If you&#8217;re still looking for some more ways to drive traffic to your website, we&#8217;ve got some suggestions for you.\u00a0 All of the strategies below are possible with your ProductCart store! <!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Facebook Ads<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already tried Facebook Ads, now is the time! They&#8217;re an incredible value, and allow you to experiment with many different audience targeting strategies. Plus, since your ProductCart store (version 5x) is mobile, you&#8217;ll have no trouble handling all the mobile traffic that will inevitably come from the social network to your store.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Supercharging:<\/h3>\n<p>Use Facebook&#8217;s <strong>Custom Audiences<\/strong> to precision target your potential customers.\u00a0 First, be sure to install an <strong>Audience Pixel<\/strong> and a <strong>Conversion Tracking Pixel<\/strong> on your website. Then you can easily retarget ads to your website visitors by creating a custom Website Audience. Take that a step further by creating a Lookalike Audience based on your website visitors. Finally, be sure to upload email addresses from your email newsletter program as well as ProductCart&#8217;s Newsletter Wizard to create a <strong>Custom Audience<\/strong> and <strong>Lookalike Audience<\/strong> from those subscribers and customers. Even customers who declined to subscribe to your newsletter can still be targeted on Facebook using their email address in this way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Pinterest Ads<\/h2>\n<p>This one might be a little more difficult\u00a0since Pinterest has not fully opened up availability of ads to everyone. However, if your Pinterest account has been active, and you see the &#8220;Promote&#8221; button when you log in to your Boards, then try it out! This strategy is great for any retailer whose customers are primarily women.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Supercharging:<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ve already turned on the PinIt button via your ProductCart control panel (right?), but have you looked into <a href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en\/rich-pins\">Rich Pins<\/a> for your products on Pinterest? You&#8217;ll need to apply, but Product Pins include real-time pricing, availability and where to buy. Instant gratification for your potential customers! Now add a promotion to those Rich Pins&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Retargeting Ads<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve gotten them to your website once, now remind them about your products and keep your site top-of-mind during the over-saturated Holiday season. You can retarget to your customers a few ways. We discussed Facebook above, but you can also craft a retargeting campaign via Google or a third-party like AdRoll.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for Supercharging:<\/h3>\n<p>This one requires a little extra work\u00a0because it involves installing tracking pixels in a few places, but the pay-off can be huge. Using the Google Shopping feed available in your ProductCart console, you can set up a <strong>Facebook Product Catalog<\/strong>. This is the first step in setting up <strong>Dynamic Product Ads<\/strong> on Facebook, allowing you to display ads to website visitors based on the specific product or group of products that they viewed or placed in their cart!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again, and everyone is finalizing their marketing strategy for the 2015 Holiday retail season.
