We consistently see strong remarketing campaigns DOUBLE the effectiveness of a campaign. However, even people who run strong remarketing campaigns make one crucial mistake—they only run remarketing within the same network as their original campaign.
That's where omnichannel remarketing comes in. Kasim first learned about this game-changing strategy from Aleric Heck, which has proven highly effective.
To help you achieve similar results, we have compiled a list of networks that allow omnichannel remarketing (also known as retargeting). Using as many of these networks as you find viable, you can take your remarketing efforts to the next level and achieve even greater success.

Kasim [00:00:11] In the world of paid ads, there's one tool that rises above 2
[00:00:14] all others in terms of amplification. 3
[00:00:17] Here's what that means. 4
[00:00:18] There's one tool on your tool belt that will amplify everything 5
[00:00:21] else that you're doing, paid and organic, sometimes by double. 6
[00:00:24] And that tool is re marketing. 7
[00:00:28] Re marketing. 8
[00:00:29] I have consistently seen strong re marketing campaigns double 9
[00:00:32] the efficacy of paid marketing. 10
[00:00:33] As a matter of fact, my business is a perfect example of that. 11
[00:00:37] Our cost per lead used to average about 500 bucks. 12
[00:00:41] And when we ran remarketing campaigns to a company, our normal 13
[00:00:44] campaigns, it cut it into half. 14
[00:00:45] It's sub 250. 15
[00:00:46] it's an amazing ability to move the needle without much cost. 16
[00:00:51] That's what's really cool is marketing campaigns are effectively 17
[00:00:53] free in some instances because you don't pay unless somebody 18
[00:00:55] clicks and you want them to click. 19
[00:00:56] Or if you do pay, you're paying the lowest CPMs. 20
[00:00:58] Available instead of that ad network. 21
[00:01:00] There's a term that I learned from my buddy Alrick Heck called omni channel 22
[00:01:03] remarketing, which is something that he espouses heavily and I just stole from 23
[00:01:06] him shamelessly And it means that you want to run remarketing campaigns on 24
[00:01:10] every single channel possible So in this video i'm going to talk to you about 25
[00:01:14] all Of the channels that we use to run remarketing for ourselves and channels 26
[00:01:18] that you should use to run remarketing for you So first usual suspects easy 27
[00:01:21] breezy lemon squeezy the obvious ones google which includes youtube And meta, 28
[00:01:25] which is Facebook and Instagram you have to be running remarketing campaigns 29
[00:01:28] across all of these, no matter what. 30
[00:01:30] If you're not doing that, you're leaving money on the table, truly. 31
[00:01:32] If somebody comes to your website and doesn't buy, which statistically 32
[00:01:35] speaking is everybody, adjusted for margin of error, nobody buys from you. 33
[00:01:38] Right? 34
[00:01:38] The average conversion rate on a website is sub 2%, which 35
[00:01:41] is effectively zero people. 36
[00:01:42] So, if somebody comes to your website and doesn't buy, you want 37
[00:01:44] to remind them that you exist. 38
[00:01:45] Now, you can sculpt. 39
[00:01:48] So you can say, Hey, only remarket to people who didn't buy, meaning 40
[00:01:51] only remarket to people who didn't land on my, thank you page. 41
[00:01:53] And maybe remove people who bounced within 10 seconds, cause they 42
[00:01:57] obviously weren't applicable. 43
[00:01:58] Or maybe prioritize people that weren't. 44
[00:01:59] Pricing page or my demo page so you can sculpt these audiences, but make 45
[00:02:03] sure you're running remarketing Google network and the meta network no matter 46
[00:02:05] what number two especially if your b2b is LinkedIn LinkedIn 41 percent of 47
[00:02:12] millionaires use LinkedIn according to source con it is The nice thing about 48
[00:02:15] LinkedIn is it's effectively blue ocean. 49
[00:02:17] It's smaller than Google and Meta. 50
[00:02:20] But the LinkedIn users actually really engaged. 51
[00:02:23] And I learned this the hard way, kicking and screaming. 52
[00:02:25] This was recommended to me by my friend Christine Marie. 53
[00:02:27] She said, don't sleep on LinkedIn. 54
[00:02:28] I said, you're crazy. 55
[00:02:29] LinkedIn is just, place where people go to spam me in Messenger. 56
[00:02:33] And yet we started posting organically on LinkedIn. 57
[00:02:34] It was an unbelievable how easy it was to get an engagement and 58
[00:02:38] how high value the engagement was. 59
[00:02:39] Real comments, real conversations, real discussions. 60
[00:02:42] LinkedIn is taking the place of what Twitter used to be in a lot of ways. 61
[00:02:45] And so people using LinkedIn are going to be exposed to your remarketing ads. 62
[00:02:47] So make sure that you, use LinkedIn remarketing because very, very, very 63
[00:02:50] often you're marketing in a silo. 64
[00:02:52] Next up, tick tock, tickety tock. 65
[00:02:55] We're part of a beta program with TikTok, where we're using TikTok in order 66
[00:02:59] to amplify other marketing channels. 67
[00:03:02] Re marketing on TikTok is an absolute no brainer. 68
[00:03:05] Now, marketing on TikTok really depends on your avatar and your audience. 69
[00:03:08] But the reason I say re marketing on TikTok is a no brainer is because if 70
[00:03:11] somebody's already been on your website, they might as well see you in TikTok. 71
[00:03:13] And the nice thing about TikTok is... 72
[00:03:15] Permeation and penetration is easy because people consume 73
[00:03:18] an insane amount of content. 74
[00:03:20] Absolutely insane amount of content. 75
[00:03:22] Don't think that because your avatar is a little older, they're not on TikTok. 76
[00:03:26] I've actually seen the numbers shared by TikTok themselves and that was true. 77
[00:03:31] At the outset, but tick tocks, largest and fastest growing audience is actually 78
[00:03:37] veers a little older than you'd assume. 79
[00:03:39] I think it's over 30. 80
[00:03:40] So use tick tock and again, from a remarketing perspective, it makes all 81
[00:03:43] the sense in the world because you're only going to remarket to users who've 82
[00:03:46] actually already been on your site. 83
[00:03:47] So it doesn't cost you anything if there's nobody to market 84
[00:03:50] to, then you just don't pay. 85
[00:03:51] Same thing with Snapchat, which is next up on my list. 86
[00:03:53] Snapchat is it's not the darling that it once was, but it has a strong contingent 87
[00:03:58] of traffic, and the benefit of remarketing on Snapchat is it costs you nothing. 88
[00:04:02] Like, that is super, super cheap traffic. 89
[00:04:06] Same thing with Pinterest. 90
[00:04:07] Pinterest has super small numbers, but they're mighty. 91
[00:04:10] They're small but mighty. 92
[00:04:10] And people in Pinterest are super engaged inside of Pinterest and they 93
[00:04:13] spend a lot of time in Pinterest. 94
[00:04:14] And they take ownership over their, space. 95
[00:04:16] You'll notice certain profiles are like that. 96
[00:04:19] Certain social networking sites and content sites are like that people really 97
[00:04:22] assume ownership over their Pinterest spaces their Instagram spaces But not 98
[00:04:26] quite as much over their Facebook profiles or their LinkedIn profiles Let's say and 99
[00:04:31] I think a lot of that has to do with the UI how customizable the UI is obviously 100
[00:04:34] But because people are so heavily engaged inside of Pinterest the time in the site 101
[00:04:39] is is pretty high for the average user. 102
[00:04:41] So they spent a lot of time in app and it's a great place for them. 103
[00:04:44] it's neural association. 104
[00:04:45] They're seeing your brand, your face your logo, your 105
[00:04:47] products, your website, whatever. 106
[00:04:49] And that helps you hit those 500 touches that we have to hit. 107
[00:04:51] Next up is Twitter. 108
[00:04:52] Don't sleep on Twitter Building a community is one of the strongest things 109
[00:04:55] you can possibly do and then exposing that community to your message especially 110
[00:04:58] if somebody's already expressed interest is Very powerful and again Twitter 111
[00:05:02] traffic is so cheap I think we max out our Twitter remarketing capabilities at 112
[00:05:05] like 150 a month or something insane. 113
[00:05:08] And I spend, 200, 000 a month in ad spend. 114
[00:05:10] it's unbelievable how many people you can get out in front of 115
[00:05:12] inside of the Twitter ecosystem. 116
[00:05:14] Next up would be Reddit! 117
[00:05:15] Smartest people in the world are Reddit. 118
[00:05:17] Smartest people in the world are on Reddit, I should say. 119
[00:05:19] The smartest people in the world are on Reddit. 120
[00:05:20] They're also the meanest and most immature. 121
[00:05:23] But they're brilliant and if your customer base is on Reddit, then meeting them where 122
[00:05:28] they are can be really, really helpful. 123
[00:05:30] Bing, Microsoft's Bing, which by the way is actually, improving 124
[00:05:34] in efficacy since the rollout of ChatGPT, which is integrated in 125
[00:05:36] some of Bing's search capabilities. 126
[00:05:38] We've used Bing pre Chat GPT, and it's really helpful. 127
[00:05:42] The average Bing user is less clicky so they search less, they spend more 128
[00:05:46] time on site, and they click less, which means that when you do have 129
[00:05:49] them engaged, you really own them. 130
[00:05:51] They're less likely to abandon ship. 131
[00:05:53] And again, traffic is super cheap. 132
[00:05:55] Yahoo! 133
[00:05:57] To be honest I know nothing about this. 134
[00:05:59] Nor have I tested it. 135
[00:06:00] But it came up in my research on strong remarketing channels and was 136
[00:06:04] recommended by some thought leaders that I have a mild amount of respect for. 137
[00:06:07] So, feel free to test Yahoo! 138
[00:06:11] If you'd like. 139
[00:06:12] Same thing with Amazon. 140
[00:06:13] I've never run remarketing inside of Amazon but I know it's possible. 141
[00:06:16] And so if you are... 142
[00:06:18] An Amazon seller, then you should probably be using Amazon, and I didn't 143
[00:06:20] want to leave it out of my video because it didn't feel comprehensive. 144
[00:06:22] One tool that I have used is AdRoll. 145
[00:06:25] AdRoll is interesting. 146
[00:06:26] It's a, it's a pocket of traffic that it feels like a black hat network. 147
[00:06:30] Right? 148
[00:06:31] Like everywhere that AdRoll exists feels like a website that's probably 149
[00:06:34] going to get shut down someday. 150
[00:06:35] For, selling illegal Viagra pills or something. 151
[00:06:38] But, again because it's remarketing you get some really honest 152
[00:06:41] shots at getting back in front of people that were interested. 153
[00:06:43] And again, the traffic is super cheap, worth trying. 154
[00:06:46] Last but not least, Taboola. 155
[00:06:48] And there are others, by the way, there's Taboola, Outbrain I forget the third. 156
[00:06:52] That big one, but there's a bunch of these content networks where you can 157
[00:06:55] remarket with content specifically. 158
[00:06:57] The only one that we've used is Taboola. 159
[00:06:59] Traffic is super cheap. 160
[00:07:01] delivering ads disguised as editorial content. 161
[00:07:03] So it's not like you can't just copy and paste your normal marketing campaigns. 162
[00:07:06] You actually have to. 163
[00:07:07] create something that fits inside of the tubal ecosystem, but if you can 164
[00:07:09] create that it can be really helpful. 165
[00:07:11] Here's the thing, not one of these networks is going to make or break you. 166
[00:07:15] But if you add them all together, you end up being what I affectionately 167
[00:07:19] refer to as digital herpes. 168
[00:07:20] People tell me that all the time. 169
[00:07:21] They're like, dude, I cannot get rid of you. 170
[00:07:24] And what they don't realize is that, you know, they think I'm like internet 171
[00:07:27] famous and a ubiquitous truth. 172
[00:07:28] It's just them. 173
[00:07:29] They went to my site or engaged with one of my profiles, and now 174
[00:07:32] I'm going to follow them around until they buy, die, or unsubscribe. 175
[00:07:34] And you can do the exact same thing, and you can do it for 176
[00:07:36] not nearly as much as you think. 177
[00:07:38] And because of the amount of money we spend driving traffic, and that just 178
[00:07:41] doesn't mean paid traffic, by the way. 179
[00:07:42] I don't, even if you're not driving paid traffic, if you have a podcast 180
[00:07:44] or a YouTube channel, and you're having a social organic, you're 181
[00:07:47] still spending money, right? 182
[00:07:48] Time is money, money is money. 183
[00:07:50] And getting people to the site and then having them not convert. 184
[00:07:53] Is a travesty remind them that you exist with some of these networks you can follow 185
[00:07:57] people around for years give yourself that opportunity you've probably if 186
[00:08:01] you've been following me for any length of time heard me talk about the 500 touch 187
[00:08:03] rule People think it takes seven touches before somebody's ready to convert google 188
[00:08:07] did a multi year multivariant study that showed it takes 20 touches For a candy 189
[00:08:11] bar and up to 500 touches for an airline ticket chances are what you're selling is 190
[00:08:15] either As complex or more complex than an airline ticket, which means you need to 191
[00:08:18] get 500 touches in front of that person. 192
[00:08:20] And the, the, really the only way to do that effectively is with remarketing. 193
[00:08:24] You know, and 500 might be mildly hyperbolic, depending on, I mean, even 194
[00:08:28] though it's data driven from Google, depending on the industry that you're in. 195
[00:08:30] But let's say it's 50, right? 196
[00:08:32] Or 20. 197
[00:08:34] Remarketing is the path. 198
[00:08:35] This is the way. 199
[00:08:36] So I'd love to know if you have remarketing channels that I missed, 200
[00:08:39] or you've tried the two remarketing channels that I mentioned and haven't 201
[00:08:42] tried which are Amazon and Yahoo. 202
[00:08:45] I'd love to know any pro tips you have or advice, tips, tricks, 203
[00:08:47] hacks, best practices, et cetera. 204
[00:08:48] Otherwise, if I've provided you any level of value, like, comment, subscribe. 205
