HostAd

HostAd is a revolutionary self-serve digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising platform built specifically for the Ukrainian market! It completely transforms how businesses connect with local audiences by offering a fast, transparent, and fully automated alternative to traditional outdoor advertising. No more dealing with agencies, signing lengthy contracts, or drowning in paperwork! With HostAd, advertisers can simply open an interactive map on their phone or computer, browse through dozens of curated venues like cozy cafés, trendy barbershops, beauty salons, and bustling coworking spaces, select the perfect spot, and launch a full campaign on the venue’s digital screens in just minutes. The entire process, from selection to payment, happens online with zero friction. You pay only for the seconds your ad actually plays, making it incredibly cost-effective and accessible for businesses of all sizes. But HostAd isn't just for advertisers! It also empowers venue owners to turn their idle screens into a passive income stream. By hosting a free digital screen, they earn money from the airtime sold on the platform, all without any upfront investment. Plus, every ad is enhanced with scannable QR codes that bridge the gap between offline impressions and online engagement, allowing advertisers to track clicks and measure real campaign performance. HostAd is the ultimate tool for anyone looking to make a big impact with local, targeted advertising in Ukraine!

Interactive Map Based Venue Selection

Say goodbye to blind buying! HostAd provides an intuitive, interactive map that displays all available advertising venues in real-time. You can zoom into specific neighborhoods, filter by venue type like cafés or salons, and view detailed profiles including photos, audience demographics, and traffic data. This visual approach lets you handpick the exact locations where your target audience hangs out, ensuring your message reaches the right people at the right place.

Pay by the Second Pricing Model

Traditional advertising forces you to buy fixed blocks of time, often paying for slots that don't deliver value. HostAd flips the script with a revolutionary pay-by-the-second model! You only pay for the exact duration your advertisement plays on each screen. This granular pricing provides unmatched budget control, allowing you to run short, impactful campaigns for as little as a few hundred hryvnias or scale up for massive exposure without wasting a single kopeck.

Integrated QR Code Tracking

Turn passive viewing into active engagement! Every HostAd campaign automatically includes a unique QR code on your digital advertisement. When people scan the code with their phone, they are instantly directed to your website, landing page, or special offer. This feature transforms traditional offline impressions into measurable, trackable online clicks. You can finally see exactly how many people interacted with your ad, providing concrete data to calculate your return on investment.

Full Digital Document Management

Forget about printing, signing, and scanning physical contracts! HostAd handles all administrative tasks through a secure digital document flow. All agreements, invoices, campaign reports, and financial documents are generated automatically and stored in your personal online cabinet. You can access, download, or share them anytime, from any device. This eliminates the weeks of waiting associated with traditional agencies and keeps everything organized in one place.

Local Cafés and Coffee Shops

A new specialty coffee brand wants to promote its seasonal latte in the trendy Podil district of Kyiv. Using HostAd, the brand selects five popular cafés on the map that align with its target demographic of young professionals and students. They launch a 15-second video ad with a QR code offering a discount. Within minutes, the campaign is live on the café screens, and customers scan the code to claim their offer, driving immediate foot traffic and sales.

Beauty Salons and Barbershops

A high-end hair product company launches a new styling gel. They target upscale beauty salons and barbershops across Lviv and Odesa where their ideal customers spend significant time. The campaign runs for one week, showcasing before-and-after transformations on the salon screens. The embedded QR code links directly to an online store with a special "HostAd" discount code, allowing the brand to track conversions directly from the salon audience.

Coworking Spaces and Business Centers

A B2B software provider wants to reach startup founders and remote workers. They book screens in five popular coworking spaces in Kharkiv and Dnipro. The ad runs during peak hours (9 AM to 12 PM) when the spaces are most crowded. The QR code leads to a free trial sign-up page. This targeted approach ensures the software is seen by a highly relevant, tech-savvy audience actively looking for productivity tools.

Franchise Networks and Multi-Location Brands

A national fitness chain with 20 locations across Ukraine wants to promote a New Year membership sale. Instead of negotiating separate deals at each location, they use HostAd's centralized dashboard to select all their own venues on the map. They upload one ad creative and launch a synchronized campaign across every screen. The single dashboard provides a consolidated report showing total impressions, scans, and estimated foot traffic for the entire campaign.

Can I browse available advertising screens without creating an account?

Absolutely! HostAd offers a guest browsing mode where you can freely explore the interactive map, view all available venues, check their specific characteristics like screen size and location, and even see estimated pricing. This allows you to research and plan your campaign without any commitment. However, to actually book a slot, launch a campaign, or access detailed analytics, you will need to complete a quick and free registration.

What payment methods are accepted on the HostAd platform?

HostAd supports a variety of modern and convenient online payment methods to make the process as smooth as possible. You can pay directly through the platform using major credit and debit cards, as well as popular Ukrainian online payment systems. All transactions are processed securely, and you will receive an instant digital receipt. The platform is designed for complete transparency, so you see the final cost before you confirm payment with no hidden fees.

How quickly will my campaign go live after I make a payment?

Speed is the core of HostAd! Once you have selected your venues, uploaded your creative, and completed payment, your campaign is typically reviewed and approved within minutes. In most cases, your advertisement will start playing on the selected screens almost immediately. The platform's automated system handles the entire process, eliminating the days or weeks of waiting you would experience with traditional outdoor advertising agencies.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booked campaign?

HostAd understands that plans can change. The platform provides a flexible policy for managing your bookings. You can modify or cancel your campaign directly from your personal online cabinet. The specific terms, including any applicable refund policies or deadlines for changes, are clearly outlined in your digital contract before you confirm the booking. For any urgent changes or complex requests, the 24/7 online support team is always ready to assist you quickly.
