Remarketingcampagne | Ternair

Attracting new customers is a crucial part of any strategy. However, what happens to the potential customers who visit your Web site, but don't make an immediate purchase? This group of potential customers has already shown interest in your product or service, and it would be a shame to forget about them. This is where remarketing campaigns come into play. In this article, we'll dive deeper into what remarketing is, why it's essential to a successful marketing strategy, and how you can create an effective remarketing campaign using tools like Ternair.

What is a Remarketing Campaign?

Remarketing, also known as retargeting, is a strategy where you show ads to people who have visited your website or app before, but haven't taken action yet. The goal of remarketing is to remind these potential customers about your brand and encourage them to return and still make a purchase.Remarketing campaigns allow you to reach these potential customers again through different channels such as Google Ads, social media or email.Imagine someone visits your website and seems interested in a product, but leaves the website without buying anything. With remarketing, you can later re-engage this visitor with ads that specifically target the product they viewed earlier. This increases the chances that they will return to your site and eventually convert.Note: Sending commercial emails requires an opt-in. This gives a customer permission to receive emails. You can ask customers for permission when creating an account, filling out a form or making a first order.

"Remarketing can increase conversion rates's by as much as 150% by showing repeated brand messages to an already interested audience."

Why are Remarketing Campaign Important?

The value of remarketing lies in the fact that you are targeting an audience that has already shown some level of interest in your offer. Unlike cold targeting, where you are trying to attract new customers who may have never heard of your brand, with remarketing you are engaging with people who are already one step further in the buying cycle. This makes conversion much more likely.Remarketing campaigns are essential because they capitalize on the repetition of brand messages, which is proven effective in the marketing domain. Research shows that consumers often require multiple touch points before making a purchase. Remarketing ensures that your brand stays top-of-mind with your target audience and gives them that extra push to make the decision.Some benefits of remarketing campaigns include:

  1. Increased conversion rates's:By re-engaging potential customers, you increase the likelihood that they will eventually make a purchase.

  2. Targeted ads: You can create highly targeted ads that respond to user behavior, resulting in more relevant and attractive ads.

  3. Cost savings: Remarketing campaigns target people who have already shown interest, which increases the likelihood of success and means you waste less money reaching a cold audience.

  4. Strengthening Brand Awareness: Even if a user does not make an immediate purchase, remarketing helps strengthen brand awareness and build trust.

"Remarketing campaigns often have a lower CPA, on average 50% cheaper than traditional display ads, because they target a warmer audience."

How to Set Up a Remarketing Campaign:

Setting up a remarketing campaign can seem complex at first, but by following the process step by step, you can create a campaign that is effective and focused on achieving your marketing goals. Here are the key steps:

  1. Define your goals:The first thing you need to do is define the goals of your remarketing campaign. Do you want to increase sales, increase newsletter signups, or something else? It is important to set clear and measurable goals in order to assess the success of your campaign.

  2. Identify your target audience: The next step is to determine which visitors you want to target. These could be visitors who viewed a specific product page, added a product to their shopping cart but did not checkout, or even visitors who spent a certain amount of time on your website without taking any action.

  3. Choose your channels:Remarketing can take place on different channels, such as Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, and email. Choose the channels that are most effective for your target audience. For example, if you find that your target audience spends a lot of time on Facebook, that might be the best channel to use for your campaign.

  4. Create remarketing lists: Once you have defined your target audience and channels, create remarketing lists in your advertising platform, such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads. These lists contain the users you want to target. For example, you can create a list of visitors who have viewed your product page in the last 30 days without buying anything.

  5. Develop engaging ads: Create ads specific to the target audience in your remarketing lists. Make sure these ads grab attention and include a strong call-to-action that encourages users to return to your website.

  6. Set up your campaigns: Once you have created your remarketing lists and ads, you can set up your campaigns in your ad platform. Here you can control when, where and how often your ads are displayed to your target audience.

  7. Optimize and measure your results: The work doesn't stop after your campaign goes live. Monitor the performance of your campaigns closely and optimize where necessary. Experiment with different ad copy, images and bidding strategies to see what works best.

Tips for an Effective Remarketing Campaign

To make sure your remarketing campaign is successful, here are some tips to keep in mind:

  1. Segment your target audience carefully: Not all website visitors are created equal. By segmenting your remarketing lists based on behaviors, such as page views's or abandoned shopping carts, you can show more relevant ads.

  2. Limit the frequency of your ads: An important aspect of remarketing is making sure you don't irritate your audience by targeting them too often. Therefore, set a frequency limit to avoid displaying your ads too often to the same person. This helps avoid irritation and ensures a positive brand experience.

  3. Use dynamic remarketing: Dynamic ads automatically adjust content based on user behavior, such as showing specific products the user has viewed. This is a powerful way to create highly targeted and personalized ads.

  4. Personalize your message: A personalized approach can make a big difference in remarketing. For example, use the customer's name (if you have one) or show related products based on their previous browsing habits.

  5. A/B testing and continually improve: As with any campaign, it is important to continually test and improve your remarketing efforts. Try different ad variants, audiences and strategies to see what works best for your brand.

  6. Integrate your remarketing with other campaigns: Make sure your remarketing campaign ties in well with your other marketing efforts. This ensures a consistent brand experience and strengthens your overall strategy.

"On average, 26% of users who click on a remarketing ad return to the website and complete a conversion."
