How to Create Multiple Ads with Creative Variations using Dynamic Image Templates and Bulk Import

Updated 

When you use an Image Template in a Dynamic Product Ad, the template is linked to a product feed or catalog, and the content of the template is dynamically updated for each Ad. For regular Ads, however, you need to manually update the images for each ad creative, which becomes a tedious process. For example, in sports betting industries, brands need to manually update the ads that have Betting Odds shown in them as it keeps updating frequently.

In Sprinklr, you can use Dynamic Image Templates to update regular static (non-dynamic) ads via Bulk Import and generate new images for each ad creative. On leveraging Image Templates, you can address multiple use cases such as adjusting the text, price, or logo in your image without having to manually edit the creative.

Note
You can leverage this capability across all channels for which publishing is supported in Sprinklr.
