Pre-Population for Link Out Offers

One benefit of the Aptimus ad serving platform is the ability to send basic consumer data to a client's website. This process pre-fills the client order page with information previously entered by the consumer to reduce the order barrier and increase conversion rates.

To set-up pre-population of consumer data previously collected by Aptimus, please ensure landing page(s) meet the following requirements:

  • The client promotion page will need to be setup to accept data passed on the query string (HTTP GET, Name/Value pairs). Aptimus will use the client's parameter names to transfer the consumer data, however the page will need to set up to read and pre-populate the information into the registration form. Typically this is handled through server-side code.
  • If you have a muliple page process, ensure the landing page forwards all Aptimus parameters (transferred on the query string) to subsequent pages.
Sample Advertiser Registration Page With Pre-Population:

http://www.yoursite.com?fname=Jane&lname=Smith&email=janes@yahoo.com&zip=98121

As you see in the link above, all consumer data appended to the URL is sent to the client landing page, pre-populating client data fields. Additional consumer data can be sent via this process as well; typically full postal address is sent in addition to the information appended above.
