers. This approach optimizes bids, allowing higher bids for devices that deliver quality end-users while reducing spend on less effective ones. To allowlist or blocklist manufacturers:

1. Click **Browse** in the **Manufacturers** area and select the required **Browse Device Models**.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://592572939-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7drDlNSyycpmA7Zx8kgX%2Fuploads%2FQKonTMCAZ7XCIHZIYu4b%2F2024-12-30_14-05-14.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=4c93c9b9-180a-4ac5-979a-352d7ac84a36" alt=""></div>
