Burrow ad teardown: Warehouse sale up to 70% off
A sale static promising up to 70% off lands on the Warehouse grid, where the deepest badge in view reads 50% and a modal covers the hero.
“WAREHOUSE SALE UP TO 70% OFF”
Handoff: Partial
The creative reads WAREHOUSE SALE above UP TO 70% OFF, with a line under it saying shop best sellers before they're gone forever. The destination is genuinely the Warehouse collection and it is genuinely discounted, but every badge in the visible grid reads 40% OFF, with only a scattering at 50% OFF and nothing at 70%. The tan leather sectional from the ad does survive the click, listed as Field Leather 6-Piece Sectional Double Lounger at $2,891 against $4,819. What does not survive is the number that earned the click, and an email and phone capture modal loads over the Warehouse hero on arrival.
The read
A wide living room shot, tan leather sectional under a wall of windows, with the offer stacked into the top third. WAREHOUSE SALE is set small above UP TO 70% OFF set very large, and a thin line under that adds the deadline. The room sells the outcome and the type sells the discount, which is the standard structure for a furniture sale static.
Why it works
- Number first. UP TO 70% OFF is the largest element in the frame, so the offer survives a thumb scroll at feed size even if nothing else is read.
- Deadline without a date. Before they're gone forever converts a discount into urgency while committing to no end date at all.
- Room, not product. Framing the whole room rather than the sofa sells the finished space, which is what carries a purchase at this price.
Objective fit
A discount static pointed at the clearance grid fits a purchase objective cleanly. The problem is that the page's own badges undercut the number the ad used to earn the click.

Where it breaks
If a creative leads on a ceiling number, at least one product on the first screen has to reach it. Here a capture modal loads over the hero and the deepest discount in view is 50%.
