Ad formats

Snapchat 9:16, TikTok 9:16 and Instagram Reels are the placements that move product for Salla and Zid stores here. The ad tests on each model page are rendered in 9:16 and scored for exactly this use. UGC tests cover the unboxed, handheld look that performs on TikTok. If you are cutting a brand film or a YouTube pre-roll, the 16:9 cinematic tests on the model pages show how each model handles wider compositions and slower camera work.

Paying from Saudi Arabia
