Meta is revolutionizing e-commerce advertising with the introduction of video Catalog Product Ads, a game-changing feature that allows businesses to showcase their products in a more engaging and dynamic way. This new ad format combines the power of video with the precision of catalog product ads, enabling advertisers to reach their target audience more effectively.
With Catalog Product Ads, businesses can upload their entire product catalog to Meta’s system, which then uses AI to display the most relevant products to each user. This ad format can be targeted based on similar products that users have shown an interest in or specific products they have checked out on a website. Now, with the addition of video, businesses can take their advertising to the next level.
The video Catalog Product Ads can be displayed across Reels, Feed, and Stories, and Meta’s automated display process ensures that they reach the most interested users. This new feature is available to all advertisers via Advantage+, making it easier than ever to create impactful and effective ad campaigns.

To maximize the effectiveness of video Catalog Product Ads, Meta recommends keeping video elements short and sweet, hooking the audience within the first two seconds and providing a clear call-to-action within five to six seconds. Additionally, businesses should be aware of “safe zones” for video content to avoid having their messages obscured by the UI.
With video consumption accounting for 50% of the time spent on Facebook and Instagram, this new ad format is poised to be a valuable addition to the existing Catalog Ad offering. Get ready to take your e-commerce advertising to new heights with Meta’s video Catalog Product Ads!
