WHAT IS RETARGETING AND HOW CAN IT HELP YOUR DISTRIBUTOR BUSINESS?

Chances are you have noticed those ads that seem to be following you around the
internet and/or Facebook. They start to magically appear shortly after you’ve
visited an advertiser’s website. You are being retargeted.
When you visited the advertiser’s website, your computer or mobile device was
“tagged” and added to an audience list. Now the advertiser can show you ads to
remind you about their products or services. Basically, retargeting is the
process of dropping a tracking code on a website visitor’s browser for the
purpose of adding them to a list, so ads can be placed in front of them while
they search the internet and social media platforms.
All this may sound a little creepy. But the fact is, if you visit a site that
sells stuff you’re interested in, you are likely to click on their ads
afterward. Especially if you left the site because you got distracted, or you
were not quite ready to buy. And let’s face it, what are the chances of you
getting distracted and leaving a site without taking any kind of action? I’ll
take a not-so-wild guess: extremely high.
Quick fact: According to Marketing Sherpa, 90-98% of visitors don’t buy or take
action on their first visit.
As a distributor business, you need traffic that will lead to leads and sales.
If you spend time, effort and money in getting traffic to your website, you know
a high number of visitors leave your site without taking any action.
Additionally, most of those visitors will never come back—even if they were
interested or looking to buy in the short term. Leveraging those visitors by
staying on their radar makes good business sense.
And it does pay off:
The average click-through rate for display ads is 0.07%. The average
click-through for a retargeted ad is 7%, according to CMO.com.
By showing them your ads afterward you increase the chances of them returning to
your website and completing the desired action. That can be contacting you,
requesting a quote, or signing up for a free offer.
HOW RETARGETING WORKS
1. Prospect visits your site.
2. Prospect gets tagged.
3. As prospects are browsing your site, the phone rings, they get a text
message, the person they were waiting for arrives—you get the idea. So off they
go. Gone forever.
4. Prospects see your ads as they browse around internet, and/or their social
media platforms.
5. As they see your ads they remember and click again, returning to your site.

THE PROVEN BENEFIT OF A HIGHLY TARGETED AUDIENCE
It’s been said that a person needs to see an offer at least seven times before
they make a buying decision. Retargeting helps you accomplish that by allowing
you to place your message in front of prospective clients multiple times, at a
low cost.
In addition, it allows you to segment your audience and create different lists
based on the pages they have visited. For example, you can do this for each
product and service you offer. That way you can create different retargeting ads
for different audiences at different times. This allows you to better connect
with them and move them towards a purchasing decision.
In having such ultra-targeted and focused ads, you will notice a huge jump in
your ad response and investment effectiveness. This is one of the major reasons
retargeting is such a highly efficient means of advertising for your business.
IS RETARGETING RIGHT FOR YOU?
If your website gets more than 800 visitors per month, then retargeting ads are
worth implementing. If you’re already doing Pay Per Click campaigns, adding
retargeting ads is also beneficial.
Before implementing the ads, you want to make sure your landing pages are
optimized for conversions. Directing your ads to general information pages, such
as your homepage, will not lead to results as good as having specific pages
specially designed to stimulate visitors to take the next desired action.
IN CONCLUSION
Online ads are a good way to get more eyeballs onto your business, but they can
be costly and even risky if you are not working with an expert. You can spend a
lot of money very fast and see no results whatsoever. But retargeting allows you
to advertise your business to a smaller audience that has shown an interest, in
a more controlled and economical way. You still have to follow online ads’ best
practices, but it’s something you can try on your own and do regularly with a
modest ad spend.

help your business, we’d love to help! Visit the resources section of Action

for distributors.
