In today’s fast-paced digital advertising world, capturing attention on mobile screens is essential. That’s why designing Catalog Ads specifically for full-screen vertical placements like Instagram Stories and Reels can significantly boost performance. Confect’s “Story Catalog Ads” feature streamlines that process with intelligent, time-saving tools that ensure your product ads pop exactly where your audience is looking.
Design for Multiple Formats, Effortlessly
One of the biggest barriers for marketers has been resizing and adapting square (1:1) ads for vertical placements like 9:16. Confect solves this by allowing users to design both square and vertical formats at the same time, ensuring creativity remains consistent across feed, Story, and Reels placements. Instead of starting from zero, you can repurpose existing 1:1 designs into 9:16 versions with a few clicks streamlining the creative process and enabling faster iteration.
Tailored Vertical Ads That Stand Out
With Confect, crafting vertical-specific layouts is intuitive and powerful. You can fully customize the 9:16 format, adding elements like lifestyle imagery, compelling calls to action (“swipe up”), or extra product details that make your Story ads engaging and on-brand. This tailored approach helps make ads look native to the placement enhancing both aesthetics and engagement.
Built for Multi-Platform Reach
Vertical ads aren’t just for Meta platforms. Confect enables seamless publishing of Story-style Catalog Ads across Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat, ensuring they adhere to each platform’s native specs and performance standard. This cross-platform compatibility helps you extend your reach without repeating creative work across tools or formats.
Real Results from Real Brands
Marketers using Confect have seen meaningful performance gains. For instance, Vero Moda reported a 60% increase in sales, while Arena Sports achieved a 34% lift in ROAS all using Confect’s vertical-capable ad tools. These success stories underscore how powerful optimized vertical designs can be for engagement and conversion.
Intelligent Workflows Human-Centric Design
Confect’s intelligent editor not only speeds up ad creation 80% of auto-generated 9:16 layouts are ready to go in the first try but also gives users precise control when needed. Whether you rely on auto-conversion or fine-tune the layout manually, you retain consistency and quality across all versions.
