Retargeting ads are useful to remind potential customers.[00:06:23] Using warm engagement or retargeting ads is cheaper to get people to sign up. Running ads 24/7 grows email list, and retargeting email lists are less costly. Content retargeting ads can be used to push content to the audience.

Running ads to registered individuals is also important for retargeting.[00:12:04] Retargeting ads should be 10% of the total budget for a launch, and it's recommended to spend $100-$150 on retargeting for every 300--500 people in the promotion. If spending more, follow the 10% rule.[00:17:17] Retargeting ads budget tips, upload email list or URLs to retarget, focus on $100-150 per 3-500 people, monitor ad performance and adjust spending if needed, track cost per result for sales or leads and reach for content.
