# Cross Promotion

_Advertise your new Awesome App in your existing Popular Apps with Chartboost Cross-Promotion Campaigns._

## Before You Begin

-   Make sure to  [add your apps](/en/monetization/publishing/adding-your-first-app-and-campaign/)  before creating your Cross-Promotion campaigns.
-   The promoting app is required to have  [Chartboost SDK integrated](/en/monetization/get-started/#sdk-integration). If you want to track installs or later monetize the promoted app, you should add the Chartboost SDK in this app too.
-   If you're only planning to advertise one of your apps via cross-promotion, you may also use  [Server-to-Server tracking](/en/advertising/s2stracking/setting-up-s2s-tracking/).
-   If you want to use cross-promotion in your Mediation setup, please get in touch with your account manager.



## Start A New Cross-Promotion Campaign

-   From your dashboard navigation, go to  **Advertising > Cross Promotion**.
-   Click  **+ Add a New Campaign**.
-   Name your Cross-Promotion campaign and select the game you wanna advertise in the  **"App Advertising in this Campaign"**  drop-down. In the "**Select Apps"**  section, select the app that will publish your new game. Note that this can't be the same as the app that is being promoted since you can't promote a game in itself



## Set Campaign Priority Under Logic

When creating a new cross-promotion campaign you must choose priority by campaign or by location under Logic.

We recommend that you use different locations for cross-promotion and standard network monetization.



If you have separate locations for cross-promotion and standard network monetization then you will need to set priority **By Location**.

-   Click on **By Location**, then select the campaign priority for  [ad locations](/en/monetization/publishing/ad-locations/)  in the new prompt window.
-   Set priority between  **Low to Highest**  for any locations that are intended to serve cross-promotion.
-   Set  **Never Show**  for any locations that are intended to serve standard network monetization.

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  Note: The <b>By Location</b> option will only be visible once you start sending us ad requests with ad locations.
</div>

In rare cases where you do not separate locations for cross-promotion and standard network monetization, then you can select **Campaign Default** priority between  **Low and Highest**  for the campaign.



If you don't actively set a campaign priority, your cross-promotion campaign won't show in any named locations (different from the default one) since it will be automatically set to  **By Location > Never Show**.

If you're running multiple campaigns, Chartboost serves the ads in order of priority, from highest to lowest.

-   We will serve the highest priority campaign with as many ads as possible. When we don't have any more ads to serve that campaign, we will move down to the next-highest priority.
-   If two campaigns have the same priority, we will give them both an equal chance to show ads.

Under  **campaign frequency**  select how often you want to cross-promote your app.



## Upload Your Advertising Creatives

Adding targets to your campaign can show the right ads to the right players, therefore helping you get the most click-throughs and view-throughs. This will give you the greatest potential to earn revenue.

-   Go to  **Campaign Targeting**  and enter a name for your first target.
-   By default, your target will include all countries, all device types, all players, etc. Customize your target towards specific players, countries, game genres, and more.
-   Use  [dashboard analytics](/en/monetization/viewing-analytics/)  to determine the effectiveness of your campaign.  



## Things To Note

-   If you've previously installed the game you're trying to promote, the interstitial showing it off will not appear on your device. We do not advertise apps that a user already installed.
-   Some of your cross-promotion impressions will go to our network.
-   Apps that have  [opted out of behavioral targeting](/en/faq/coppa/)  **CANNOT**  start a cross-promotion campaign.
-   If you are using Chartboost SDK for cross-promotion install attribution, make sure advertising apps and publishing apps in your cross-promotion campaigns have all been updated to Chartboost iOS SDK 8.3.1 and above. Your advertising apps and publishing apps need to be under the same Apple Developer account.
