Deep dives

Understanding Dynamic Product Ads (DPA)

Dynamic Product Ads (DPA), also known as catalog ads, are crucial for driving conversions directly from the product pages. Unlike traditional ads where specific images or videos are uploaded, DPAs use a live spreadsheet of products from the retailer's catalog to serve relevant ads based on user preferences. This approach allows for dynamic matching of products to potential buyers, making it efficient for both discovery and sales. As evidenced by recent data, DPA has become significantly more prominent in ad spend, with some sectors revealing that approximately 24% of total ad expenditure is now allocated to catalog ads.
