You get clicks when you have an ad that triggers a response, shows the searcher you have (or promise to have) exactly what they want and need. If your ad just says "yeah, we have that, buy it from us", that's not going to get many clicks.
There are other factors too which you may not be doing correctly. Proper keywords is one. Are you showing on the display network as well as search? You should never mix the two and in fact, maybe that's why: you are showing mostly on display where click rates are much lower typically than search or showing mostly on the partner sites.
Average position also affects your click rate, the lower the ad appears, the lower the CTR. This is just like the organic rankings and why everyone wants to be at the top. Your 1% CTR may be just what to expect if your position is lower on the page. But don't go on CTR, look at your Quality Score. It's a measure of how well you are doing against competitors (on search only), no matter your position. If it's average, you need to write more compelling ads.
And take a closer look at your keywords while you're at it. I've seen too many people with the wrong idea about keywords. Describe exactly what the product is. If you sell controllers for PS4, don't bid on the keyword PS4 or simply game controller, that's not your product. Then write ads that make them want to click and buy (example: nobody will beat you using this PS4 game controller). Better than, yeah we sell that come and buy it.
