Introduction

With Discount Ninja you can easily offer a promotion only to those that were retargeted by our Facebook ad.

About retargeting

If you're not retargeting, you're leaving money on the table! Facebook allows you to remarket your ads to an audience you define. This allows you to serve your ad again to those who have previously shown interest.

As we know the buyer journey requires multiple "touchpoints". In other words, we want to send our promotion to a customer multiple times to familiarize him with our offer, to gain his trust and simply stay top of mind. When the right moment comes they will hopefully remember your offer or click through.

Setting up Facebook Dynamic retargeting

Facebook allows you to retarget your customer through a number of means, one which is known as Dynamic Ads, learn about them here.
Basically, Facebook shows your prospective customers an ad that consists of a carousel of products they visited on your shop earlier. You can add a custom message to it and, with Discount Ninja, you can link it to a promotion!

Adding a discount to retargeting ads

Offering a promotion in a retargeting ad can be a useful strategy to convince prospective customers that are "on the fence". Those that are not quite sure may purchase when presented with a convincing incentive.
