How to Use Ads

Introducing Promote My New Products

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

1. 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:

1. Stage 1: Sales Breakthrough – Get your initial orders quickly with boosted traffic support.
2. Stage 2: Sales Acceleration – After reaching your initial order targets, scale and optimise towards 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 maximise sales potential.

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

Previously, NPB2.0 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:

1. Stronger traffic boost for new items – the system recognises and prioritises your newly listed products.
2. Stage‑based growth support – Stage 1 helps you get first orders faster, while Stage 2 continues boosting and adds optimisation towards 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.

3. "Promote My New Products" boosting and eligibility criteria

Here's a simple breakdown of how traffic boosting works under Promote My New Products:

🔎 Note: Order requirements to enter Stage 2 may differ by category:

1. Home & Living, Beauty, Fashion: At least 3 orders.
2. Other categories: At least 1 order.

FAQ:

1. How do my New Product Ad move to Stage 2?

Once your new product gets its first order(s), it will automatically progress to Stage 2. Order requirements to enter Stage 2 may differ by category:

1. Home & Living, Beauty, Fashion: At least 3 orders.
2. Other categories: At least 1 order.

2. What if my product is over 30 days old?

Products must be within the first 30 days of listing to qualify for Promote My New Products and enjoy exclusive traffic boosting.

If your product is older than 30 days, you can still advertise it under Promote My Products with GMV Max.

3. Can I further boost the traffic of my New Product ad?

Yes. Once your campaign reaches Stage 2 and you select GMV Max Custom ROAS as your bidding method, you can activate rapid boost.

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

4. Will my New Product Ad continue to receive boosting after exceeding 30 days?

If your campaign is already in Stage 2, it will remain there even after your item is listed for more than 30 days. However, traffic support will be based on your ROAS targets set, as the item transitions into maturity.
