How to set up retargeting ads

By Frank Klesitz in Marketing Training on Dec 23, 2022

We recommend you spend $1 a day ($30 a month) retargeting your videos on FB and IG to the people who visit your website, in your email database, and who interact with your FB/IG page. For many of you, this is plenty of money to reach your warmest audiences about 4x times a month (frequency). This is the checklist we use to retarget client videos on Facebook/Instagram which stops after 30 days. We check your ads monthly on your strategy call, turn them back on, or decide to increase the budget. The way you know retargeting works is people see they see your ads and ideally recognize you when you call them.

How to Retarget Your Videos on Facebook and Instagram

  1. Link your Instagram to your Facebook page
  2. We have permission to your Facebook page (or we create a duplicate one for you)
  3. We have permission to your Facebook Ad Account (or we create a new one for you)
