4. Socioh Offers High-Def PLVs (Product Level Videos)

THE REALITY:
Socioh delivers high-definition PLVs (product level videos) at 30 frames per second, compared to Marpipe’s 4FPS gifs.

Not only that, we offer PLVs at both the product and variant level, so you can show either different angles or different color variations of your product in the same video. See examples of PLVs that Socioh has created for Staud (product level) and Unbound Merino (variation level) below:

Not just that, Socioh has just launched a new generative AI that can produce videos from your still photography.

5. Socioh is a Complete Feed Management System

THE REALITY:
Socioh is a complete feed management system and can easily handle enterprise-level feeds. We have advanced automation and visibility rules, so you can exclude any product (eg out of stock, discounted etc) from your ad without removing them from your product feed. You can also show specific information (eg, sale or ‘selling out’ messaging) only on select products.

6. Socioh has Advanced Testing Capabilities

THE REALITY:
Socioh supports two approaches to testing:

  1. Test multiple design variations against your current BAU catalog without losing learnings
  2. Test up to 20 creatives simultaneously in a new catalog

We will work with your growth team to find the winning design according to your KPIs and internal parameters.

7. Socioh offers Transparent Pricing

THE REALITY:
Socioh does not charge a percentage of ad spend, but we do have a tiered pricing structure based on the brand’s monthly revenue.


The reason for this is that, as brands scale, their design requirements increase substantially in terms of platforms (Meta, Pinterest, Snap, AppLovin), formats (carousel, story, reel, video), and creative variations for testing (more budget allows for parallel testing of more designs).

Since Socioh is a full-service company, this results in an exponential increase in the number of man-hours that we spend, not just at the design stage, but also at the catalog production stage.

Socioh’s founders are in the US and Canada, and our team is spread across the US, Brazil, Colombia, New Zealand, Ireland, and India so you get 24/7 support.
