Broadstreet offers the option to archive old advertisers. Archiving an advertiser is a way to declutter your dashboard of old customers without losing any of their associated data. When you archive an advertiser their advertisements and campaigns will continue to run as they’ve been scheduled. Archiving simply removes an advertiser from your main dashboard, it does not remove any of their data which is why it is a good alternative to deleting an advertiser.

The process to archive an advertiser is easy in Broadstreet and is a good option if you do not have an advertiser as a client anymore but wish to keep their data. Archived advertisers can be viewed at any time and easily changed back to active. 

The summaries below walk you through the details and steps of archiving and unarchiving advertisers.
