What is remarketing and what are its advantages?

Remarketing has become one of the favorite tools used by digital marketing professionals to optimize the return on investment (ROI) of their advertising campaigns.

This advertising technique, which has become very popular in recent years due to its high effectiveness rate—especially when used on Facebook’s advertising platform—differs from a traditional digital advertising strategy or campaign because it allows us to interact, with another advertising element, with an audience that has previously seen or interacted with one of our ads.

This opens many possibilities for a SEO agency, since it allows us to further segment our original target audience and focus on people who are much more likely to be interested because they have already shown interest before. We can even build complete conversion funnels using remarketing advertising tools alone.

In the Dominican Republic, it has become one of the favorite tools for both large corporations and small advertisers because of the strong results it delivers after running a campaign and designing the website.

It is important to keep in mind that this type of advertising action requires specific notices in the privacy policy of our website if we use it as part of a remarketing strategy, since it involves detailed tracking of user actions.

How does Remarketing work?

The logic and functioning of remarketing are simple. It is based on giving advertisers the ability to show ads again to people who have previously interacted with another advertising creative we created.

To simplify the explanation with an example: if we launch a Facebook advertising campaign showing an image of our product or service with some text and a link to a website where extended information is available, users will click and access that information. Once there, they may or may not buy depending on their interest, and most will leave without purchasing.

This is where remarketing and social media management Santo Domingo come into play. We can create a new advertising campaign, but this time we only show the ad to people who clicked on the previous ad and visited our website. Instead of showing them the same ad again, we can offer them a discount or special benefit to encourage them to click again and revisit the product or service they were previously interested in. This significantly increases the chances of conversion and ensures that our advertising budget is used on a more relevant audience.

Types of Remarketing

There are different types of remarketing depending mainly on the advertising platforms we use and the sales funnels. We can perform basic remarketing through Facebook Ads or Google Ads, where we show ads again to users who interacted with the first campaign. We can also do video remarketing for users who interacted with one of our videos, website remarketing for users who visited specific pages, or remarketing for users who became leads.

We can even run remarketing campaigns using a previously uploaded customer list on an advertising platform. For example, through Facebook email marketing lists, we can create a custom audience and show ads to them or even generate lookalike audiences.

Remarketing on Facebook vs remarketing on Google

Facebook and Google are the two major players in the remarketing world. Google started earlier by allowing advertisers to follow users across the internet through its display network. Facebook later revolutionized remarketing and dynamic advertising, offering a much higher level of sophistication and precision that digital marketing professionals have fully embraced and leveraged.
