Be clear
Make sure the 
main purpose and message of your ad are 
not lost in your determination to be creative and get views. Without a clear message, viewers will be 
confused about what you're offering and will just 
swipe up!

Tell a story
When people are on their social platforms, they 
do not want products pushed down their throats. So, a 
great way to sell and promote your product or service is to
 make use of storytelling. Creating an 
engaging story is a guaranteed way to get you 
more clicks!
