Custom Audience is a tool developed by Facebook that allows marketers to create the desired customer file to increase efficiency when running Facebook Ads.
When the customer views a product, we believe they are interested in that product. But for some reasons that they haven't completed the order right away such as needing more time to think, asking relatives or friends, checking the price on other websites, etc...the Custom Audience will have full effect. It will help you remarket to the right that customers.
For example you can create a Custom Audience of customers who have visited your website and viewed that product in the last 7 days to run remarketing.
Marketers often create a Custom Audiences with the following 2 purposes:
- Remarketing to existing customers who have visited the website.
- Use the Custom Audiences to create a Lookalike Audience (click HERE to learn it) Especially to mention the Lookalike Audience, this is like a perfect duo that Facebook creates for advertisers. If you haven't tried Lookalike Audience yet, you're probably losing out on a huge customer base.
