Dynamic Product Ads: How to Scale Campaigns with Catalog Feeds

This article explains how dynamic product ads work, why they’re essential for scaling performance campaigns, and how to build them faster using tools like Campaign Builder.

Dynamic product ads (DPAs) automatically show the most relevant products to individual users based on their past behavior, interests, or shopping activity. They pull content from a structured product feed - like a CSV, XML, or live Shopify catalog - and insert it into an ad template dynamically.

This lets you run campaigns with personalized creatives across channels like Facebook, Instagram, Google Display, and programmatic networks without designing every ad manually.

If someone visits a product page on your site, adds an item to their cart, or browses a collection, you can show them that exact product later in an ad - with the correct price, image, discount, and availability.

While dynamic ads are powerful, building them at scale comes with a few common challenges:

To solve these issues, more marketers and agencies are turning to visual ad builders like Campaign Builder that support catalog automation while giving you complete creative control.

Campaign Builder is built specifically for teams who want to scale product ads with feeds - but without sacrificing visual quality or brand consistency.

Here’s how it works:
First, you connect your product catalog using CSV, XML, or integrate directly with your Shopify or WooCommerce store. The platform automatically maps your product fields - such as title, price, image, discount, and availability.

Then, you create a flexible ad template using the drag-and-drop editor. You can design with full creative freedom: add text overlays, animated transitions, branding elements, and layout variations.

Once your design is ready, Campaign Builder generates personalized ads for every product in your feed. You can export them in multiple formats, including JPG, PNG, WEBP, MP4, or HTML5, depending on where the ads will be published.

Finally, the platform ensures that everything stays synced. If a price changes in your feed, the output updates automatically. If you want to localize ads for different languages or regions, that can also be automated.

Marketing agencies use Campaign Builder to manage catalog ads for multiple clients at once - with brand-specific templates and streamlined workflows.

E-commerce teams generate dynamic ads for seasonal campaigns, flash sales, and retargeting, saving days of production time while improving ROAS.

Internal teams at retailers use it to quickly test different layouts, CTAs, and product groupings without involving designers or developers.

One of the myths around dynamic product ads is that they all look the same. But with the right tools, you can build branded, visually engaging creatives that update in real time - without sacrificing quality or performance.

This is the gap Campaign Builder fills: combining feed automation with creative flexibility so your dynamic ads actually stand out.

Dynamic product ads are essential for scaling modern ad campaigns. But to make the most of them, you need a workflow that’s both automated and creative.

Campaign Builder lets you turn any product feed into hundreds of unique, high-converting ad creatives - built once, refreshed automatically, and ready to export to any major ad platform.

Whether you’re running ads for 50 products or 5,000, dynamic ads with smart catalog feeds will help you drive better results - with less manual work.Try it today at campaignbuilder.io or book a demo to see how fast you can scale.
