    What are Dynamic Product Ads?

    Ever wished for a marketing genie that showcases the right product to the right person at the right time?- Enter Dynamic Product Ads! 

    These nifty ads automatically promote your products to users based on their interests and online behavior. It's like having a personal shopper for each pinner, ensuring they see products that make them go, "I need this in my life!"

    How do Pinterest DPAs work?

    Imagine Pinterest as a bustling marketplace where every user has unique tastes. Pinterest DPAs tap into this by using your product catalog and the Pinterest tag on your website. When a user shows interest in products similar to yours, Pinterest dynamically serves them your relevant ads. 

    It's like matchmaking for shopping—connecting your products with users who are already in the mood to discover and purchase. You can learn more about scaling your product campaign here.

    Types of Pinterest DPA 

    Variety is the spice of life, and Pinterest doesn't disappoint. 

    Below are the different types of DPAs you can use to tantalize your audience:

    Standard DPAs: 

    The classic choice. These ads feature a single image of your product, directly linking to your website. Perfect for showcasing individual products with simplicity and elegance.

    Video DPAs: 

    Bring your products to life with engaging videos that capture attention and demonstrate your product's features in motion.

    Carousel DPAs: 

    Why settle for one when you can have multiple? Carousel ads allow users to swipe through a series of images, and showcase different products or various features of a single product. It's storytelling with a swipe.

    Collection DPAs: 

    Create a curated experience by combining a large hero image or video with several smaller product images. This format is ideal for highlighting a lifestyle and the products that complement it.

    Each format offers a unique way to present your products, so mix and match to see what resonates best with your audience.
