In short

What makes a good ad idea for a product?

A good ad idea starts with one reason to buy that your store can prove: a price, a review, an ingredient, a burn time. The idea is how you say it: as an offer, a quote, a question or a comparison. Each page here shows ideas for one occasion or product, made into real sample ads.

How these pages are made

Most lists of ad ideas show famous TV spots or Pinterest boards. That's inspiration, but it doesn't tell a small brand what to put on next week's ad. These pages are built the other way round: start from a product and its facts, pick a reason to buy, then show the ad.

Every sample ad is real engine output for a fictional store, one per category (Pip & Oak candles, Orsolune perfume, Northvale protein powder and 22 more), made from a product photo and the store's data. The prices, ratings and offers in them are those stores' made-up facts, and each ad passed the same fact check your own ads get.
