Imagine you’re looking for a unique gift for your partner’s birthday. You spend hours browsing different online stores, exploring options, and comparing prices.
Finally, you find the perfect gift, but just as you’re about to make the purchase, something happens: your boss appears, asking for a task or an urgent phone call interrupts you and makes you completely forget to complete the transaction.
Days later, while you’re browsing your social media feeds, suddenly an ad appears showing exactly the gift you had left in your shopping cart. The excitement returns, and you realize that the store is reminding you of your original intention. You feel grateful for the reminder and for avoiding a potential argument, and without hesitation, you click again to finalize the purchase.
That, my friends, is the power of remarketing.
We could see the same story from the seller’s point of view, where many people show their intention to buy, but for some unknown reason, they don’t go through with their purchase.
For this reason, remarketing strategies have gained popularity in recent years. So today, get ready to delve into the world of remarketing, where unfinished stories turn into conversion opportunities, and brands find a way to connect with their audience in a unique and effective way.
But before we dive into this topic, and only in case you’re so new to social media advertising that you’ve never done an ad, I recommend reading this article I wrote some time ago: http://fmsocialmediaworks.com/es/crea-tu-primera-promocion-paga-en-instagram/
Remarketing, also known as retargeting, is an effective tactic that allows reaching users who have previously interacted with our brand, providing us with an invaluable opportunity to increase conversions. This tool uses cookies to track users’ behavior and show them specific ads on other websites or social media platforms. The main goal of remarketing is to reconnect with those users, remind them of our brand, and attract them again to take a desired action, such as completing a purchase, subscribing to your newsletter, or downloading a resource.
Remarketing is important in a marketing strategy for several reasons. Firstly, it allows us to increase the exposure of our brand to a highly relevant audience: users who have already shown interest in what we offer. By showing them customized ads, we remind them of our value proposition and keep our brand fresh in their minds. Additionally, remarketing is an effective way to overcome objections or doubts that users may have, as it gives them the opportunity to reconsider their initial decision and complete a conversion.

Now, assuming that we all know how to create paid ads and have a certain idea of how to do them correctly, we move on to the implementation of this type of strategy.
To implement an effective remarketing strategy, let’s take the following steps:
Before we begin, it’s important to establish clear objectives that we want to achieve with our remarketing strategy. It could be increasing sales, generating leads, promoting an event, etc. These objectives will help us make more precise decisions at each stage of the strategy.
Audience segmentation is crucial for sending customized and relevant messages. Dividing visitors into groups based on their behavior on our website, such as pages visited, products viewed, or actions taken, will allow us to tailor our ads to each segment, increasing the chances of conversion.
To implement remarketing, we’ll need to add remarketing tags to our website. These tags are snippets of code that are inserted into the pages and allow us to track visitors and gather information about their behavior. We can use advertising platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or Twitter Ads to generate and set up these tags.
Using the information collected through the tags, we need to create remarketing lists in our advertising platform. These lists will include visitors who have taken specific actions on our website. For example, we can create a list of those who added products to the cart but didn’t complete the purchase. These lists will allow you to show personalized ads to each audience segment.
Now is the time to create impactful and personalized ads for each audience segment. We should use images, videos, texts, and calls to action that align with the interests and needs of each group. We can’t forget to highlight the benefits and unique features of our products or services to capture users’ attention.
It’s important to find the right balance in the frequency in which we show our ads to users. We don’t want them to feel chased, but we also don’t want them to forget about our brand. Experiment with different frequencies and conduct A/B testing to find the optimal point for your brand.
We should regularly monitor the performance of our remarketing ads and make adjustments based on the data and metrics we obtain. We need to observe click-through rates, conversions, and ROI to identify which segments or ads are generating the best results. I recommend taking advantage of tracking and analytics tools provided by the advertising platform to obtain detailed information.
By following these steps, we will be able to keep our brand in the minds of interested visitors, increase conversions, and maximize the return on investment of our marketing campaigns.
Remarketing is a powerful strategy that can make a difference in the success of your online business.
