Operator Best Practices¶
Overview¶
These best practices are drawn from experience across Lucit's operator network. Operators who follow these approaches consistently see stronger advertiser adoption, higher campaign quality, and better long-term retention.
1. Show Every Client What's Possible¶
The single most important driver of Lucit adoption is demonstrating it.
Do not pre-qualify which clients you think will be interested in dynamic creatives. Show Lucit to every advertiser — in pitches, in renewal meetings, and in regular check-ins. Clients who have never seen a real-time, data-driven billboard ad are often immediately excited once they understand what's possible.
Use LucitXR to create a proof on their specific screen during the meeting. Having a client see their logo or product on a photorealistic image of the actual billboard they're buying is a powerful close.
See LucitXR Preview and Proofing.
2. Generate Dynamic Creative Ideas Proactively¶
Don't wait for clients to ask for dynamic creatives — show up with ideas already prepared.
Before a client meeting, think through 2–3 specific dynamic campaign concepts that would be relevant to their business. Examples:
- Automotive dealer: Live inventory feed showing current vehicles in stock with today's pricing
- Restaurant: Daypart-based creative showing breakfast menu in the morning, lunch specials at noon, and dinner offerings in the evening
- Retail: Real-time sale or promotional creative tied to their eCommerce inventory
- Real estate: Live listing feed showing current homes for sale or lease
- Weather-responsive: Ad for a seasonal product that only shows when weather conditions match (umbrellas on rainy days, sunscreen on hot days)
Dynamic creatives are often a genuinely new concept to clients. Presenting a concrete idea makes it easy for them to say yes.
3. Target Social-Media-Active Clients First¶
Clients who already manage social media advertising are natural Lucit adopters.
If a client is actively running Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok campaigns, they already understand: - Real-time creative management - Posting and updating ads from their phone - Seeing immediate results and making adjustments
For these clients, the Lucit pitch is simple:
"Do you want to control this billboard the same way you manage your Instagram?"
This framing immediately makes Lucit feel familiar rather than intimidating, and removes the learning curve as an objection.
4. Build Lucit Into Your Pricing¶
Avoid presenting Lucit as a $19/month add-on line item.
When operators separate Lucit as a visible add-on cost, clients often decline on principle — not because of the value, but because it looks like a fee. Instead:
- Bake the cost into your overall campaign pricing for all new campaigns going forward
- Clients get the full Lucit experience without a separate line-item conversation
- As new campaigns come in with the cost built in, you quickly start covering the cost of existing legacy contracts, since not all existing clients will be using Lucit yet
This pricing strategy accelerates adoption significantly and removes a common sales objection.
5. Leverage Dynamic Creatives as a Sales Tool¶
Dynamic creatives are a killer sales pitch — use them to win new business.
The ability to say "Your billboard updates automatically when you get a new car in, change a price, or run a sale" is a genuinely differentiated pitch in the OOH market. Many advertisers have never heard this before.
Use dynamic capabilities to: - Win competitive pitches: Compete against static-only operators by offering a capability they cannot match - Upsell existing clients: Re-engage current advertisers who have let campaigns go stale by showing them what's possible - Enter new verticals: Categories like automotive, real estate, and eCommerce are natural fits for data-driven dynamic campaigns
6. Use the Standing Meeting for Client-Specific Ideas¶
Take advantage of the monthly or bi-monthly Lucit standing meeting to:
- Bring specific client scenarios and brainstorm dynamic campaign ideas together
- Stay current on new apps, data source integrations, and platform features
- Share what's working across your team
See Onboarding and Implementation for details on the standing meeting cadence.
7. Set Up Defaults and Guardrails Before Going Live¶
Before handing access to clients:
- Set a fallback creative at the account or campaign level so screens always have something to show
- Configure approval workflows appropriate for the client's trust level
- Assign the correct role to the client user — not everyone needs admin access
