Boost Your TikTok Ad Campaigns with New Image Ads

Are you looking to enhance your TikTok ad campaigns without spending extra time on video production?

July 19, 2024

TikTok has introduced a new feature – Image Ads – designed to make the creation of ads on the platform easier than ever.

 


Simplifying Creative Diversity

Image posts have become increasingly popular on TikTok, as the platform has started to evolve from its short-form video content roots. The new format allows you to utilise your existing image assets directly within TikTok Ads Manager. This streamlines the creation process, making ads more dynamic and easy to create.

Two New Ad Formats
  • Standard Carousel: Upload multiple images to create a sequential in-feed ad that serves as an engaging alternative to videos.
  • VSA (Video Shopping Ads) Carousel: Leverage your catalogue images for creative ads, seamlessly integrating your existing product visuals.

For a smoother transition, TikTok’s asset migration tool helps you efficiently import image assets from other libraries.

 


Benefits of TikTok Image Ads
  • Cost-Effective Production: Bypass the time and expense associated with video production by repurposing your existing image assets. This approach not only saves resources but also accelerates the creative process.
  • Highlight Multiple Products: Each slide in a Carousel ad can feature a different product or service, providing a comprehensive showcase of your offerings in a single ad format.
  • Innovative Storytelling: Capture your audience’s attention with compelling product highlights. This format is particularly effective for holiday promotions (only 159 days til Christmas 🎄) and competitive marketing campaigns.

 


 

To start using TikTok Image Ads, log into your TikTok Ads Manager account and create a new campaign, filling in the required details for your ad group. Currently, Image Ads are available for Web Conversion, Traffic, App Promotion, and Product Sales objectives. Choose between Single Image or Carousel formats, upload your selected images, add music, fill in the ad text, and select a call to action (CTA). Once set up, you’re all ready to go.

By incorporating TikTok’s Image Ads into your marketing strategy, you can achieve a higher level of creative diversity and efficiency. This innovative ad format not only saves on production costs but also enhances your ability to engage with a broader audience through compelling and dynamic content.
