Read the article here.

Return on ad spend (or ROAS) is an important – yet often overlooked – quality metric in PPC and social media measurement where Return on ad spend = total revenue generated by ads, divided by the cost of ad spend.

2. Budgeting
3. Bid Decisions
4. Ecommerce
5. Lead Generation
6. Awareness & Other Campaigns

“Within a people-based marketing strategy, priority audiences should be activated wherever available to maximize reach and response while continually testing new audience targets in siloed inventory or ad formats,” writes Jordan Cardonick. He maintains that remarketing is pivotal to any display and video activation to users who have visited your website because remarketing maintains brand consideration, staves off competition, and can shorten conversion windows with appropriately tailored messaging. When expanding beyond remarketing activation, advertisers should first explore modeled audiences, and when prioritizing within a limited budget, custom affinity and custom intent audiences are always a strong option.

Read the article here.

Remarketing and retargeting are used these days interchangeably and have similar goals, but they are technically different, and Susan Wenograd wants us to know the difference. Remarketing and retargeting differ in strategy – and who you are able to reach. Retargeting can have multiple approaches and often refers to online ad placement or display ads targeting users who have interacted with your site in specific ways without purchasing, and once a visitor enters your website, clicks on a product, or takes a certain action that you want them to take, a cookie is set in their browser to “retarget” them. Remarketing is more often about re-engaging customers via emails.
