An Overview of Marketing Controls
Advertising is an important part of any business, but it can also be tricky. The goal of advertising is to reach the right audience at the right time, so marketers use various techniques to control how consumers view their advertisements.
One way they do this is by using marketing controls. Marketing controls are simply methods used by marketers to control how consumers interact with advertising campaigns. They can be as simple as choosing what colors to use in an advertisement or as complicated as deciding which channels to advertise on. In this guide, we’ll go over some common marketing controls and how you can use them to improve your own advertising efforts!
Ad Extensions
You know what they say: the more you know, the less you show.
And that’s where extensions come in. One of the most common ways to control who sees your ad is through extensions. These are small pieces of code that appear alongside your ad. They allow you to customize your ad based on where it appears. For example, if you only want your ad to be shown on a certain kind of website—say, news sites—you can set up an extension that will display only when someone visits one of those sites.
Dynamic Remarketing Lists.
Dynamic Remarketing Lists are another way to control who sees your ads. If you use Google AdWords, you can create a list of users who visited your website and then add those users to an ad campaign. You can also create a list of people who have visited certain pages on your site or added certain products to their cart but didn’t complete the purchase.
This type of targeting allows you to show ads to users who have shown interest in your product or service but haven’t bought it yet. This helps you increase sales without wasting money showing ads to people who don’t care about what you’re selling!
Targeting Options.
You can also target users based on their location, device type, and other criteria. For example, you might only show ads to users who live within a certain radius of your business. Or you might only show ads on mobile devices.
You can also target users based on their interests and demographic information. This is particularly useful for targeting customers who are likely to be interested in what you’re selling. It is a great way to help cut down on costs while still getting the most out of your ads!
Display Network Ads.
If you use Google AdWords, you can choose to display your ads on websites across the web. This is called the Display Network. It includes sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
The Display Network is a great place to reach people who are actively searching for solutions to their problems. These people will be focused on their search and are therefore more likely to notice your ads.
You can also target specific groups of people who have an interest in what you offer. For example, if you sell products for pets, you could target pet owners by setting up campaigns that show only when someone searches for an animal-related query on Google or Bing.
Audience Segmentation.
You can also choose to limit who sees your ads by using the Display Network. This allows you to control where your ads appear based on the type of site visitors you want to reach. For example, you might only want to show your ad to users who visit certain pages on your website.
This way, you can make sure that people who visit your homepage don’t see an ad for a product that is only available on a more specific page of your site. This is called audience segmentation and it helps you improve the relevance of your campaign.
