Snapchat has launched Dynamic Travel Ads to provide new opportunities to travel brands to reach out to their audience.
With travel back on the cards in many regions, Snapchat’s looking to help travel advertisers reach its captive audience with new Dynamic Travel Ads.

As it sounds, Snap’s Dynamic Travel Ads match offers from a business’ product catalog in order to serve travel destinations relevant to each user, based on places they’ve visited and products they’ve previously viewed.
As explained by Snap:
“Dynamically retarget users who have been to your site or app before with hotel properties, destinations or flight routes that are most interesting to them.”
The ads utilize Snap’s pixel tracking to match user behaviors, along with Snapchat’s internal data and activity tracking.
And with visitor data on 49 million unique places listed in the Snap Map, Snap’s also able to offer advanced, locally-relevant campaign delivery to serve hotels, airlines, destinations, and tours based on popularity.
An updated ad creation process also includes improved catalog setup for travel brands, with additional product feed attributes that are specific to travel businesses. That provides more customization options, enabling advanced targeting opportunities to ensure the most relevant ads are displayed to each user.
In beta testing, which has been underway over the past six months, Snap says that Dynamic Travel Ads have delivered improved results for Booking.com and Etihad Airways.

“Etihad was able to reduce their cost per flight search by 4x with Dynamic Travel Ads. Additionally, they saw a 307% increase in ROAS and a 76% decrease in cost per purchases, compared to their non-dynamic campaigns.”
In addition to this, Snap says that it’s also adding a new ‘Location Aware’ catalogs option for all of its Dynamic Ad options.
“For many businesses, price, availability, or messaging may differ greatly by region. Our “location-aware” catalog support allows advertisers to include a latitude/longitude in their catalogs, so whether they are a Retailer, Auto Dealership, Hotel Chain, or Food Delivery service, their message or offer will be tailored to wherever their customer is in the world.”
Some of this data is subject to Apple’s ATT tracking prompts, which Snap recently noted have had an impact on its results.
