Why Do High-SKU Retailers Struggle with Static CTV Ads?
High-SKU retailers struggle with static CTV ads because massive catalogs like fashion or electronics with thousands of products lead to irrelevant messaging, high customer acquisition costs, and wasted spend on non-converting impressions. Static creatives ignore viewer context, resulting in low video completion rates below 50% and poor attribution across cross-device journeys. Starti’s DCO addresses this with AI-driven real-time swaps for dynamic personalization.
