9. Audience Strategy - Advanced trick
➶Stagger your exposure
1. Create ad groups for visitor frequency
Contact Page 7 Days
Contact Page 2wks
Contact Page 4wks
Contact Page 8wks
2. Set frequency caps for each ad group, such as 3x/week
#thinkppc
10. Audience Strategy - Advanced trick
➶ Setting your frequency
capping in a tier allows
you to emphasize the
visitors who’ve most
recently joined your
Remarketing list, while
still showing to the
longer-term audience.
➶ Similarly, this can be
done in an inverted
fashion for those
products or services
that are repeated
over a longer period.
#thinkppc
11. The Right Segmentation
Should I Use Hyper-Segmented Audiences?
The universal remarketing pixel caused a rush to hyper-segmentation. Instead,
start more general and hone in as your data leads you – both for URLs and cookie
lengths. Over-complexity keep things from getting off the ground in the early
stages.
•CPL campaigns – start with visits
excluding conversions
• eComm – start with visits
(Categories if you have many),
Carts and Sales
•Branding – start with visits

12. Frequency capping strategy
What’s effective remarketing?
When is it just annoying?

on your efforts?

17. RLSA Strategies - Exclusion
Exclusion: Don’t waste money on leads you are already nurturing via
excluding converted users from seeing ads!
#thinkppc
18. Other RLSA Strategies
•Bidding
•CPA on new users vs. ROAS on existing
•Aggressive competitor bidding
•Return visits are typically more valuable – Bid Up
•Messaging: Offers to get the user to pull the trigger
•Budget Allocation: Allocate budget for new customers only
•Keywords
•Head terms on returning users
•Really broad intent terms like “gifts”
•Consider dynamic search ads for ecomm sites with lots of SKUs or
other high-content sites
•Match Types: Loosen match types on returning users
#thinkppc
19. Dynamic Remarketing
• “What are they” in 30 words or less
• When do you know it’s time for Dynamic Remarketing?
#thinkppc
20. Dynamic Remarketing
➶So you kinda know how these ads work, right?
• What does it take technically?
- Adaptation to your current Remarketing code
• What does it take in the interface?
- New campaign, new ad groups, and best of all - new
ads!!

Anecdote: Getting flack from friends who keep seeing the same ads over and over. Is it just annoying people? Or is it reminding them that they almost bought their mom that birthday present and then navigated away. Now everyday they’re shown image ads for the potholders you’d been looking at, reminding you to BUY THAT POTHOLDER set!
