Turbocharge Your Meta Adv+ Catalog Ads For A Sweet, Sweet Summer.

Remember when dynamic ads on Meta could get you 10X ROAS and all you needed was a plain catalog feed?

Now, in the post-iOS14 world, a plain product feed simply cannot compete.

But that’s no reason to stop running dynamic ads. Rebranded as Meta Advantage+ catalog ads, these ads are still some of the most profitable ads you can run — whether you’re using them for retargeting or prospecting.

And the best part is that unlike single image or video ads that have a shorter lifecycle, catalog ads’ learnings effectively make them timeless.

But you do have to update and test your creatives. (Yes, even for dynamic catalog ads.)

Here are 8 ways in which you can customize your Meta Adv+ catalog ads to bring you mad returns.

All without the work of having to change creatives manually.

+ No more losing catalog-level learnings!

So pack your suitcase. You can finally take that beach holiday you’ve been dreaming about.

Looking For Ad Ideas? Don’t Look At What Other Brands Are Doing.

Looking for new ad ideas?

While competitors are a great reference point for new ad ideas, it’s important to find out where your customers spend the most time-consuming content.

One of the best ways to do this is to study their favorite content creators.

Why?

Because your goal is not to make ads, it’s to make content that speaks to your customers.

Here’s a super simple step-by-step guide to setting up an email marketing strategy for your brand.

#FeaturedAd - Posh Peanut

Brand: Posh PeanutCategory: Kids ApparelFormat: Single Image (Feed)

WHY IT WORKS:

It’s a great offer.

AND

The ad creative tells your shoppers exactly what they need to know.

If you’re extending your sale and have a great offer, all you need is a product picture (even half will do!) and clear text that announces the offer.

No need for heavily designed creatives — why bother when all your customers want to do is get to their shopping carts?

#BrandedCatalog Spotlight - Yevu Clothing

Brand: Yevu ClothingCategory: ApparelTemplate type: Background removed with logo and dynamic price

WHY IT WORKS:

• The catalog used the brand’s stunning prints to great effect, in keeping with their brand identity.

• The plain white background was replaced with a print, creating an eye-catching juxtaposition of print on print that easily stood out in the customers’ feed.

• Finally, the brand added a block to convey key information — the brand’s logo and the product price — in a visually attractive manner.
