What Black Friday mobile ad formats work?

As an e-commerce business preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to determine which mobile ad formats will actually drive conversions. With increasing mobile shopping trends, I need a strategic approach to create ads that capture attention, communicate value quickly, and motivate potential customers to click through and purchase. My goal is to maximize return on ad spend while creating engaging, scroll-stopping content that stands out in a crowded digital marketplace during the most competitive shopping season.
