The remaining ads (also known as left or last-minute ads ) refers to ad space that the media company can not sell.
Depending on the medium, it can be either advertising space or time. Often it can be bought at a steep discount. Ad time and space are perishable commodities. If not sold, lost, used for "home advertising", or provided for public service announcements or some other non-income production fillers. However, instead of taking a loss for broadcast time or unsold ad space, media outlets will often be far less than their usual retail charges to unload their remaining space. This means that advertisers can buy what is usually expensive for much less money than usual. Although space and/or time is sold at a sharply discounted price, media sellers also benefit, monetizing inventory that should be thrown into waste.
Companies that want to take advantage of last minute advertising space should make it easy for media sources to work with them and use their ads. Because this advertising space appears in the last minute, media companies often prefer to offer opportunities to their large advertisers because they have a ready budget, ad departments that can create ads quickly, and managers who can make decisions quickly. If newcomers want these kinds of opportunities to come, they should be easy to work with large advertisers. Newcomers should tell their ad representatives that they are interested, and set aside some money and have ads ready to go quickly. Because space is bought at the last minute, advertisers must have the ability to make quick decisions for creative units, and have the ability to quickly gauge how these last minute purchases fit and/or affect their budget. One caveat regarding the purchase of ads remaining on radio, TV, and internet is that this ad space and/or time is entirely predictable. Preemptable numbers may cause competition between advertisers when bid for general marketplace advertising space as well as ad space remaining. Anyone who bargains a higher amount with a media company wins surplus inventory.
The last minute advertising is a way to stretch the company's advertising budget away, but sometimes it's not the easiest way to operate because this is the last minute. Companies must be prepared to act quickly.

Differences by media type
The way most advertisers are able to use last minute advertising to their advantage depends on the media type:
Newspapers
Because it is often published every day and has a fairly customized format, they offer plenty of room space left over. One of the success factors, especially with newspapers, is the advertiser's desire to accept smaller residual ads, as they are the ones that may be needed to fill the paper.
Magazines
One of the greatest opportunities left lies in national magazines in the United States. Such magazines print regional editions, and sell regional ads. If they fail to sell all regional (fairly common) ads, or sell odd numbers, unsold inventory is an opportunity for advertisers.
However, even smaller magazines offer the remaining ads. Magazines create their editorial content based on, among other things, the number of ads sold. But sometimes advertisers come back out, or end up with smaller ads, or skip deadlines, or magazines end up with additional content, all of which creates an opportunity for other advertisers who can log in at the last minute.
Radio
Radio is one of the best mediums for residual purchases because - unlike print media that can be expanded and contracted to some extent as needed - limited radio advertising. There are a number of fixed points within an hour to fill. So, even more than any other type of media, advertisers have a greater chance of getting a discounted advertising space on the radio. And the discount can range from 25% to 75% of the retail price.
Television
Proliferation of growing television stations - be it network, cable, or satellite - is good news for advertisers. There is plenty of remaining television space to be had and discounts can be as high as 90% of the rate cards.
Outdoors
Everywhere you look you see an unfilled billboard. While this is not a last minute advertisement in the strictest sense because often these spaces are not occupied for long, this is the main form of residual advertising and should not be ignored by companies looking for opportunities to advertise especially for short bursts.
Sponsor
Many sports and other events can not get the advertisers they want. This is another form of residual advertising. While major sporting events like Super Bowl or Formula One sell their advertising and sponsorship opportunities with ease, there are many less glamorous sports and sportsmen who need to raise funds quickly and at the last minute.
Online advertising
Online, because its real-time delivery model, in theory, is the perfect place to execute the rest of the inventory offer. With historically low sales on sites or ads and pageviews rising dramatically and unexpectedly, creating a hopper containing the rest of your inventory offerings is a great way to ensure you maximize ad revenue from your inventory. Often, these deals are managed through a network of sites from a centralized ad server or advertising system. Less expensive transactions, often CPA (Cost per Action) or CPC (Cost per Click), will often run in this way and will compete against each other on a normalized CPM basis (effective cost per thousand [impressions]). Because this impression, by definition, is based on residual inventory, the impression rate is not guaranteed and advertisers will only pay for what they get.
