Bing Ads introduced remarketing for Search and Shopping campaigns, allowing advertisers greater flexibility for targeting with bids, keywords and ad groups to improve campaign ROI. The Remarketing lists allow you to tackle challenges such as Cart abandons, by remarketing your offers to customers who do not complete purchase.
Based on past eTail research, cart abandons results in an average loss of 13 percent of all revenue during the holiday season, and it continues to be a major issue throughout the year.
For the purpose of increasing conversions Bing Ads recommends segmenting your audience into broad categories: Window Shoppers for whom search strategy could center around Expanding Keyword lists, editing ad copy and increasing bids. For attracting the abandoners, test brand reminders, offers such as BOGO, free upgraded offers, bid increases and limited time offers. For engaged audience testing sitelink extensions, bid modifiers, testing click to call and shipping offers, could be the way forward. For offline to online customers, promoting the same message and offers is the usual practice. However, Brands that are running a brand campaign can create a search campaign with a limited time offer to engage the holiday season shopper. For other people’s audiences, bid on broad keywords and increase bids and promote special offers.
