Fir: which video angle sells the Christmas tree scent

Too early to callAd creativeStarted 17 Oct
£265 spent across 3 versions in 2 days. Too early to call; verdict due around 27 Oct.
What we think

Same question as the still-image test, asked in video. Three angles: Ailis telling the founder story, a scent-led product video, and a Starter Pack demo that opens with "Warning: smells like a real Christmas tree".

What is different between the versions

The video only. Copy, link, audience, placements and budget are identical, with £50 a day per version.

When we call it

£500 spent on each version, or 10 days, whichever comes first. Not before.

What this will tell us

Whether a person on camera, the product alone, or a hook that plays on the scent gets the cheapest new customer for the Christmas range.

Spend, clicks and purchases are as reported by Meta for the ads in each test, from the test's start date to today, which is partial. Where versions share an ad set, Meta decides how much each one spends, so compare cost per purchase and purchases per click rather than totals. A test is only called once its rule is met; stopping early on a good week is how false winners get made.
