We recommend you spend $1 a day ($30 a month) retargeting your videos on Facebook and Instagram 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 4-6x times a month (frequency). If your frequency is lower over 30 days, increase your budget accordingly. 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. We run two ads – one is a video ad to it's respective blog post and the other is an offer to generate leads to a web form.
