Pludor Ads is a self-serve ad network inside Pludor: build a campaign (objective, budget, schedule), an ad set (placement, country/city/interest targeting, CPM or CPC bid) and a creative (headline, body, image, call-to-action), then pause, resume or boost it from pludor.com/ads and read spend and performance in reports.
Big ad platforms are expensive for a small seller, and the audience is not necessarily ready to buy from a small independent store.
5 steps, in this order. Each one is explained in the step-by-step guide.
It's a self-serve ad network inside Pludor. You create a campaign with an objective, budget and schedule, then an ad set where you pick placements, targeting and a CPM or CPC bid, then the creative itself. You can pause, resume or boost campaigns from pludor.com/ads and see spend and performance in reports.
There's no subscription - you set a daily or total budget for each campaign. Placements have minimum bids from $1.50 to $4.00 CPM, and CPC floors are one tenth of the CPM floor. Bids below a placement's floor are automatically raised to the floor.
Go to pludor.com/ads and choose New Campaign. Set your objective, budget and schedule, then pick placements, countries, cities, interests and a CPM or CPC bid. Write your headline, body, image and call-to-action, preview it, and launch - you can pause, resume or boost it later.
Ads run only inside Pludor: the home feed, Signals, marketplace, Wayfare, Flika, messages, Academy and shop placements. They don't appear on external networks like Google or Meta. That means you're reaching people already shopping, watching or learning on Pludor.
Yes, via product feeds rather than Pludor Ads. Pludor gives you a feed URL in Google Shopping format (pludor.com/feeds/products.xml?tenant=your-store-slug) that you submit to Google Merchant Center, Meta Commerce Manager or TikTok Catalog Manager with a daily scheduled fetch. Those catalog campaigns are then run and billed inside those platforms.
Big platforms are expensive for small sellers and their general audience isn't necessarily ready to buy from an independent store. Pludor ads reach people already shopping on Pludor, with low placement minimums starting at $1.50 CPM and no subscription. If you also want external reach, you can submit your Pludor product feed to Google, Meta or TikTok catalogs.
Yes, you need a Pludor store, and it's free to create at pludor.com/setup with no card needed. Once your store exists, Ads Manager is available at pludor.com/ads. New stores also get 500 free credits for Pludor's tools and AI.
Pludor's AI Studio can generate the image for your ad. Open AI Studio from your store dashboard, upload a product photo or describe what you want, and refine the result in plain language (like 'brighter background'). You can also try the free AI Ad Analyzer to score your ad's hook, offer and call-to-action before you pay to run it.
Ads Manager includes reports showing impressions, clicks and spend for each campaign. For a fuller picture, open Analytics & Traffic in your Pludor dashboard to see which links, social posts or ads brought visits and sales, and compare date ranges. You can then pause, resume or boost campaigns based on what you see.
Ads run inside Pludor only - they don't appear on external networks. Bids below a placement's floor get raised to that floor, so very low bids aren't possible. Targeting is limited to country, city and interest within Pludor's audience of shoppers, video viewers and learners.
