Best eCommerce Facebook Ads: 9 Types of Ads 

Image ads

An image ad is a good way to advertise your product:

• It is easy to create
• You can use it to boost an existing post by using an image from your Facebook page.
• Even though image ads are simple, they can be very attractive if you include the right caption, CTA, and subject.
• Image ads can be used in the Facebook news feed
• You can ask people to learn more about your service, brand, or product
• You can show off your brand personality.

Facebook recommends using high-resolution images, to avoid too much text on the image, focus on your main message, and keep in mind the aspect ratio.

Facebook video ad

You can use a video ad format on your Facebook Newsfeed to capture the attention of your audience and tell the story of your brand.

You can create a video ad from Ads Manager, or you can boost a post that includes a video from your Facebook page. 

A video ad is meant to convey a simple and clear message and to encourage people to take an action.

Tip: Remember that shorter videos are more engaging, especially when viewed on mobile devices. Video ads are more compelling than just images and are more likely to convert.

Poll ads

Poll ads allow you to interact with your audience: you can add a poll to your video or image ad.

For your poll ad to be successful, upload the supported file format and keep in mind the minimum aspect ratio. 

After an individual chooses an answer on your poll ad, they can view the percentage of how many people voted on each answer.

Through Ads Manager, you can see:

• How many people engaged with your poll
• The reach
• The aggregated poll results.

Carousel ads

In carousel ads, you can use up to 10 images or videos to advertise your brand.

This type of ad is beneficial when you want to highlight the advantages of a single product or different products to create a broad image.

Tip: You can also add a link to each video or image and add a CTA (such as the “Shop Now” button).

Collection ads

Collection ads are only for mobile devices and you can show five videos or images that a customer can directly click on if they want to buy your product or service. 

You can advertise one or more related products. Shopping is easy when using collection ads, and the customer does not need to leave the Facebook platform to make a purchase.

Slideshow abs

A slideshow ad is a short video ad that is made up of a collection of text, still photos, or existing videos.

They are similar to video ads, but use lesser data and have a rhythmic motion. 

A slideshow ad works well for those customers with a slow internet connection. Text or music can be added within the slideshow.

Dynamic ads

Dynamic ads will allow you to promote targeted products to customers who are most likely interested in them. 

Dynamic ads can be shown on Facebook and are excellent to use for abandoned carts on your website. It will remind the customer to complete their purchase and can increase your total ROI.

Augmented reality ads

As the term suggests an augmented reality ad uses filters and animation to allow people to take selfies with a filter and interact with your brand.

For example, if you sell spectacle frames, a customer can see how well the frame suits their face. This type of ad is great for cosmetic and accessories brands.

Use attractive images

Since Facebook has a massive reach, and most people view Facebook on their mobile phones, it is advisable to optimize your ads for mobile devices too as it will boost your conversion possibilities.

• “Shop Now”
• “Find XYZ Product Here”
• "Discover more"

Whether you are creating ads to target new customers, or creating ads for those who have abandoned carts, your statement should be clear. 

Make sure to include a photo of the item in the ad and link it to the merchandise so that customers can easily complete the order.

Colors are just as important as using the right text and images. The right colors will attract the attention of your audience and define your brand identity. Colors also play a significant role in relating the emotion of your ad.
