AI YouTube Ads for E-commerce

Skippable in-stream ads (15-30 seconds) targeting in-market audiences consistently drive the highest conversion volume for e-commerce on YouTube. Pair these with 6-second bumper ads for retargeting to reinforce the purchase decision. Multi-format campaigns see 15-20% lower cost-per-purchase than single-format setups.

Yes. YouTube Shorts ads deliver 30-50% lower CPMs than standard in-stream placements and reach younger demographics. For e-commerce, create 15-30 second vertical product demos with fast pacing and large text overlays. The key is making Shorts ads feel native to the short-form feed — think TikTok energy in YouTube Shorts format.

Three tactics: (1) Improve your 0-5 second hook to increase view-through rate, which lowers cost in the auction. (2) Test multiple creative variations — different hooks, CTAs, and product angles. (3) Layer bumper ads with in-stream for full-funnel coverage. AdCreate makes it fast to produce the 5+ variations needed for meaningful optimization.
