When to use Adobe Device Co-op

[jeffnomina]

My understanding is that if you build a segment with the device co-op as the profile merge rule, you can ONLY reach people who are in the device co-op. This would severely limit the segment size and exclude those who qualify for the segment based on the traits but are not part of the device co-op.

How have others implemented segments using the co-op? For something simple like a suppression use case does it make sense to create two segments – one with a merge rule of “No Authenticated” to maximize the scale of the segment and another with the “Co-op” merge rule to make sure you’re finding your audience across multiple devices?

Can someone confirm if my initial understanding is correct and the best way to use the co-op? I want to maximize the size of my segments but also benefit from finding users across multiple devices.

Thanks

Hi jeffnomina​,

Yes your approach is correct to maximise the coverage of visitors.

This in turn leads you to be more specific/sophisticated in your approach towards respective channel related marketing and hence impact to conversion.

Hi jeffnomina

Were you able to follow the approach and achieve desired results using the combination?

After speaking with someone at Summit, I was assured the Co-op is large enough there are very few people that would be missed by only using this profile merge rule, so I have been using this exclusively with positive results thus far.

Thanks!

Hi jeffnomina,

Regarding:

"I was assured the Co-op is large enough there are very few people that would be missed by only using this profile merge rule"

I was under impression that Adobe Device Co-op is still only available for the US and Canada. Has something changed?

Do you have any reports or whitepapers evaluating its coverage?
