Introduction

When it comes to social media advertising, the ability to target the right audience is critical. Getting your ads in front of the right people, at the right time, can make all the difference in achieving successful campaign outcomes. In this blog, we’ll dive into advanced targeting strategies that will help you refine your social media campaigns and maximise return on investment (ROI).

Priority List:

1. Custom Audiences from Website Visitors: Creating custom audiences based on your website traffic is an excellent way to retarget users who have already shown interest in your business. You can target users who viewed specific pages, added items to their cart, or spent a certain amount of time on your site.

   • Key Tip: Retarget users who abandoned their carts with a special offer or discount to encourage them to complete their purchase.

2. Utilise Lookalike Audiences: Lookalike audiences allow you to reach new potential customers who share similar characteristics to your existing audience. This can be a powerful way to expand your reach without sacrificing relevancy.

   • Pro Tip: Test different percentages for your lookalike audiences (e.g., 1%, 3%, 5%) to balance precision with scale.

3. Dynamic Product Ads: For eCommerce brands, dynamic product ads can showcase products that users have previously viewed or added to their cart. These personalised ads remind users of their interest and encourage them to return to complete their purchase.

   • Example: Serve ads showing a product a user looked at, alongside related products, to increase cross-sell opportunities.

4. Target Based on Engagement: Users who have engaged with your content are familiar with your brand and are likely to be more receptive to your ads. Target those who have liked, commented on, or shared your posts but haven’t yet visited your website.

   • Advanced Tip: Create a retargeting funnel for engaged users, leading them from awareness to conversion with tailored ad messaging.

5. Refine by Demographics and Behaviour: Social media platforms provide a wealth of demographic and behavioural data for targeting. Use age, location, interests, and purchasing behaviours to further refine your audience and ensure your ads reach the most relevant users.

   • Key Tip: Combine demographic filters with custom audiences to increase precision.
