Uses for Carousel Ads

Carousel Ads can be used in the following methods:

  • Showcase multiple products or services: Users can view multiple products or services by swiping across a single Carousel Ad. Each image on the Carousel can feature a different item and give users a broader view of what your business offers.

  • Tell a Deeper Story: Carousel Ads provide you with the opportunity to showcase a single product with the ability to share more indepth product information. The opportunity to share additional information can create a more engaging narrative that enriches the audience's knowledge of a specific product.

  • Test and learn: Carousel Ads allow you to experiment and observe which elements resonate most with the audience. You can measure the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) on each image to gain insights into the effectiveness of different images and headlines.
