ROTE 075: Larry Kim and the Power of Retargeting Advertising
To make it in the world of online marketing, you need to continually adapt your business for the changing times and trends around you. While email and pay per click marketing are still driving massive traffic and leads for businesses everyday, the costs of using these platforms are also increasing daily as well.
Retargeting is now one of the hottest methods to turn your existing audience, customers and mailing list subscribers into pure goal. Thanks for advertising platforms like Facebook Ads and Twitter, it’s never been easier to retarget advertising right back to your audience, even after they leave your site.
All of this and more in this latest episode of Rise of the Entrepreneur with Larry Kim.
