Best Practices…Retargeting Requires a Well Thought-Out Plan: Since retargeting is like a decision tree, it requires advanced planning to help define a student's future intention, motivation and action.
Maximize Site Traffic During a Retargeting Campaign: The greater user pool exposed to the retargeting pixel, the more the institution increases the chance their retargeting will perform.
Use Subtle Creative Messaging: The message to the visitor shouldn't glaringly or aggressively refer to their previous uncompleted action or visit intent. Instead, it should have elements that relate to that site to motivate them to return.
Test Various Calls-to-Action: Retargeting allows you to serve different communications to the same user within the recent period of their visit to your institutions site.
Have Complete Creative Ad Size Coverage: Since no one can predict where a user may go after leaving your site, have a full range of sized ads so they can be served on various publisher's sites. Don't forget rich media options.
Consider Layering Other Targeting Criteria: When it's relevant and the audience is large enough you may review options to employ additional targeting capabilities to control cost.
