#75: How To Make More Sales With Facebook Retargeting Ads

How Does Retargeting Work? Retargeting is a cookie-based technology that uses simple Javascript code to anonymously ‘follow’ your audience all over the Web. Here’s how it works: you place a small, unobtrusive piece of code on your website (this code is sometimes referred to as a pixel). The code, or pixel, is unnoticeable to your site visitors and won’t affect your site’s performance.   Every time a new visitor comes to your site, the code drops an anonymous browser cookie. Later, when your cookied visitors browse the Web, the cookie will let your retargeting provider know when to serve ads, ensuring that your ads are served to only to people who have previously visited your site. Retargeting is so effective because it focuses your advertising spend on people who are already familiar with your brand and have recently demonstrated interest. That’s why most marketers who use it see a higher ROI than from most other digital channels. Why cart abandonment happens: There are multiple reasons for users to not complete the checkout process. Following are some of them. Trouble during payment because of credit/debit card issue. Extra charges like shipping and taxes. Looking for coupons online to get a discount. Distracted by external sources. Bad internet connection. Waiting for approval of another person. Too long and complicated checkout process. Looking for product reviews. They don’t trust your site. It’s a high ticket item and they are still warming up to the purchase.
