BTG New Products! 25 Dynamic Remarketing With the recent explosion in online advertising, today’s consumers are exposed to an exponential boom in digital display ads. But 80% of consumers say that the last ad they saw wasn’t relevant to them. Enter dynamic creatives: Dynamic, personalized ads that boost retargeting performance. A user visits a page (or product) on the site, doesn’t purchase, and is served the product in a creative ad unit on other sites they visit. • Across the web and Facebook, we’ve seen dynamic ads provide a 44% lift in ROI and a 115% increase in CTR. • Required: A minimum of 40,000 unique users and access to product feeds. 26 Email Remarketing SendRoll allows you to seamlessly retarget your site visitors with automated emails featuring product recommendations tailored to browsing behavior ─ in the same way that you can already retarget on social, mobile, native and the web through AdRoll. 1st A shopper visits your site but leaves before making a purchase. 2nd Later, SendRoll triggers an email. • Email remarketing uses the same website behavior analysis and dynamic product recommendation technology that we’ve recommended for web retargeting, and also complements the leading email platforms like MailChimp, HubSpot, and Constant Contact, among others. • Average open rates stand at more than 50% and average click-through rates on these emails are above 10%.
