Hotels in the DOOH ecosystem

Hotel DOOH is one of the most engagement-rich categories because the audience is captive, in a non-resident environment, and primed for discovery, travelers actively look for things to do, eat, and buy in unfamiliar markets. The Trillboards hotel footprint concentrates in tourism markets (Myrtle Beach, Miami Beach, Las Vegas) plus select international destinations. The average $3.60 USD floor CPM and 1,488 daily impressions per screen make this one of the highest-yielding categories on the network, premium resort and conference hotels routinely clear $5–7 CPM during peak season. Buyer demand spans dining (local restaurant promotion), entertainment (shows, attractions), travel (next-stop bookings), and consumer technology.


How the buy executes at hotels

Each screen runs the Trillboards kiosk app on an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to our SSP. Roughly every 60 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor, venue category, location, screen format, plus the live audience measurements from the on-device CV pipeline.

Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms. The winning creative ships back, plays in the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback with a signed proof-of-play receipt. Those receipts reconcile daily against partner-reported numbers, which is the record we bill against.

We serve first-party and third-party VAST, OMID viewability where the creative declares it, and device-signed proof of play, meeting the OAAA measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers on our OpenRTB endpoint target hotels through the IAB Audience Taxonomy and the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace, and receive no per-screen identifiers in the bid request.


If you own the venue

Hotel operators host Trillboards screens in lobby seating, near the elevator banks, and in restaurant waiting areas. Independent hotel owners and small-chain operators are the dominant Trillboards earner segment in this category; major chains have separate enterprise contracts.
