What is facebook retargeting?
Facebook retargeting simply means the act of re-engaging customers and visitors who have one time or the other visited your website without buying from you, with highly targeted facebook ads. These facebook ads are usually based on their recent interaction with your service or product.

Obviously, some of your visitors buy on their first visit to your site, but they are very insignificant, about 2% to 3%. Where are other 97%? I quite agree that your squeeze pages might attract some leads and you can get like 35% to %40 from them through email marketing, but you are still leaving so much money on the table.


And one obvious behavioural fact about visitors is that the people buy after several contacts to offers, so it will be very prosperous to adopt Facebook retargeting to get these people back to your offers.

1. You don’t much time to convince your customers, so you have to be creative.

You have to observe what makes your audience unique and different from others so that you can retarget them intelligently.

     2. Put a call to action on your offer page
Inserting a call to action on your offer page is one outstanding way of converting your visitors to buyers. Choose words that will push them to click on your offers. Words like ‘read more’, ‘click here’, are great words that create curiosity in visitors to click on your Facebook retargeting links.

This can be done by creating customized ads for your website visitors while they are on different pages of your website. Relevant ads are very important for the success of your retargeting campaign.

 8. Test all ad formats to know what works best for you.
Facebook has several ads formats and sizes.
