Retarget Retarget Retarget
Now that you have created your audiences let Facebook work its magic and take advantage of your retargeting stacks. By using the Facebook Pixel, you can collect data on website visitors and retarget them.
Retarget individuals have engaged with your content, visited your website, or subscribed to your emails. Retargeting ads are a profitable way to begin to get more crowdfunding campaign backers.
Utilize Lookalike Audiences
Facebook uses their algorithm to create a list of users that have similar attributes to those that you’ve designated. Once you get some backers to contribute to your campaign create LAA from those backers. A lookalike audience will be more likely to show interest and engage with your offer.
