Piper/House Ads

Use empty ad space to promote your own work

House ads turn spare publisher inventory into useful promotion. Piper lets you manage those creatives centrally, assign them to known slots, and pause or replace them without repeatedly editing your site templates.

how it works

Approve. Build. Place.

Piper keeps publisher setup understandable enough that you can see where every creative is allowed to run.

01

Approve a website

Add a domain your organization controls. Piper uses the approved publisher list as the boundary for placements.

02

Create the creative

Upload an image or add a bounded HTML creative, choose its destination, and assign the eligible placement.

03

Paste the slot

Install the Piper loader once and place named slots where ads should appear. A slot receives one eligible creative per page load.

house advertising

Make your own inventory useful

A house ad can promote whatever deserves attention now, then disappear or change when the priority moves.

1

Promote what matters

Use your own inventory for a newsletter, event, product, service, membership, or another page on your network.

2

Change centrally

Swap or pause a creative in Piper instead of chasing the same promotion through multiple templates and pages.

3

Mix with sponsors

The same approved-site and slot model can support your own promotion today and a direct sponsor campaign later.

free & premium

Small by design, with clear ceilings on both plans.

Piper starts conservative so a public launch cannot quietly turn into unlimited inventory, storage, or analytics growth.

questions

Good things to know

What is a house ad?

A house ad is an advertisement for the publisher’s own product, service, content, event, newsletter, or other priority rather than a third-party advertiser.

Do I need an ad network to run house ads?

No. Piper is designed to let you serve your own creative directly on websites you control.

Can a house ad be HTML?

Yes. Piper supports image and HTML creatives, with HTML rendered in a sandboxed delivery surface.

Can I schedule house ads?

Scheduling start and end windows is a Piper Premium feature.
