With its broad audience and powerful targeting system, Facebook can be an effective way to reach potential customers. One of the best techniques to get the most out of your advertising campaign is retargeting. In this blog post, we'll look at how to use remarketing effectively in Facebook ads.
What is retargeting?
Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is an advertising technique in which ads are delivered to people who have already visited your website or come into contact with your brand. The aim of retargeting is to lead these people back to your website so that they subsequently convert.
How does retargeting work on Facebook?
Retargeting on Facebook works in a similar way to retargeting on other websites. Cookies are also used here to track the surfing behavior of users. So when a user visits a website on which a Facebook pixel is installed, the pixel is activated and the user receives a cookie.
The company can then place targeted advertising for this user on Facebook. It is important to note that the user must give their consent to receive advertising and that they have the option to withdraw this consent at any time.
The meta pixel is a code that you place on your website to track the behavior of website visitors. It collects data about which pages have been visited and what actions have been taken. This data is securely transmitted to Facebook via the server so that you can display ads based on the behavior of your visitors.
Whether the people came to your website through your ads, organically or through Google Ads is irrelevant. In the next step, you can place Facebook ads that are specifically targeted at these people based on the data collected by the pixel.
The data goes back up to 180 days. You need to create custom audiences to be able to serve ads specifically to these people. For example, your custom audience can include all website visitors from the last 180 days or all people who have added something to their shopping cart in the last 90 days. Depending on which custom audience you create or select in the target group settings, you have to create specific ads that are then delivered to your target group.
Why is retargeting on Facebook important?
Retargeting on Facebook is important as it can help you achieve more conversions and reduce your marketing costs. By delivering ads to people who have already shown interest in your brand, you increase the likelihood that they will return and convert.
At the same time, you can reduce your marketing costs as the ads are delivered to people who have already shown interest in your brand and are therefore more likely to convert. This is particularly important for more expensive products, where the purchase decision takes more time.
Tips for a successful retargeting campaign on Facebook
To ensure that your retargeting campaign on Facebook is successful, here are a few more tips that you should consider:
1. use varied and creative ads
Your retargeting ads should be eye-catching and creative to attract the attention of your target group. Use appealing images and text that emphasize the benefits of your product or service.
In addition, the ads and ad copies should differ from the original designs from the previous stage. If the ads in remarketing are the same, you are definitely doing something wrong, as viewers will be annoyed by the same ads all the time.
2. set your custom audiences
A successful retargeting campaign depends on the segmentation of your target groups. You should segment your target groups based on the behavior they have shown on your website.
One option is to create custom audiences based on certain actions collected by the pixel. For example, you can create a custom audience that contains all website visitors who have abandoned your checkout in the last 30 days.
This way, you can create ads specifically targeted to this audience to bring them back to your website and increase their purchase intent.
3. e-commerce: Dynamic ads
If you run an e-commerce business, you can use catalog ads to optimize your retargeting campaign. Catalog ads display products from your catalog that are tailored to the behavior of the target group on your website. For example, if someone has added a product to their shopping cart, you can run a catalog ad that shows this and similar products to bring them back and motivate them to buy. You can also subdivide the catalog ads into specific product ranges.
4. test your ads regularly
It's important that you test your ads regularly to make sure they are achieving the desired results. For example, you can test different ad images or ad copies to see which work best.
If you test your ads regularly, you can optimize your retargeting campaign and achieve better results. You should also regularly replace the ads in your tests so that your viewers are not annoyed by them.
Conclusion on retargeting campaigns
To get the most out of retargeting in Facebook ads, you should make sure that you run varied and creative ads. To get more people to convert, you should define custom audiences for which you run specific ads. This will ensure that everyone is picked up where they are.
Another good remarketing tool is catalog ads, which also show people similar articles to the articles that were viewed on the website. Last but not least, you should regularly test and replace your ads and ad copies.
