Campaign launch tips

• Set up ads for catalog pages found on the site or upload a file from your computer. These ads will help increase your reach, speed up strategy training, and get more conversions.

• Well-detailed ads deliver better quality and more effective promotion. We recommend adding all the ad elements.

• When launching the campaign, set a sufficient budget to generate at least 10 conversions a week.

• Product campaigns are designed to achieve results based on weekly timeframes. This is also the period you want to look at when analyzing the results.

• The system needs time to train and create the most optimal impression algorithm. In most cases, this takes several weeks. Try to avoid making too many changes to the campaign settings, as this may impact its effectiveness.

• Use tips and hints provided in the campaign, such as examples of generated ads, budget settings, and others recommendations.

Questions and answers

How do I know if a product campaign is right for me?

Product campaigns are perfect for anyone looking to quickly launch a promotion for their online store with minimal setup. This tool can be used to promote both individual products as well as entire catalog pages and even sites.

Where exactly are my product campaign ads served to users?

Your ads appear on Yandex Search (which includes the product gallery) and on multiple sites across the Yandex Advertising Network.

How much does ad placement cost?

You choose your own ad budget depending on your business size, industry, product range, and other factors. You can pay either per click or for specific conversions, such as purchases generated by your ads.

Can I add branding elements to videos? For example, my company logo, model, or product name?

You can add a logo and a short text to your videos. Just make sure they don't cover your product in the video.

How do I measure the effectiveness of a product campaign?

The campaign page provides general statistics on your campaign, information on ad types and elements, as well as statistics on the promotion of specific products. You'll see which products are in high demand and which sell less frequently. You can use this data to optimize your ads or update your online store's products in the future.

You can measure the effectiveness of individual ad elements under Elements. Yandex Direct will compare it with other elements of the same type: titles are compared with titles, texts with texts, and so on. You'll see the final score and will be able to replace the least effective elements.

You can also view statistics by region. This way, you can see exactly which regions and cities generate the most orders in your online store after customers click your ads. For example, you can use this data to allocate a larger marketing budget to the regions that bring in the most money.
