MAJOR KEY ALERT: Dynamic Product Ads are now live on Instagram!

Great news! Instagram for Business now offers Dynamic Product Ads. This is huge for all e-commerce merchants who uses their Facebook Pixel to retarget their customers on social media.

What are Dynamic Product Ads?

Using the power of the Facebook Pixel, Dynamic Product Ads allow e-commerce merchants to showcase specific products that a customer has previously viewed inside Facebook and Instagram sponsored posts. For example, a customer who visits your website and views a pair of sandals will later see that same pair of sandals in their Facebook and Instagram newsfeeds. Using Dynamic Product Ads is one of the most effective retargeting strategies because it creates personalized advertisements for each customer and puts high relevant products to the top of their mind.

Why is this a big deal?

Instagram ads are currently in a state of infancy, which leads to extraordinary user engagement. Simply put, people aren’t tired (yet) of seeing ads in their Instagram feeds. This heightened engagement, coupled with the ability to showcase the exact products your customers were looking at in their Instagram feed, makes Dynamic Product Ads on Instagram a staple part of any sophisticated merchant’s advertising strategy.
