Where it sits
Advertisers here ship more than most: an average of 15,676 ads each, against a cross-category median of 1,718. This is a category that treats creative as volume.
It still runs on static. Only 8% of its creatives are video against 47% across every advertiser analysed, which makes it one of the cheaper categories to test at volume.
Its creative splits 72% value-led to 20% discount-led.
17% of its ads run in an Indian language, led by Telugu (3,313), Hindi (782).
What it offers
Verbatim deal copy, grouped into the shapes an offer actually takes. Percent off is the most-run, on 2,792 ads from 3 advertisers.
Based on the 52% of this category's ads that carried a readable offer.
What it sells
The ask
84% of the category's ads end on “Shop now”. Only platform buttons are counted: a value run by a single advertiser is that brand's ad copy in the button field, not a button.
What it runs in
3 languages across the category, with 17% of its ads in an Indian language.
What survives
How long a creative stays in market, first sighting to last. There is no spend in the source, so longevity is the only conviction signal a public library carries: an ad a brand keeps running is one it has decided to keep paying for.
Based on the 44,744 creatives in this category carrying both a first and last sighting.

Other categories
Every figure is a count from the analysed creatives, not an estimate. There is no spend, impression or performance data in the source and none is inferred. Hook type, offer, emotional appeal and creative category are model-assigned classifications rather than platform-reported fields, and each chart above states the share of the category's ads that carried the field it draws. Category totals are the sum of the 3 advertisers with a page in this library, not of every advertiser in the category.
