Even if you are still running ads for your products there are chances you are missing out on the fine details that make your ad stand out and perform exceptionally. We discuss some key strategies and pointers to lead the way for your ads.

1. Multi-Product Advertising

It gives the customer a wider sense of the product range and makes it more likely for him to click on the ad. Chances are higher that a customer is attracted to any one of the products if not more, than seeing a single product. This type of ads boosts conversions by giving options to the consumer. It is seen that multi-product ads run by companies have yielded 300% more click-through-rates than conventional.

2. Retargeting Campaign
If you have ever been on an e-commerce site shopping, you know that you leave a majority of items left in the cart. The same thing happens with your customers too. Specifically, 72% of the online shoppers end up letting go off their cart without purchase. That is opportunities lost on your ads. If you can retarget your campaigns to go with your customer base, about 25% of the customers are seen to come back and make a purchase. Retarget with coupons, discounts and offers. Since the customers were already interested in the product, you just need to push them over the fence for the sale.

3. Creative catch
