In a world full of competitors, think USP
Test different remarketing messages
● Remind them about your company● Use message to upsell or offer accessories● Offer a free digital download with a purchase● Free shipping or free item with purchase● Offer a discount on their purchase
Bonus Tip: Discounts do not need to be the first remarketing message, test other offers first.
