(DPA)

Dynamic Product Ads

Deliver the most relevant product to the right customer at the right time. 

Dynamic Product Ads on Twitter leverage the latest Web Conversions products, Dynamic Product Ads can help advertisers improve Cost Per Purchase and return on ads spend (ROAS) on Twitter.

With DPA Retargeting, you can serve ads to targeted consumers,  featuring products they have engaged with (e.g. added to their shopping cart) on your website but haven’t yet purchased. 

With DPA Prospecting, you can acquire new customers who haven’t visited your website with ads featuring products from your catalog that are most relevant to them.

Example of a Dynamic Product ad

Tips for Configuring a Dynamic Product Ads Campaign

- DPA supports prospecting and retargeting campaigns. However, for retargeting campaigns, you will need to create Catalog Activity Audiences (people who have interacted with products in your catalog, etc.) and later select them when creating your DPA campaigns.

- For maximum audience sizes, we strongly recommend including a relevant List Custom Audiences.

- On ads.twitter.com, you can create a DPA campaign under the Conversions (recommended) or Website Traffic objectives.

- Twitter recently launched updates to the Terms and Conditions governing the use of Twitter’s ads and measurement products. If you are prompted while configuring your campaign, review and accept the terms before proceeding. Twitter’s master service agreement can be found here.
