start a retargeting campaign

buyer retargeting

testimonials + user generated content

reach campaign for past buysers

- use that instead of SALES
strategies
purchase event in 7 days
process

- retardget this audience with an Awareness (REACH) objective campaign
- at the AD SET level, set the Frequence Cap to 1 impression every 3 days
-
Create an ad with a selfie video (best engagement results by far for us)
- say something like:
Thank you so much for your purchase from [company name]! We are so excited to have you as part of our community! If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to us! Thanks again!
- say something like:
why does this work
- extremely effective
- people appreciate being appreciated!
purchase event 30 and 60 days
create two Custom Audiences of users who made a PURCHASE event in the past 30 and 60 days.
30 days

- this eliminates the users that are unhappy or already claimed a refund in the first 30 days
60 days

gamify (ie contest) the creation of user generated content
-
e.g. tesimonial / review

create an ad targeting "Purchase in past 60 days" Custom Audience and exclude "Purchase in past 30 days" Audience
- we are targeting buyers between 31-60 days

-
SALES conversion campaigns are the most expensive / high CPM user to market

split test other campaigns

- Traffic
- etc

| sales conversion type | goal |
|---|---|
| TOF | View Content |
