#thinkppc

Audience Strategy - Advanced trick

➶ Setting your frequency capping in a tier allows you to emphasize the visitors who’ve most recently joined your Remarketing list, while still showing to the longer-term audience.

➶ Similarly, this can be done in an inverted fashion for those products or services that are repeated over a longer period.

#thinkppc

The Right Segmentation

•CPL campaigns – start with visits excluding conversions

• eComm – start with visits (Categories if you have many), Carts and Sales

•Branding – start with visits

Should I Use Hyper-Segmented Audiences?The universal remarketing pixel caused a rush to hyper-segmentation. Instead, start more general and hone in as your data leads you – both for URLs and cookie lengths. Over-complexity keep things from getting off the ground in the early stages.

RLSA Strategies - Exclusion

Exclusion: Don’t waste money on leads you are already nurturing via excluding converted users from seeing ads!

#thinkppc

Other RLSA Strategies

• Bidding• CPA on new users vs. ROAS on existing• Aggressive competitor bidding• Return visits are typically more valuable – Bid Up

• Messaging: Offers to get the user to pull the trigger• Budget Allocation: Allocate budget for new customers only• Keywords

• Head terms on returning users• Really broad intent terms like “gifts”• Consider dynamic search ads for ecomm sites with lots of SKUs or

other high-content sites• Match Types: Loosen match types on returning users

#thinkppc

Dynamic Remarketing

• “What are they” in 30 words or less

• When do you know it’s time for Dynamic Remarketing?

#thinkppc

Dynamic Remarketing

➶ So you kinda know how these ads work, right?• What does it take technically?

- Adaptation to your current Remarketing code• What does it take in the interface?

- New campaign, new ad groups, and best of all - new ads!!
