They are there to consume information, and that might just include special deals or a reminder of a product that they are quite interested in purchasing.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"tve_p_center\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px !important; white-space: normal;\" spellcheck=\"false\">But you might ask, \"Email is free, so <g class=\"gr_ gr_3 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"3\" data-gr-id=\"3\">why<\/g> pay for an ad?\"<\/h3><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\">As I\u2019m sure you are aware, most people don\u2019t open our emails.

Those ads are hard to ignore. You are forcing your message to be seen and to at least be considered.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\">Plus, retargeting can be useful for things other than selling your courses, coaching, or products. For example, <span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\">you can use retargeted ads to show people your latest article or another piece of content<\/span><\/span>.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\">While you might not like the fact that there isn\u2019t direct revenue earned by promoting your content, this is a great way to <a href=\"http:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/07\/grow-your-website.html\" class=\"\">increase \ufeffthe&nbsp;engagement<\/a> happening on your content.

It&nbsp;was for me too.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\">Luckily you can skip most of the tricky stuff. <span class=\"bold_text\">Facebook\u2019s key strength lies in their ability to laser-target a specific audience<\/span>. With all the options available, things can get complicated, but I\u2019ll show you how to skip most of those complications&nbsp;in just a minute.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">One of my favourite things about retargeting is that you can automate it. <span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\">Once it\u2019s set up, you can spend about&nbsp;5 minutes per day checking in on it.<\/span><\/span> That leaves&nbsp;more time to take care of other parts of your business.<\/p><h2 class=\"\"><span class=\"bold_text\">Is Your Business Ready to Run Retargeting Ads?<\/span><\/h2><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">If you have an audience, you can do retargeting. An audience could be your email list or a Facebook page, for example. As I\u2019m helping fitness coaches who have an email list, I\u2019ll use that as an example.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">You can do retargeting with just a handful of people on your list, but if that\u2019s your case, I\u2019d work on growing your list, then moving over to Facebook retargeting ads.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\"><span class=\"bold_text\">T<\/span><\/span><span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\">he more people you can retarget, the more options you have. I wouldn\u2019t do it with less than 500 people on my email list,&nbsp;and even that\u2019s quite low<\/span><\/span>. Once you import their email, Facebook will usually only recognize around half. That\u2019s most likely because they signed up to your list with a different email than they use for Facebook.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\"><span class=\"bold_text\">The larger your email list, the more you can automate it.<\/span> If your list is small, you\u2019ll easily reach everyone on the list, and if you reach them too often, they will lose interest and likely never click your ad.<\/p><p>Are you still with me?

People become disinterested in an ad they see too often.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">The exact frequency to target&nbsp;will depend on your list size, but usually, <span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\">as the frequency increases, the click-through rate decreases<\/span><\/span>. When click-throughs decrease significantly over a few days, it\u2019s usually time to create a new ad or pause it for awhile until you build up your audience.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\"><b>3) Timing<\/b> - You\u2019ll want to leave your ad running for 24 hours before checking the results. Sometimes it takes a while for Facebook to deliver the traffic and optimize your ad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"\"><span class=\"bold_text\">How to Use Advanced Retargeting<\/span><\/h2><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">With retargeting you can also do more advanced strategies such as grouping people according to how they act on your site. Here are five ideas to get you started:<\/p><p class=\"underline_text\"><span class=\"bold_text\">Idea #1. Anyone who visits your website<\/span><\/p><div style=\"width: 929px\" class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption img_style_lifted_style2\">\n<span class=\"tve_image_frame\">\n<img class=\"tve_image\" alt=\"Retargeting\" src=\"http:\/\/www.totalcoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Advanced-retargeting.png\" style=\"width: 929px\" width=\"598\" height=\"292\" scale=\"0\">\n<\/span>\n<\/div><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\"><b><span class=\"underline_text\">Idea #2. People who signed up for your email list but didn\u2019t confirm<\/span><\/b> (if you are using double opt-in for your email subscribers). One way to do this is to select people who visited specific pages but not others. Then you can include people who reached your&nbsp;\"sign up\" page, but exclude those who also landed on your \"confirmation\" or \"thank you\" page. <span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\">You only want people who started to sign up&nbsp;but didn't complete the process.<\/span><\/span><\/p><div style=\"width: 793px\" class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption img_style_lifted_style2\">\n<span class=\"tve_image_frame\">\n<img class=\"tve_image\" alt=\"Email sign up\" src=\"http:\/\/www.totalcoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Edit-signed-up-without-conf.png\" style=\"width: 793px\" width=\"598\" height=\"452\" scale=\"0\">\n<\/span>\n<\/div><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\"><b><span class=\"underline_text\">Idea #3. People who almost made a purchase<\/span><\/b>. If you have online courses on your website, you can group people who added a product to the cart but didn\u2019t buy it, and then show them an ad with a discount for that item.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\"><span class=\"bold_text\"><span class=\"underline_text\">Idea #4. &nbsp;Clients who bought your courses<\/span><\/span> are more likely to buy from you again, so you could group these people together and offer an upsell.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\"><span class=\"bold_text\"><span class=\"underline_text\">Idea #5. People who read two or more articles<\/span><\/span> but didn\u2019t sign up to your email list. You can do that the same way as shown in idea #2 \u2013 simply include some articles and exclude the signup page.<\/p><h2 class=\"\"><span class=\"bold_text\">Automation and Daily Maintenance for Your Facebook Ads<\/span><\/h2><p>Once you\u2019ve set things up, your Facebook ads require little work on a daily basis.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">What you need to look for on a daily basis is&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adomasbaltagalvis.com\/2015\/04\/18\/7-mighty-ways-to-fight-facebook-ad-fatigue\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">ad fatigue<\/a>.&nbsp;As we already discussed, as frequency increases, your ad effectiveness will tail off.<\/p><p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"white-space: normal;\">From time to time, you\u2019ll simply need to change the ad image, copy, or offer enough to give your targets something new worth looking at.<\/p><p>I usually spend 5-10 minutes daily just to make sure things are running as they should.<\/p><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_contentbox_shortcode\" data-tve-style=\"1\" id=\"\">\n<div class=\"tve_cb tve_cb1 tve_red\" data-tve-custom-colour=\"85176839\">\n<div class=\"tve_hd tve_cb_cnt\" data-tve-custom-colour=\"1041036\">\n<h3 class=\"\" data-tve-custom-colour=\"93326014\">\nPRO TIP:<\/h3>\n<span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tve_cb_cnt\">\n<p spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"\">One of my favourite tools from Facebook is called a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonloomer.com\/2014\/03\/31\/facebook-lookalike-audiences-wca-fans-conversions\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">look-alike audiences<\/a>. Once your retargeting audience is large enough (a few hundred at least), you can tell Facebook to programmatically look for people who are similar to those already in your list. <span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\"><span class=\"bold_text\">Facebook will then search for people <\/span><span class=\"bold_text\">who<\/span><\/span><span class=\"bold_text\"><span style=\"background-color: rgb(239, 232, 88);\"> act and look (demographic-wise) similarly<\/span><\/span>.
