Try Dynamic Creative for Installs

Now you can optimize your Dynamic Creative (more about the tool here) campaigns for Mobile App Installs in our tool.

Dynamic Creative allows you to create various combinations of images, text pieces and ad titles and test their performance against each other for most personalised impressions.

This is good news for a number of reasons:

• Initially, Dynamic Creative was only available for Link Clicks objective, which was insufficient for marketing goals of most users. Now it can be utilized for one more campaign objective and help resolve many more challenges than before.
• This feature solves the problem of creating and optimising large quantities of creatives, as well as making A/B testing more reliable.
• The self-learning algorithm takes all Facebook metrics into account to minimize your app’s CPI by displaying the most efficient creative combination.

Step 4. The interface you see depends on the chosen advertising objective.

1. Choosing a Facebook Page or Instagram profile. 
   You need to choose a page from the list of available Facebook pages or, if necessary an Instagram account. If you don’t have a Facebook page, you can create one. If you don’t have a connected Instagram account, please click here to read how to attach one to your account.

   The mandatory parameter for any Website Clicks campaign is Website URL. 
4. Ad “Sandbox”

The “sandbox” for creating your ads is where you can build your ads by using the easy drag and drop interface to add your chosen objects. The process of ad creations contains several simple steps:

• Upload your pictures in the left column by using “Drop Files Here” field or by clicking the “Select Files” button.
• If you have already some pictures uploaded, you can choose them from the Library.
• You can copy headlines or texts from Excel, Google Docs or any text file and paste them into the “Headline” and “Texts” fields. Separate phrases will be automatically determined as separate objects and automatically added in the lower “sandbox” respectively.

Step 5. Completion
The final step of creating your ads is the settings check (especially the Budget). If all is correct, then:

1. There will not be any errors like in the image below:

If such errors appear, click the red button and get the hint telling you how to rectify the issue.
