2. Retargeting Campaigns
Objective:
Retargeting campaigns are designed to re-engage visitors who have shown interest in purchasing tickets but have not yet completed their transaction. By using retargeting ads, SayPro can keep the event top of mind and encourage attendees to finalize their ticket purchase.
2.1 Retargeting Ads for Abandoned Cart/Incomplete Purchases
2.1.1 Ad Targeting Criteria
- Audience: Users who have visited the event page but have not purchased tickets.
- Action: Create a custom audience based on website behaviors (e.g., page views of the event or abandoned cart events).
- Ad Placements: Utilize platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Google Display Network, and LinkedIn to show retargeting ads.
2.1.2 Ad Copy & Design
- Message: The ad should remind users about the event and its value, with a clear CTA to complete the purchase.
- Ad Design: Use dynamic ads that display the event’s visual assets (e.g., speakers, agenda) and highlight urgency (e.g., “Only X tickets left!” or “Discount Ends Soon”).
- CTA: “Complete Your Purchase Now” or “Don’t Miss Out on [Event Name]!”
2.1.3 Incentive in Retargeting Ads
- Discount/Offer: Consider including a time-sensitive incentive (e.g., a discount or bonus offer) for users who complete the ticket purchase within a specified period.
- Example: “Finish Your Registration Today and Get 10% Off Your Ticket!”
2.2 Social Media Retargeting
2.2.1 Custom Audiences for Social Platforms
- Facebook & Instagram: Create custom audiences based on people who have clicked on the event ads, visited the event landing page, or interacted with related content (e.g., posts about the event, speakers).
- LinkedIn: Use LinkedIn’s advanced targeting tools to retarget users who engaged with event-related content or viewed the event landing page.
2.2.2 Sponsored Ads
- Run sponsored posts or carousel ads that showcase the event’s highlights (e.g., “Top speakers,” “Key benefits for your business”), reinforcing the value of attending. Incorporate social proof by showcasing testimonials or reviews from past events.
2.3 Programmatic Display Ads
2.3.1 Retargeting on External Websites
- Use programmatic display advertising tools to show banner ads across other websites that the potential customers are likely to visit. These ads can follow the user as they browse other websites, keeping the event in front of them until they return to the ticket page and complete the purchase.
2.3.2 Cross-Platform Retargeting
- Implement cross-platform retargeting where ads are shown consistently across mobile apps, desktop browsers, and social media platforms. This keeps the event top of mind and reminds users to purchase their tickets.
3. Segmentation and Personalization in Retargeting Campaigns
3.1 Tailored Ads Based on User Behavior
- Event Interest: If a user visited a specific session or speaker page, retarget them with ads related to those topics or speakers to increase relevance.
- Previous Engagement: For users who interacted with an email campaign or clicked on a CTA but did not purchase, create ads highlighting the value proposition of attending and include specific details about the session they were interested in.
3.2 Dynamic Retargeting Ads
- Utilize dynamic retargeting ads that automatically display customized content based on users’ past interactions with the event. For example, ads can feature specific topics or speakers that a user engaged with previously.
4. Integration of Email and Retargeting for Maximum Impact
4.1 Coordinated Campaigns
- Align email marketing with retargeting efforts. For instance, an email campaign promoting early bird discounts can be complemented by retargeting ads offering the same discount to users who did not open the email or take action.
4.2 Follow-Up Ads for Non-Responders
- If users received an email but didn’t purchase, follow up with retargeting ads that reinforce the email’s message, adding urgency or exclusivity (e.g., “Last chance to get your tickets!”).
5. Tracking & Analytics
5.1 Measure Performance
- Use analytics tools to track the performance of both email marketing and retargeting campaigns. Monitor metrics such as open rates, click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and ROI for each campaign.
- Utilize A/B testing for email subject lines, copy, and CTAs to identify the most effective messaging and design.
5.2 Campaign Optimization
- Continuously optimize campaigns based on performance data. For example, if retargeting ads are not driving conversions, consider testing different ad copy or creative, or re-engaging users with personalized incentives.
Conclusion
Using email marketing and retargeting campaigns together creates a powerful strategy for boosting ticket sales and driving attendance for SayPro’s events. By combining targeted emails with dynamic retargeting ads, SayPro can effectively nurture leads, remind them of the event’s value, and encourage them to complete the ticket purchase process. This integrated approach maximizes exposure, engages potential attendees at multiple touchpoints, and ultimately drives more successful conversions.
