2. Email Welcome Campaigns –
– Set up an email welcome sequence for when someone first join your list or purchases a product.
– Design the sequence in such a way that it links to various pieces of content on the website.
3. Dynamic Remarketing –
If a user has made their way through to a product page on your website you can track which products they view and automatically remarket to them.
This requires:
- An ecommerce platform that can produce a product feed.
- Facebook and Google Ads tags.
- Facebook Catalogue and Google Merchant Center.

- Anybody who has visited your website ( in the previous 180 days )
- People who have visited your Facebook business page ( in the previous 180 days )
