## Supported placement types

Through Epsilon Retail Media's placement capability, we're able to support more placements than outlined in this documentation. The below can be used as thought starters.

### Search

Use search placements to show ads where your customers have entered a keyword search on your site. A simple example of this is asking Epsilon Retail Media for ads on "tops".

### Category

You should use category placements for your category aisles by sending Epsilon Retail Media a simple context of `productFilters` of your taxonomy such as "Category:Cupboard/Snacks"

### Broad match (home page, specials, checkout, etc)

Broad match placements can be used for any other placement such as home pages, specials, checkout, etc.

#### Home page

Your home page can be a simple request of only the placement identifier and any relevant `productFilters` in your request.

#### Specials/sale

If you are synchronising in the product catalog which products are on sale via a consistent filter value, you are able to send any relevant `productFilters` in your request to filter ads accordingly to the placement's business rule such as "type:On-Special","type:New", etc.

#### Checkout

Your home page can be a simple request of only the placement identifier and any relevant `productFilters` in your request.

## Multiple placements in a page

If you're looking to get the most out of your ecommerce site, you're able to make multiple unique requests on the same page. In Epsilon Retail Media you're able to split these out by your requirements such as "Search In Grid" and "Search Below Grid".

<figure><img src="https://3425731255-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FBL8KNnR5myWfc4R7Zbbq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9feb902cabc9a10f9bcdb9f9d98690922e238046%2FMulti_Placement_Page.jpg?alt=media" alt="Multi Placement Page.jpg" width="100%"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This empowers you to gain additional revenue per page view by increasing ad saturation per page, as well as the ability to have different targeting strategies per placement. You are able to have strict search term matching on your "In Grid" placement, and a looser, category ID based matching on your "Below Grid" placement.
