Can you use Facebook's dynamic creative to see results like these?

Yes and no. Facebook’s dynamic creative allows you to test different ad components and the algorithm tells you which combination was best received by users.

Check out: Facebook’s dynamic creative optimization case studies.

But there are certain limitations to Facebook’s DCO.

For one, it is nearly impossible to do this at scale if you have hundreds or thousands of products. Having your creative team come up with the copy and creative for all those products will take you days if not months.

And the secret to success on Facebook is creative cycling which means asking your creative team to churn out another set of creatives. Plus you may not want to update the ad elements manually when say an item is out of stock or you announce a new discount.

The solution is to use a creative automation platform that’s a Meta Business Partner like Hunch.

Hunch gives you the ability to personalize ads using data in real-time. All you have to do is connect your product feed and use Hunch’s templates to automatically launch hundreds of on-brand dynamic ads. And you can use Hunch campaign automated rules to optimize creatives for your key KPIs helping you see the lift in campaign performance you want.
