How to Use Ads

Getting your initial orders fast is key to growing a new product. That's why we're introducing Promote My New Products, a smarter upgrade of the New Product Boost (NPB) 2.0, to help new listings gain traffic, win early sales, and accelerate growth in two simple stages.

What is "Promote My New Products"?

Promote My New Products is a new ad feature designed exclusively for items listed within the first 30 days of creation. It follows a two‑stage growth journey:

Stage 1: Sales Breakthrough

Get your initial orders quickly with boosted traffic support.

Stage 2: Sales Acceleration

After reaching your initial order targets, scale and optimize toward your ROAS goals either via GMV Max Auto Bidding or GMV Max Custom ROAS bidding methods.

By separating the growth into two phases, the system ensures your new products receive the right support at the right time to maximize sales potential.

Why should I create New Product Ads under "Promote My New Products" instead of "Promote My Products"?

Previously, NPB 2.0 new product ads boosting was only available on GMV Max Auto Bidding under "Promote My New Products".

With the new Promote My New Products entry point, you not only enjoy existing benefits of GMV Max but receive additional support through:

1. Stronger traffic boost for new items. The system recognizes and prioritizes your newly listed products.
2. Stage‑based growth support. Stage 1 helps you get your first orders faster, while Stage 2 continues boosting and adds optimization toward ROAS goals.
3. Improved visibility & tracking. Easily track if your product ad is in Stage 1 or Stage 2 via your Ad List or Ad Detail pages.

⚠️ You can still create new product ads under Promote My Products, but boosting will not be as strong. We recommend always using Promote My New Products for items within their first 30 days.

What if my product is over 30 days old?

Rapid Boost helps you gain more traffic by allowing the system to explore up to 30% below your target ROAS for expanded reach.
