Hello,

Dear publishers.

After comparing CPC, CPA, and CPM price models, today we will continue helping media buyers maximize their profits. 

The topic is retargeting and how to use it effectively when creating push ads campaigns.

What is retargeting and how does it work?

Retargeting is a powerful marketing technique that helps you to reach out to people who have already visited your website or interacted with your ads. It works by using cookies to store data about the user's browsing history and preferences

This enables marketers to show ads to those users on mobiles, websites or platforms. In addition, retargeting can also be used to target users who have previously converted, and to send ads to those users in order to remind them of your product or service.

In most tools to contact users, for example Pushground, there is the option to retarget the user again because it registers those users who have seen the push notification, clicked and converted.

What is the goal of remarketing?

The goal of retargeting is to keep a brand or product top-of-mind for users who have shown an interest in it, but haven't yet completed a purchase or other desired action. By using remarketing, site owners and advertisers can create personalized ads that are more likely to resonate with users and increase the chances that they will convert.

How to start with retargeting?

It can be done through a variety of digital channels, including social media platforms, search engines, and display networks. 

For example, an e-commerce store can use Facebook or Instagram to show ads to users who have previously visited their website or engaged with their social media posts. 

Similarly, an advertiser can use Google Ads to show ads to users who have searched for specific keywords related to their brand or products.

To create a successful retargeting campaign, advertisers need to carefully segment their audience and tailor their ads to each segment. 

A useful illustration is they might show different ads to users who have abandoned their shopping cart versus users who have only visited the website once. 

By using different messaging and offers, site owners can increase the chances of converting users who are at different stages of the buying process.

What types of retargeting are available?

There are several types of retargeting that advertisers can use to reach potential customers who have already shown an interest in their brand, products, or services. 

Some of the most common types of retargeting include:

  1. Website retargeting – showing ads to users who have previously visited a business's website. This is often the most basic form of retargeting and is used to remind users about a brand or product they have previously shown an interest in.

  1. Push notification retargeting – a type of remarketing that allows businesses to reach users who have previously engaged with their website or mobile app through push notifications. 

Push notification retargeting works by using a tracking code or SDK (software development kit) to track user conduct on a website or mobile app, and then sending targeted push notifications to those users based on their behavior. 

  1. Search retargeting – involves showing ads to visitors who have once searched for specific keywords related to a business or its products. This type of retargeting can reach users who are actively looking for a product or service, and it is used to drive more qualified traffic to an advertiser's landing pages or sites. 

  1. Email retargeting – applies to show ads to users who have earlier opened or clicked on an email. This remarketing method is good for getting users to go back to a business's website or getting them to do something, like buy something.

  1. Social media retargeting – interests, showing ads to users who have heretofore engaged with a business's social media content. This includes users who have liked or commented on a post, or who have visited a specific social media profile.

  1. Dynamic retargeting – involves showing ads that are personalized to a user's behavior on a website or other digital platform. For example, if a user has previously viewed a specific product on a website, a dynamic retargeting ad might show that product again, along with related products or special offers.

How retargeting can improve my paid push notification campaigns?

Some ways that retargeting can help improve your paid push notification ads include:

  1. You can create personalized ads that are tailored to users who have previously shown an interest in your brand or products with retargeting. 

By using information about a user's past behavior, such as the products they have viewed or the actions they have taken on your website, you can create ads that are more relevant and engaging.

  1. If you target users who have already engaged with your brand, you will be able to create ads that are more relevant and meaningful to them. The chances that they will click on your ads and take a desired action can be increased by this.

  1. Click-through rates and conversion rates are higher for retargeted ads than for non-retargeted ads. This is because they are being shown to users who are already interested in your brand or products and are therefore more likely to be receptive to your message.

  1. Because retargeting is focused on reaching users who are already familiar with your brand or products, it can be a cost-effective way to drive conversion. 

With remarketing, it is possible to achieve your advertising goals while spending less on ad spend because retargeted ads have a lower cost per acquisition.
