Retargeting Campaign

Retargeting Campaign is a pay-per-click campaign, which is used to attract audiences that are already familiar with your business.

Additionally, the advertisement revolves around the idea of convincing the already exposed audience to return to your product. And consequently, improve the conversion rate of the audience.

Facebook Dynamic Ads Retargeting

Another, beneficial aspect of a retargeting campaign is the Facebook Dynamic Ads. Therefore, it is very often that there are several businesses that sell the same kind of products.
