Coupons also help your CTR if your ads describe some type of discount for a product someone is already searching.
In-the-Moment Products
For those running retail offers, take your cue from trends, end of season or in-season offers. Brands adapt their prices to seasons or trends that their audience dictates. These products could highly affect the click rate and eventually performance of your campaign.
Personalized CTAs
