How to join an Ad Bucket group campaign
Running social media ads by yourself in Nigeria can be a fast way to burn your business capital. Between expensive dollar rates and ads that bring empty "likes" instead of sales, individual marketing is tough for small brands.
That is why we built Ad Buckets.
What is an Ad Bucket all about?
Instead of forcing every business owner to pay massive amounts for separate ads, an Ad Bucket lets vendors pool a small amount of money together to run a high-energy group campaign.
Our backend marketing team designs premium graphics and launches highly targeted ads on social media for a specific niche group (like Friday Campus Thrift, Laptops & Tech, or Perfume Vendors). When buyers click the ad, they see a dedicated visual page displaying only the products from the vendors who joined that closed bucket pool. There are zero outside distractions, and clicking an item drops the buyer straight into your WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled purchase message. You get the reach of a major brand name for a tiny micro-payment slot!
Step-by-Step: How to Join an Active Campaign
Dropping your product into a trending category bucket takes less than two minutes from your control desk:
Step 1: Open the Ad Buckets Page
Log into your business dashboard at zealock.com/dashboard and click on Run Ads in the sidebar navigation menu.
Step 2: Browse Open Campaign Pools
You will see a list of active, team-created marketing buckets designed around current campus search patterns or cultural trends. Each campaign shows:
The Category Niche: (e.g., Campus Footwear Plugs, Hostel Small Chops Drop).
Target Platforms: Where our team will blast the collective ads (like TikTok, Instagram, or WhatsApp Status networks).
Slot Price: Starting from just ₦1,000 per item slot.
Step 3: Select Your Suitable Product
Find a bucket that perfectly matches what you are selling. Click Join Bucket, and our system will prompt you to pick an item from your current active listing directory to fill that slot. (Note: To prevent dilution and give every vendor a fair share of buyers, sellers are strictly capped at a maximum of 3 slots per bucket).
Step 4: Secure Your Slot Instantly
Pay the one-time slot micro-transaction fee securely in Naira. The second your payment hits completed status, your product row is locked safely inside the campaign group loop.
What Happens After You Join?
Manual Design & Asset Prep: Our graphics and copy teams immediately bundle the filled bucket slots into premium visual promotions and media kits.
Marketers Take the Field: The completed bucket links are handed over to our active network of student affiliates and campus promoters.
Pure CPL Traffic Delivery: Marketers race to promote your bucket because they are paid strictly via our fraud-free Cost-Per-Lead (CPL) model. They only earn money when a real human buyer reviews the bucket page and takes action by clicking your "Contact Seller" button.
WhatsApp Boom: Sit back, keep your notifications on, and watch your chat history fill up with pre-written transaction receipts popping straight onto your phone screen via Zealock!
