Try Prospecting Ads — a new way to acquire traffic and get more sales with RetargetApp.

What are Prospecting Ads?

Prospecting ads are fully automated, neatly laid-out Facebook ads of your products which are shown to Lookalike Audiences — people who are similar to those who already made a purchase on your website, and, therefore, are more likely to also buy something from your website.

Prospecting Ad Example

The ads are shown in mobile version of Facebook (both in app and in browser). Each ad has a large image or a video and up to 3 products. When a user taps on it, it turns into a swiftly loading fullscreen mobile store powered by Facebook Canvas Ads. Each product, if tapped on, opens a product page on your website where the user can finish the purchase.

Why Prospecting Ads?

  • You get to tell more people about your product without making them go to your website first.
  • You can showcase up to 50 products in a single ad.
  • You get brand new shoppers who can later turn into loyal customers
  • The algorithms inside Facebook will make sure that the ad will be shown to people who are most likely to purchase.
  • If run together with a Retargeting campaign, Prospecting can help significantly boost sales and make both campaigns even more cost-effective. The more people come to your website, the more people will be retargeted with your ads.
