Three Critical Retargeting Strategies

Depending on whom you ask, conversion rates on websites hover around the 2 - 3% mark. This leaves at least 97% of website visitors with unfinished business potential. While your maximum unrealized potential isn't likely to be 97%, it's not 0% either. Somewhere between these two extremes lies the size of the missed opportunity - and this is where retargeting comes in.

Retargeting is a tool designed to help companies reach that elusive 97% of users who don’t convert right away.These visitors abandon the sales funnel for many reasons;they mayjust be window shopping, or not have their credit card on hand; but in the highly competitive world of online advertising, it is more important than ever to maximize the value of each visitor that shows an interest in your brand.

What is retargeting?

Why Dynamic Ads are Here to Stay

If you work in the World of online advertising, it can seem as though there's a new buzz word appearing almost every single day. Lately, there has been a great deal of interest in the media around the idea of programmatic advertising and dynamic ads. From a marketing perspective, dynamic ads could be the next step in how to find a customer during their ideal decision making circumstances - which makes it a powerful weapon for savvy companies.

The alternative to dynamic advertising, typically referred to as native advertising, is similar to simply throwing ads into the wind and hoping they'll hit someone that might be convinced to buy your product and service. In order for you to get any results, that handful of advertisements you throw out will need to come into contact with a large number of different people. Alternatively, new digital tactics like dynamic ads are much smarter, as they are triggered by a specific action, buying decision, or demographic. This ensures that you spend as little of your ad budget as possible, while still hitting the mark for brand awareness.

4 Finishing Touches for Your Dynamic Ads

On the surface, Dynamic Search Ads simply look like any other Google AdWords content, except for the fact that the headline typically echoes the exact search phrase the user typed in to begin with. However, unlike typical Google AdWords content, Dynamic Search Ads are presented based on the content of your website, meaning that you won't have to maintain awkward lists of keywords.

Dynamic search ads work by using the web crawling technology of google to carefully target relevant queries according to the content on your website. Incrementally, traffic that you receive through dynamic search ads can be used to help fill the gaps in your keyword campaigns - ensuring a greater return on investment.

If you have been considering the value of using dynamic search ads for some time now, you may be wondering how to make the most out of your investment.

Display Banner Ads Vs. Text Ads: A Healthy Competition

If you own or run a business, then it’s only right that you should use online advertising. While referrals, organic search traffic and growing popularity with your brand will bring in customers, it’s never wise to rely solely on them. For some businesses, they boast about their lack of advertising spend like it’s a badge of honor. Put simply, ‘natural’ revenue can’t be depended on.

Online advertising can yield a huge ROI, but there are a number of things to be aware of before creating your first campaign. Initially, since there are loads of places to buy ads, it’s important to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each platform. And that’s in relation to your target customers, not someone else’s.

How To Use Dynamic Ads

Display ads need to captivate consumers with compelling creative and dynamic messaging. But creating a fresh and engaging ad takes precious time and effort. Until recently, high quality ad creation waschallenging for marketers, (particularly in small businesses) but all that has changed with the advent of dynamic ads.

Dynamic ads in a nutshell

Dynamic ads are unique in that they adapt themselves to the person seeing them. Each ad is personalized based on criteria such as the viewer’s product interests, location, or demographic, and then served in real-time, with a relevant product, offer, or message.

The idea is that by being personalized to the viewer, dynamic ads will attract more engagement than standard, generic ads. Not only that, but by sending each person directly to the web page that’s most relevant to them, dynamic ads reduce clicks in the conversion path, which can ultimately boost conversion rates. However, it is also important to not overly personalize your dynamic ads to the point where the viewer is creeped out.
