TikTok Video Shopping Ads (VSA)
If you have 500 products, you can't make 500 videos. You need automation. You need Video Shopping Ads (VSA). This is TikTok's version of Facebook's DPA (Dynamic Product Ads).
How it Works
- Sync Catalog: Connect Shopify to TikTok Ads Manager.
- User Visits: User views "Red Dress" on your site but doesn't buy.
- Ad Creation: TikTok automatically generates a video for "Red Dress."
- It pulls the product image.
- It adds a "Template" (Music + Dynamics).
- It shows it to the user.
The "Template" Trap
Most VSA templates are ugly. They look like a PowerPoint presentation from 2005. The Fix: Use Custom Templates. Design a nice border, add your logo, and use a trendy soundtrack. Don't rely on the default settings.
Prospecting vs Retargeting
- Retargeting: "Show products they viewed." (High ROAS).
- Prospecting: "Show products broadly." (TikTok finds people tailored to each product). Strategy: Start with Retargeting. Once you have 1,000 Catalog Sales, test Broad VSA.
Summary
VSA is the only way to scale E-Com validation without a content studio. Set it up once. Let it run forever.
