Thomas Smith: Successful Advertising
Source: Wikipedia
The first time people look at any given ad, they don't even see it.The second time, they don't notice it.The third time, they are aware that it is there.The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that they've seen it somewhere before.The fifth time, they actually read the ad.The sixth time they thumb their nose at it.The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with it.The eighth time, they start to think, "Here's that confounded ad again."The ninth time, they start to wonder if they're missing out on something.The tenth time, they ask their friends and neighbors if they've tried it.The eleventh time, they wonder how the company is paying for all these ads.The twelfth time, they start to think that it must be a good product.The thirteenth time, they start to feel the product has value.The fourteenth time, they start to remember wanting a product exactly like this for a long time.The fifteenth time, they start to yearn for it because they can't afford to buy it.The sixteenth time, they accept the fact that they will buy it sometime in the future.The seventeenth time, they make a note to buy the product.The eighteenth time, they curse their poverty for not allowing them to buy this terrific product.The nineteenth time, they count their money very carefully.The twentieth time prospects see the ad, they buy what is offering.

The Frequency and the Force
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Retargeting in Digital = More Efficient
Average CPC/CPA– Lower than the first interaction typically, regardless of
vertical Segmentation
– Ability to segment and target site behavior, demographics & lookalikes
Removal and Suppression– Ability to remove or bid down past converters or other low
value behaviors
…and being “forceful without being creepy or crazy

Choose the Remarketing Type
What you choose depends entirely on what you want the user to experience and how you want them to act.
Standard– You set the message text and images, deciding which creative goes
with which behaviors Dynamic
– Messages and images populate based on user’s past behaviors

Types of Retargeting by Channel

#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Google AdWords
Yes, there’s code that has to be implemented first, before you can really start to do much of anything.
GDN Standard Dynamic on GDN RLSA (remarketing lists for search ads) Mobile Apps Video
Dynamic remarketing requires a feed and Merchant Center, if you are retail and doing product listing ads (PLAs).

Overall Best Practices
Don’t be afraid to use custom audiences of Smart Lists– Major retailers, RLSA Smart List is out performing cart abandoners
Use frequency capping– Google is a lot better than they used to be
Separate campaigns for text and image ads Test multiple ad layouts Watch out for defaults: US & Canada, Enhanced CPC, Optimized
for Conversions (you want this default)
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Don’t forget to check the box either

#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Start Strong Ready to Go Lists – start here
– Cart abandoners– Product viewers– Converters (past buyers)– Site visitors
Use Managed Placements for extra control Target & Bid vs. Bid Only – read this Use Optimize for Conversions
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Segmentation Ideas
Segment audiences by abandoned cart amount, utilize ideal price points
Set target CPAs for each audience, at the very least a different CPA for remarketing overall
Layer on demographic and interests to narrow automatic placements with larger lists like “all site visitors”
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Convincing Everyone You Need This
Tag Manager/development resources needed Potential image/brand issues
– Add a background to templates to customize a more “on brand” feel Dynamic Remarketing case studies from Google (ModCloth &
Sierra Trading) Increase conversions from Cart Abandoners PPC Chat conversation
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
How many days should you wait before remarketing? For cart abandoners
– 24hours tends to have the highest rate of return Everything else tapers off at various intervals after that
– Apparel, home goods, pet supplies, party supplies, beauty, electronics

Continue the Conversation with RLSA
Bid on more generic/head term keywords– But only to folks that have engaged with your site in some way
already– Show up on similar situations or bid on competitor names
Exclude or bid down converted users Shepard behaviors to different landing pages
– Upsell, cross sell or renewals come to mind Highly recommended read: RLSA in Competitive Markets
SERP remarketing (not on the GDN) with keyword and PLA options and with integration in Google Analytics.

Facebook Dynamic Product Ads

#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
But…at a lower volume of conversions.
CommerceHub Average:• 1200-1400% ROAS• 350-15,000 products
Facebook DPA ROAS > Google DPA

#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Facebook AudiencesVery similar to Google in types of audiences but choice of placement matters!
Abandoned cart Viewed product page Past purchases
Where Right rail Newsfeed Mobile (and Mobile Audience Network) Structure campaign so that you can bid by placement, product
category and user behavior
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Unless you are also running Facebook Ads for awareness…
Still needs a first time engagement channel (SEO, PPC, Social, Direct)
Cannibalizes other channels with last click attribution– Seen it vary from 12-20% of Google PLA traffic
Use your revenue numbers, not just Facebook’s– FB counts any click in the path that includes Facebook as a
conversion
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
How many days should you wait before retargeting?
What we’re seeing at CommerceHub:– 2 days generates the most revenue– 7 days is the second most– 28 days is third– 14 days generates the least
*Using 1 day click attribution for apparel and home goods
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
Tips & Tricks for FB DPA Each placement (newsfeed/right rail) needs it’s own ad set
– Structure campaigns so that you can bid by placement, product category and user behavior
– Type of ad varies by placement (size of image, amount of text; can be truncated on mobile for longer headlines)
Start bigger, narrow from there– Seen it vary from 12-20% of Google PLA traffic cannibalize
Watch size of account/campaigns– Too granular is just more work to manage for a marginal improvement in
return Power Editor is your friend
– Bulk actions– Revenue is in the Ad Manager UI

When Retargeting Is Going to Suck
Image: PIxabay
#SMX #23B2 @ebkendo
If you’re tailoring your audience and excluding placement categories that could conflict, you should be good to go.
Unable to add tags/code to website Fast/short sales cycle Really long sales cycle without proper full funnel tracking Privacy or sensitive verticals like mental health, 12 step
programs, dating Conflicting page content (like on GDN) for what you’re
advertising– Like a sale on vacation packages next to a news article about a
plane crash
Until you’re not.
