The Auction Cost of Inaction

Why Untested Creatives Suffer Auction Penalties

Ecommerce 3-Second Hook Rate
25.4%

Median share of impressions that watch past 3 seconds on TikTok and Meta Reels: about three in four shoppers scroll on first.

Shoppers Still Watching at 15s
5.6%

The median ecommerce hold rate. A price, offer or discount code shown late reaches only a small slice of the people you paid to reach.

Hook Rate Range Across DTC Categories
22.9% – 28.1%

From Apparel & Accessories to Beauty & Wellness: the bar your opening has to clear depends on what you sell.

Pre-Flight Process

How AdFlame Validates Your Video Ads in 3 Steps

01

Upload Product Cuts & UGC

Drop in product demos, unboxings, before-and-after clips, creator UGC or Spark Ad cuts (MP4 or MOV, up to 60 seconds) and choose your category.

02

Simulate Your Shoppers

Synthetic buyers, from bargain hunters and trend followers to feature analysts, watch second by second and react to price, proof and offer timing.

03

Fix, Re-Test, Then Launch

Rewrite the opening, move the offer earlier or lift captions out from under the buy button, then re-run before the cut reaches Advantage+ or TikTok.

Core Capabilities

Engineered for Performance Media Teams & Creative Strategists

Offer & Price Timing

Shows the second each shopper group leaves, so you can tell whether the price, discount code or free-shipping message lands before they scroll.

Sound-Off & Safe-Zone Readability

Checks that captions, promo codes and product names read with the sound off and stay clear of TikTok, Reels and Shorts buttons.

Buyer Objections in Their Own Words

Every test returns written reactions from shoppers who converted, engaged or dropped off, so you see the objection behind each drop.

Enterprise Confidentiality & Zero Data RetentionYour pre-release video cuts, concepts, and campaign scripts are processed within isolated sandbox environments. AdFlame never publishes, exposes, or uses your proprietary assets to train external public models.
