Ad angles by product category
Most AI ad tools hand you a blank canvas and leave the hard part to you — figuring out what the ad should actually say. But the answer depends on what you sell: supplements need expert credibility, running shoes need to be seen on someone's feet.
NEXT U has that thinking built in. 21 product categories, each pre-loaded with three core marketing concepts, two experimental angles, and matching visual directions. Pick your category and the guided flow runs that playbook — from ad copy and product images to video and music.
Online marketplaces organize products into category trees to help buyers browse. That same structure also predicts which ad approach resonates with each type of buyer. These aren't hypothetical — they're the actual defaults built into NEXT U:

Upload one product photo and pick your category.
NEXT U loads that category's marketing concepts and visual directions.
Answer a few guided questions — NEXT U generates ad copy, product images, video, and background music, then assembles everything into publish-ready image ads and video ads.
Pay for what you use. 1 credit = US$0.01, no subscription. You're only charged when a generation succeeds — failures are refunded automatically. Months you don't run ads cost nothing.
Pick the closest one. The category sets the default marketing concepts and visual directions — it isn't a restriction. You can swap either during the guided flow.
They're settings shipped inside NEXT U, mapped to how buyers in each product type actually decide: three core concepts, two experimental angles, and matching visual directions per category. What you see here is the same set the product uses.
Yes. Core concepts are defaults and the experimental angles are there for A/B testing — both can be changed in the flow.
Yes. Image ads can be downloaded directly. Video ads are exported as vertical and horizontal MP4s with copy, background music, and subtitles — just download and post.
