Here’s why you want to use retargeting In simple terms.
If 100 people went to your landing page, and only 2 converted. Retargeting can give you unlimited opportunities to convert the 98 people that did not. Let’s face it not everyone is ready on that first visit to take you up on your offers. Remember the rule of 7? The avg person needs to see a message 7 times before they make a decision.
Retargeting done right keeps your business is top of mind, for when they’re ready to make a decision.
The anatomy retargeting.
- First you need a pixel, you get that from the ad platform you’re using, like facebook or adwords and you install it on your landing page or website,
- Your pixel allows you to track every visitor.
- Next you build audiences In your ad platform based on the pages they visited. .
- Next you need ad images in the right size for the ad platform you’re retargeting on. Here are examples of all the different sizes. There are 23 that cover every ad space in the world.
About ad sizes
Facebook has 4 ad sizes, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, each have 1. The other 15 sizes, are used across the the real time bidding network which covers every other website in the world besides those top 5 social media platforms.
- Next you need campaigns to show your ads based upon combinations of the 2 different audiences.
Regarding retargeting campaigns
Remember the Pilates studio example from the landing pages episode? They had 100 visitors to the landing page, 2 converted and 98 did not. One campaign will target like this. Display this ad to people that hit the landing page but DID NOT hit the thank you page. That ad would be a second chance ad.
Another campaign could target like this: show this ad to those who hit the landing page AND the thank you page. That ad would offer something that goes along with what they already bought, an upsell of some sort.
Doing retargeting correctly means  showing the right ads to the right person at the right time. If you show ads to people for something they already bought can have a negative effect so, so you want to avoid doing that.
