Facebook Remarketing has always been a sure shot way of getting users converted on websites. What exactly has it been doing? Simply targeting those users who visited your page but dropped off without doing desired things, on Facebook. Marketers have been leveraging this tool to get more and more users converted effectively. What if the same could be made possible on apps? What if there was a way you could get a list of users not doing certain events so that you could run a Facebook ad campaign to target and convert them?

There is a very thin line between stalking and Remarketing. When done wrong, Remarketing can irritate people by showing random ads at random hours; but when done right it can do wonders. The following illustration will help you understand quickly what Remarketing is:

Let me share the why’s, when’s and how’s of Remarketing below:

Why App Remarketing on Facebook is a good idea?

In the times of push notifications, in-app messages, emails, why do we need another marketing method? Because all of us are slowly learning ways to filter our notifications by either disabling them or choosing to read at our own will, in-app messages are not very popular and marketers are still struggling to master them and we receive so many emails that it is humanly impossible to go through all of them.

Facebook Remarketing has its benefits—for instance while browsing their feeds, users are going to see a harmless ad that they open it only if they want to. It all boils down to who you choose to show your ad to and the kind of ad you advertise.

When does Remarketing make most sense?

The purpose of using App42 MA is to boost user acquisition, engagement, retention and conversion. Facebook remarketing helps accentuate all of them in the following ways:

Acquisition: Since Remarketing gives you any kind of audience depending on the segmentation you choose, you can get the attributes of the most successful app users and target similar people in Facebook ads to increase acquisition.

Engagement: With Remarketing, you can keep your users interested even if they haven’t opened the app for a long time by showing meaningful ads on Facebook and, in turn, increasing life time value of the users.

Retention: Improve retention of your app by targeting users who have really poor history in sessions or other events and bringing them back on your app with Remarketing.

Conversion: Since Remarketing enables you to choose any kind of events and segmentation, you can improve your funnel by targeting users stuck at a level by luring with them beneficial ads and getting them converted.
