Level 2+ Sellers in selected regions can pay to promote their listings on StockX with Sponsored Asks.

A Sponsored Ask on StockX is a listing promoted by the Seller across the StockX platform. These ads will only appear on the StockX website and app. With StockX Sponsored Asks, Sellers can power sales by strategically reaching the engaged and valuable StockX audience.

StockX Sponsored Asks can help you move inventory faster by advertising your listings to millions of current-culture shoppers on StockX around the world. Get started in just a few clicks, manage your Ads and track your progress in StockX Pro. Plus, you can get started for as little as $5 a day.

Currently, there are several dedicated places for Sponsored Asks on StockX. The ads appear to StockX users across the StockX iOS & Android apps as well as on the website. Placements include, but are not limited to:

Return on Ad Spend or ROAS is total sales divided by ad spend. Your ROAS is entirely dependent on the price point of your products and how well they convert. The higher the item value and conversion are, the higher the ROAS.

For example, if sales attributed to your Sponsored Asks are worth $100 (after fees and taxes) and you spent $50 on advertising, your ROAS would be 100 ÷ 50 x 100% = 200%. So for every $1 you spent on advertising, you earned $2 back. Monitor your average ROAS and make adjustments as needed.

Eligible Sellers can get started with Sponsored Asks by going to the StockX Pro Selling tab and selecting "Advertising". From there, select "Get Started" and you will be prompted to fill in more details about your targets, what products you’d like to advertise and your budget. You can always edit this in the future.

You will be prompted to agree to StockX’s Advertising Policies and can then select "Start Advertising" to complete the setup. From there, you will be taken to your Advertising dashboard, which displays your Sponsored Ask inventory. Max Budget and other data.

To advertise new items, go to your StockX Pro listings and select the items from your inventory that you want to advertise. Then apply the "Start Advertising" bulk action. Ads can be run on both Standard and Flex listings. You will see a yellow Ads tag next to your listings with Sponsored Asks.

In the Advertising dashboard, select "Edit" in the Max Budget section. From there, you can adjust the slider to select the maximum amount you’d like to spend each day. Note that this does not guarantee that you will always spend your max budget, but rather that you will not spend more than your selected max budget.

 

Sponsored Asks use a Cost-per-Click (CPC) pricing model, meaning Sellers are only charged when an ad is clicked. There is a $5 minimum daily budget, but that amount doesn’t have to be spent in one day. We recommend that Sellers set a budget which is sufficient to avoid running out of the allotted budget too early.

Sellers using Sponsored Asks pay a monthly fee and this is charged to the credit card on file on the 15th of the month after the ad spend occurred.

You will be charged monthly for ad spend using the credit card associated with your StockX account.

There is a filter automatically in place to omit any advertised items that aren’t the lowest Ask. If you are advertising the "Lowest Flex Ask" it will be eligible for advertising.
