This week on (on November 16, 2021), Facebook Ads launched an exciting new Call-outs feature in some accounts – hopefully to roll out to all soon – in the ad level that will now highlight certain things, such as “free shipping” to people viewing your ads. Facebook states state that they will “automatically adjust the phrasing of call-outs in ways likely to get better results for your ads.”

While this feature is new and limited, it can especially be useful to ecommerce advertisers to highlight some value propositions that may be helpful in increasing sales this holiday shopping season. Call-outs will only display on Facebook News Feed and only on mobile devices.
