Are You Testing Your Dynamic Facebook Ads?

Fun facts: 96% of people leave a website without converting, and 70% of people abandon their shopping cart. Dynamic retargeting is awesome for e­commerce advertisers because it reminds potential shoppers to come back to their site and purchase the exact product they were viewing. Dynamic retargeting helps turn etailers’ products into personalised Facebook ads so that your visitors can get a more intimate, personalised ad experience that drives them to convert.

To give you an idea of the results, some of our advertisers have seen a 400% boost in CTR, 10 to 20% boost in conversion rates and a 30 to 40% drop in CPA.

Advertisers can choose to do dynamic ads on either the Facebook right-hand side, the Facebook News Feed, or both. We would recommend running both types of campaigns to make sure you’re not missing out on valuable impressions.

What kind of information should you include in the headline? If you include dynamic information in your headline, should the body text be static? Should I implement the same strategy for both Sidebar and News Feed ads?
The text limits with Sidebar ads are restrictive. We recommend keeping the headline text static with a short call to action.  Save the dynamic variables like the name of the product and the price for the body text, like the ad below:
