Remarketing Advertising
Remarketing advertising, sometimes called retargeting, is a fantastic way to continue to promote your products/services to “warm audiences” who viewed your content once but did not take the desired “conversion” action. The paid social ads experts at Globe Runner can create remarketing audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and other networks based on views of certain content plus additional parameters such as recency, length of viewing time, etc. Remarketing shows your ads to people who have already shown interest, moving them through the pipeline from “warm” prospects to “hot” leads to “red hot” customers!

So, if your audience is on another network, or paid social on another platform is right for your product or service, we will recommend it, then make it happen!
Frequently Asked Questions about Paid Social Media Advertising
When should you consider doing paid social ads?
Consider paid social ads when you need a cost-effective way to build brand awareness, generate leads, boost website traffic, and maximize reach and engagement among a finely tuned target audience. Paid social ads allow for targeting customers based on their demographics, interests, and affinities for subject matter and content.
Is YouTube paid social or paid search?
Some might consider the advertising on YouTube paid social because users create and share their own content on the platform. Others might consider the advertising on YouTube paid search because the platform is built around a massive search engine that handles millions and millions of searches each month. Still another group might consider YouTube advertising a hybrid of paid social and paid search.
What is the difference between paid search and paid social?
Paid search is the term for ads that appears on search engine results pages. The advertiser is charged for the ad only when a viewer clicks on it.
Paid social is the term for ads that appear on social networks. Each network calculates advertising costs differently. Some networks, such as Facebook, calculate ad costs using more than one method. Certain ad types allow the advertiser to choose if they will pay upon click of the ad or if they will be charged each time their ad accrues a certain number of impressions.
Why are paid ads important?
Paid ads are a useful way for businesses to market their products and services to audiences who will be interested in them. This is especially helpful for new businesses or companies that have added new product and service offerings to their websites who have not yet achieved top search engine rankings.
