Remarketing 101
• Remarketing lets you reconnect with people who have
visited your site by allowing you to show them relevant
ads when they browse websites and use mobile apps in
the Google Display Network or as they search on Google.

Best Practices (need better title)
#WordStreamLive
• The ad should have continuity with your website design and
include your logo, so that the user is aware it’s an ad for the same
website they have already visited.
• Include a text ad in each ad group, as some sites won’t support image
ads and this ensures you’ll have the opportunity to show. You can always
remove the text ad later if it performs poorly.
• You should include a call-to-action button and demonstrate any
USPs or offers within the ad creative.

Don’t Set It and Forget It
• Be sure to give your remarketing campaigns the same TLC
that you give your other PPC Campaigns. Our top five tips
are:
1. Tweak your bids based on your target audience.
2. Test your ad copy! Be sure you are always using both
image and text ads.
3. Try using different landing pages.
4. Experiment with different frequency caps.
5. Remember that you only pay on the click!
Most importantly, don’t sweat the small stuff!

Remarketing places cookies on the browser of someone who comes to your website. You can then create lists of certain kinds of users based on criteria you select, and target them with unique ads featuring your product on other websites they visit.
Here is an example of WordStream using standard remarketing on the Display Network

EDIT THIS- We’ve found that conversion rates actually increase the more users see an ad within remarketing campaigns. It’s true that click-through rates decline over time, but those people who do click on your ad, after having seen it a few times already, become twice as likely to convert!
Understand that people are busy and have other stuff going on in their life. Remarketing gives people a gentle reminder to finish what they started on your site, while reinforcing your branding and messaging to that user every time they see you around. They’re getting to know you, and learning to trust you, and when they finally do have a free moment, they are increasingly likely to do business with you.

Remarketing lists for search ads allow advertisers to tailor their search campaigns based on whether a user has previously visited their website (or app), and the pages that user viewed
2 Uses:
Making bid adjustments on your ad groups for users (remarketing lists) who are searching on Google using the keywords you are bidding on
Set up search ad groups to only be triggered and show ads if a user is on your Remarketing list, and is searching with the keywords you are bidding on
What - Customer Match gives advertisers the ability to create and target (or exclude) their very own user lists simply by uploading prospects’ email addresses. They can then apply these lists to Search, Gmail or YouTube campaigns and create customized experiences based on the users’ attributes/stages in the purchase journey.
How- Shared library, etc
WHY- This will allow advertisers to serve different ads or cater their bids for users at different stages of their purchase journey – whether they’re a hot new lead, an existing customer, or a frequent buyer.
What- Gmail Sponsored Promotions are a way of targeting users based on their Gmail account activity. Google anonymously crawls through Gmail users’ inboxes and pick up on keywords that you’re bidding on (kind of creepy right?). If there’s a match, your ad will be eligible to serve in the inbox of the user who had the match.
How – EDIT THIS The best, most controlled way of using GSP is to bid on your competitors’ domains. For instance Coca-Cola might bid on Pepsi’s domain (Pepsi.com). Anyone receiving promotional emails or newsletters from Pepsi will be eligible to be served a Coca-Cola ad in their Gmail inbox.
Another cool way to use GSP is to target businesses who have the same target market, but who are not competitors. For example, a florist could bid on theknot.com (a wedding planning site) – because a bride-to-be is in the market for flowers for the big day.
All of the normal targeting options of the Display Network are available for GSP. Segmentation via gender, age, and parental status are all possible
