You can achieve all this with Facebook Collaborative ads (CPAS – Collaborative Performance Advertising Solution). They are one of the best ways to make branding a breeze.
From increasing brand awareness to improving sales conversion, it is a new way to advertise on Facebook.
Keep reading to learn what collaborative ads are and how brands are driving sales out of them.
Facebook collaborative ads are a way for the brands to collaborate with the retailers to advertise their products.
It allows brands to run direct sales campaigns through retailers and merchants who sell their products.
Thus, it results in a win-win situation for the brands as well as the retailers.
The retailer divides his product catalog into a segment containing the products of the target brand.
The target brand then uses this segment as its catalog to run collaborative ads which redirect to the retailer’s product page.
Once the customer reaches the retailer’s product page, the purchase journey continues further.
Thus, the brand influences sales and increases its brand value. Whereas the retailer gets an increase in sales and revenue.
In short, a brand creates collaborative ads to advertise its own products sold through a retailer.
Before you set up your collaborative ads, ensure that
You find a participating business in your region that sells your products through the Retail Directory or your Facebook sales team
Create a new ad account that you will only use with Collaborative Ads
Your retail partner shares the catalog segment that he has created for your brand
Acknowledge and accept the terms and conditions shared by Facebook
Also, while creating collaborative ads, do not forget that: All links should point to your retail partner’s website, and not yours!

Let us now overlook a case study to understand how Facebook collaborative ads scale your business with the help of retailers.
The world-famous beauty company L’Oréal faced a drop in sales in the Singapore region during the pandemic.
In search of a creative way to re-engage their audience and boost sales, they opted for Facebook collaborative ads with Sephora ( a popular beauty products retailer).
They ran a campaign using Collaborative Ads to drive online sales in Singapore via Sephora during its May Sales Day event.
Using Collaborative Ads, L’Oréal automatically displayed the products from the catalogs of three L’Oréal brands sold via Sephora on Facebook.
The video ads were in the collection ad format and showed the products that people were most likely interested in, based on past browsing behavior. The products were linked to Sephora’s online store.
So, when you clicked on the ‘Shop Now’ button, it would take you to Sephora’s website and the purchase continued from there.
L’Oréal and Sephora’s Collaborative Ads campaign broadly targeted women in Singapore (with an interest in cosmetics) and used Facebook and Instagram platforms.
This collaborative ad resulted in
6.5X return on ad spend, and
2X Increase in average sales versus previous sales period
That’s a good number indeed!
