Key features of shopping ads on SmartAds
Increase sales potential in advertising campaigns
Shopping Ads (Product Ads) are designed to support campaigns focused on conversions and sales, especially as e-commerce and online shopping continue to grow rapidly. This advertising format is particularly suitable for campaigns such as:
-
Conversion campaign
-
E-commerce campaign
-
Affiliate marketing
-
Performance marketing
Displaying product images, pricing, and seller information directly within the ad allows users to quickly understand key product details before deciding to visit the product page.
Suitable for a wide range of retail industries
Shopping Ads can be effectively deployed across many popular retail categories such as electronics, home appliances, fashion, cosmetics, mother & baby products, and FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods). Industries with clearly defined products, transparent pricing, and quick purchase intent typically achieve strong performance when using this advertising format.
What advantages do shopping ads on SmartAds offer compared to other platforms?
On many other advertising platforms, when running sales-driven campaigns, products are often distributed across large publisher networks that can be difficult to control. These may include unauthorized movie streaming websites, personal blogs, forums, games, or various applications with inconsistent content quality. In some cases, traffic may originate from low-quality sources or non-authentic users, making it challenging for advertisers to accurately evaluate campaign performance. With SmartAds, brands can:
-
Ensure brand safety: Product ads appear within trusted editorial environments, primarily leading Vietnamese online newspapers such as VnExpress, Dan Tri, Vietnamnet, Thanh Nien, and Tuoi Tre. These platforms maintain strict editorial standards, helping brands avoid the risk of appearing alongside sensitive or unreliable content.
-
Leverage high-quality user data: Shopping Ads utilize real readership data from major news publishers, enabling advertisers to reach audiences actively seeking information and ready to make purchasing decisions.
-
Deliver clear and visual product information: Products, prices, and sellers can appear directly within the ad creative, allowing users to quickly grasp key details before navigating to the purchase page.
-
Optimize conversion performance: Shortening the journey from advertisement to product page helps improve conversion potential, particularly for campaigns focused on sales performance. On the SmartAds platform, the average recorded conversion rate typically ranges from approximately 1.6% to 3.1%.
Integrated with the SmartAds advertising ecosystem
Beyond Shopping Ads (Product Ads), the SmartAds ecosystem also includes multiple formats such as Native Article Ads, Performance Video Ads, Display Ads, and Brand Video Ads.
When these formats are combined, brands can go beyond simple product promotion to tell compelling brand stories, build consumer trust, and drive purchasing decisions within a single integrated campaign. This approach reflects the concept of brandformance marketing: simultaneously strengthening brand awareness while optimizing sales performance within the same advertising platform.
