What are Dynamic Product Ads (DPA)?
Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) are a type of Facebook ad that allow businesses to showcase their products in a highly personalized and relevant way. DPAs are generated automatically from a business’s product catalog, and they are designed to be shown to people who have already expressed interest in that business’s products.
How do Dynamic Product Ads work?
When a business creates a DPA, Facebook will automatically generate ads for each of the products in the catalog. These ads will be personalized for each individual user, based on that user’s past interactions with the business. For example, if a user has previously viewed a product on the business’s website, Facebook will show that user an ad for that same product.
