Important updates to the Shopee Ads interface

New Product Ads Structure

Shopee has just rolled out a new update in the product advertising structure. This will help classify and display ads more effectively. Now, Product Search Ads and Shop Search Ads are clearly separated in terms of display positions, allowing advertisers to reach their target customers more optimally. With this change, sellers can choose between two specific types of ads, based on their needs and strategies. This separation helps ads not only reach potential customers more accurately but also increases the ability to generate better revenue by focusing precisely on customer needs.

Enhance effective ad management

Shopee has made an important improvement in ad management to help sellers optimize their campaign effectiveness. Specifically, this update improves buyer targeting and ROAS (Return On Ad Spend) targeting, making it easier for sellers to manage and allocate ads based on performance. The buyer targeting improvement helps sellers adjust ads for specific customer groups. As for ROAS targeting, Shopee enables sellers to focus on cost optimization, ensuring every dollar spent on advertising brings value.

Simplify Ad Budget configuration settings

Shopee also focuses on optimizing the ad budget setup process to help sellers more easily control advertising costs. Instead of having to set up many complicated budget types, Shopee now reduces it to just two main types: Daily Budget and Unlimited Budget. This helps sellers be more flexible in managing advertising costs without worrying about overspending or lacking budget for ad campaigns.

ROAS metric will be displayed directly on the Ads Overview page

The next update helps advertisers easily track and evaluate their ad performance through the ROAS metric displayed right on the ad dashboard. The ROAS metric is an important measure to know the success level of advertising campaigns, so sellers can make decisions to adjust campaigns for better effectiveness. Having ROAS right on the dashboard helps sellers closely monitor ad performance, allowing flexible budget or strategy adjustments when needed, without having to dive deep into complex reports.

Permanently delete your ad with the Delete function

A new feature added by Shopee is the ability to permanently delete ads from the ad dashboard. This new feature allows sellers to be more proactive in organizing their campaigns neatly, removing ads that are no longer relevant or necessary. With the permanent delete feature, sellers don't have to worry about managing a long list of unnecessary ads, thereby optimizing the experience and saving time on effective ad management.

Create all Ads on one page

To help sellers save time and enhance their experience, Shopee has combined ad settings into a single page. Previously, to create different ad campaigns, sellers had to move back and forth between different pages. With this new update, all Search and Discovery ads can be set up on the same page. This consolidation helps sellers easily adjust and manage campaigns, minimizing operation time, thereby improving the overall experience and allowing sellers to focus on more important factors in their advertising strategy.

What are the benefits of the upgraded Shopee Ads interface?

This helps you optimize your budget, avoid waste, and achieve your business goals efficiently.
