What works for candles and gifts ads

• Scent in words. Nobody can smell a video, so the notes on your label, like fig and cedar, need to be on screen early.
• The lit moment: the flame, the glow, the room at night, from your photos or a short clip.
• The occasion and the deadline: holiday order-by dates, birthdays, a host gift for this weekend.
• Packaging, because the person paying often isn't the one who opens it.

Opening lines written for made-up products, to show the shape. Yours are written from your own product page.

• “Fig, cedar and a little woodsmoke”
• “Order by the 18th for holiday delivery”
• “3 scents for long fall evenings”
• “The gift box, opened”

Questions

How do you show a scent in a video?

With words and setting: the scent notes on screen in the first seconds, and scenes that match the mood, like a dim, cozy room for a woodsy candle. The burned-in captions carry the notes even with the sound off.

Should I run an offer ad for the holidays?

Yes, if you have a real deal and a clear order-by date. Make it a few weeks ahead, and make a version without the date so you have something to run once it passes.

Can I make ads for gift sets and bundles?

Yes, one ad per product page. If the bundle has its own page, the ad uses that page's photos and price.
