FAQ

E-commerce ads — questions

What kind of ads work best for e-commerce?
Problem-aware creative that names the buyer's frustration before the product, paired with specific proof (durability, fit, cost-per-wear) and a risk reversal. Generic product shots underperform concept-led ads grounded in a real objection.
How do I stop my e-commerce ads from fatiguing?
Rotate the angle, not just the image. Spread concepts across problem-aware, founder-story, social-proof, and risk-reversal angles so the audience sees genuinely different messages rather than recolored versions of one.
