Photo Ads: These are single image ads that appear in a user’s Instagram feed. They are often used to showcase products, services, or branded content. Photo ads include a caption and a “call to action” (CTA) button, like “Shop Now,” “Learn More,” or “Sign Up,” driving users to take a specific action.
Video Ads: These are short videos that also appear in users’ feeds, offering more dynamic ways to engage with the audience. Videos can be up to 60 seconds long and typically include a CTA button, encouraging users to interact with the content.
Carousel Ads: These ads allow users to swipe through multiple images or videos in a single post. They are ideal for showcasing a collection of products, telling a story across several slides, or providing a multi-step tutorial. Each image or video can have its own link, driving traffic to different landing pages.
Stories Ads: These are full-screen vertical ads that appear between users’ Instagram Stories, lasting for up to 15 seconds. Stories ads can include photos, videos, text, stickers, and interactive elements like polls or questions. They are designed to blend seamlessly into the user’s story-watching experience, making them highly engaging.
