I ’d like to begin with a story…
There once was a website with very big dreams
Wanted conversions bursting at the seams
They started adwords, facebook, and seo
But they found their conversion rate to be low
So they went to dcxaustin to find ways to boost sales
And found help with these retargeting tales

I know ads follow me around… .. .but what is retargeting?
Cool site, bro

Focusing on 2 things
1 . RETARGETING IN YOUR SALES FUNNEL
2. ADVANCED RETARGETING
Part 1: retargeting in your sales funnel
For a long time…
Email was your only chance
For anyone new, here’s how it works
Create retargeting audiences
Serve them that ideal ad
Most people serve the same retargeting ad to all their visitors
For example
Visitor A (Ready to Buy)
Added to cart Abandoned cart
Visitor B (Needs More Info)
Looked at blog post But not product pages
Don’t serve both people an informational ad
Much better
Person A (Ready to Buy)
“Ready to check out? (don’t snooze on this deal)”
Person B (Needs More Info)

2. Advanced retargeting for bosses
“time for a refill”
Sell a consumable? Visitors run out in 30 days…
So you want to serve an ad
AFTER 30 Days BUT not forever
A 45 day list + a 30 day list “Serveadtouserson45daylistwhoarenoton30daylist”
how convenient – I just ran out!

Does it work? It’s too expensive!
Same concept as ‘need a refill’
Audience 1
Viewed cart page 7 days
Serve ‘tesImonial’ ad
Audience 2
Viewed cart page 14 days AND NOT the 7 Day View
