Compose Facebook Carousel Ads

Updated 

Showcase multiple products to your potential clients and gain more website visits from your ads.

While composing Facebook Campaigns, you can create Carousel Ads (previously called Multi-Product Ads) in Ads Composer. Carousel Ads enable you to showcase up to ten products within a single ad unit on desktop or mobile. Each product highlighted will have its own image, description, and a call-to-action. This gives you more creative flexibility while leveraging an engaging and powerful ad format.

Note:

This feature requires that Social Advertising be enabled in your environment. To learn more about Sprinklr Marketing - Advertising, please work with your Success Manager.
