CRO and remarketing

Once you have visitors on your website, it’s vital that you have efficient conversion rate optimisation (CRO) strategies in place to gain traction, increase leads, and improve your bottom line.

CRO is not just about making small adjustments to a landing page, it’s about testing variations in your copy and developing a thorough strategy to develop meaningful conversion gains.

Plus, you may always be looking at ways to find new business, but what about the customers who have already bought from you? Remarketing is the process of targeting previous customers to convert again and it should be a key part of your marketing strategy. Statistics from Mailchimp indicate that, when used as part of a wider marketing strategy, remarketing can be responsible for upwards of 50% more sales!

WHAT IS CRO & REMARKETING?

Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is the process of increasing the amount of website visitors who take a desired action. This desired action may be anything, from filling in a form and enquiring about your services to becoming a customer. The CRO process involves understanding how your visitors are using your website, what actions they are taking and what is preventing them from completing your goals.

The remarketing process involves tracking your audience’s online movements and remarketing to them with specific adverts. When someone visits your website, a few lines of code will drop an anonymous cookie in that user’s browser. This cookie will track the site visit, and when the user leaves your website, the cookie will tell your ad platform. This will then leave carefully targeted ads in the browser, nudging the customers to come back to your website and convert.

How EDGE approach CRO & Remarketing

  • 01

    STEP ONE: SEGMENTING YOUR REMARKETING LISTS

    Segmenting your audience lists allows for high-value remarketing. Factors such as time on site, number of pages visited, and specific page visits are all important factors to consider when segmenting your audience. The more specific you can be when separating out your lists, the more personalised your marketing can be. Driven by data, we will start organising your audience by their likelihood of conversion to allocate your budget most effectively.

    STEP TWO: PINPOINTING THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY

    Different pages on your website will offer your audience something unique. For example, if customers are adding items to their shopping cart but later abandoning it, you may need to look at your user journey, find out what isn’t working, and encourage conversions in a different way. Using this data and your customer personas, we will develop a marketing funnel and provide every user with the necessary information they need to encourage conversions.

    STEP THREE: CREATING MEANINGFUL INTERACTIONS

    The creative strategy behind your remarketing process is just as important as the development of the marketing funnel. Curating compelling ad copy alongside intriguing imagery will help grab your audience’s attention and elevate campaign success. You should ensure that your creative choices are relevant to your target audience in the correct stage of their customer journey and that they fall within your brand guidelines with a compelling call to action. In doing so, you ensure that every interaction is meaningful.

    STEP FOUR: TESTING

    Creating different types of ads for your remarketing campaign is important to reach as many people as possible. We will test the formats, platforms, and sizes of your advertisements so that we can see which work best for your campaign. Once on your page, we will then test to see how the visitors convert. If you are gathering high amounts of traffic from the remarketing ads, but conversions aren’t very high, we will work out how to increase conversion rates, whether by changing copy, amending the layout of your landing page, or changing the call to action.
