Social Media

No matter what you’re selling, you definitely need to make use of social media like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter to get the word out and discover what people are interested in pertaining to your industry.

Keep Your Customers In The Loop

You’d also send out newsletters to all your customers informing them of the latest trend and update your own blog to give some valuable tips and advice related to your product. Throw in some recommendations to add value and knowledge to your audience.

Encourage Your Customers To Promote You

Discount

Offer your customers gift certificates or promo codes to share with their family and friends. That will generate some buzz to lead visitors to your site. People like getting a discount and when they register at your site to make the purchase, you’d be able to capture their email address to reach them.

Run A Retargeting Campaign

Retaily can help by showing the right ads to those visitors even after they leave your site to encourage them to complete the purchase.

Targeted Magazine Advertisements

You may need to advertise your products in specific magazines if that is your niche market. For instance, if you’re selling fishing rods, there’s a higher chance of you reaching professional anglers by advertising in fishing magazines. You get the idea.

Attend Trade Shows And Conferences

This is a good place to promote your product physically to a physical targeted audience. If your product is revolutionary, you could invite visitors to try it out in the form of free samples or watch you demo at the venue. This will also give you a chance to answer any questions there in order to close the deal.

It’s also important to have some strategic partnerships with other businesses that will complement your customer base.

Retargeting Helps Shoppers Complete Their Purchase

Surprise Gift

According to the latest report by eMarketer, 3 out of 5 American digital shoppers say that online digital ads are well targeted to their interest. This is good news as it shows that retargeting is helping more businesses close sales which would otherwise have been lost.

With the shopping season is in full swing and Thanksgiving is just a few days away, you would think that many small and medium sized online businesses would have ramped up their remarketing efforts in anticipation for the long weekend of online shopping that’s going to blow everyone away. It’s still not too late to do so!

US Digital Shoppers Digital Ads Demographic

While it’s no surprise that many shoppers will be doing comparison shopping before making the purchase, there’s still room for digital ads to remind them of the products that they are interested in, which by then would have a further mark down in prices if not free shipping thrown in.

US Digital Shoppers Demographic

So it’s basically a win-win situation for both shoppers and sellers alike as they aim to close as many sales as possible in this last quarter of the year. Sellers get to offer their products in bundles, with discount and free shipping while buyers get the best bang for their buck as they shop for gifts for their loved ones (or for themselves!).

One thing is for sure, retargeting is here to stay as it helps shoppers complete their purchase while making sure that businesses do not continue bleeding customers.

On a lighter note, can’t wait to catch the upcoming Star Wars The Force Awakens this Christmas as anticipating it well be another blockbuster looking at the rate that tickets are being snapped up in advance ticket sales! Here’s the latest trailer in case you missed it :

Retaily Holiday Shopping Retargeting Tips For Sellers

Gift Cards

We’re in the last quarter of the year heading towards the holiday shopping season (yay!). Online sellers have been making all the necessary changes to their store (I hope), in preparation for the upcoming Halloween and Thanksgiving weekend next month.

Is Your Store Ready For The Shopping Season?

If you haven’t done anything yet due to busy work schedules, you still have time to get your store in shape in anticipation of the traffic that will be coming your way as the holiday season approaches.

Bear in mind that if your store is already getting a considerable amount of traffic right now, thinking through your remarketing strategy to offer different combination of products as gift items will help.

Holiday Shopping Retargeting Tips

Shoppers are constantly looking for the best bang for their buck. So don’t be surprised that other online stores have started their holiday shopping retargeting strategy early to reach their customers. Here are a few holiday shopping retargeting tips, promotions and suggestions that you could consider offering as part of your retargeting strategy :

* Buy 1 Free 1
* Get a gift set with every purchase of {product | $}
* Offer gift set @ {irresistible value}
* Free shipping for {best seller | above certain $}
* Free gift + free shipping for orders above $
* Get X% off on 2nd purchase
* A gift for someone special
* Go ahead, gift yourself, you deserve it
* Buy Now Or Cry Later

Rule of thumb is that if you can offer something that others can’t and that the offer is irresistible and appealing, chances of you closing the deal are higher. And if you think that the holiday shopping season only starts around Thanksgiving weekend, you’ll be surprised that shoppers start shopping before Halloween! Right now, the holiday shopping season stretches the entire month of November and December.

Promote Your Best And Top Sellers

And since it’s the holiday season, it’s also a good time to promote some of your store’s best sellers, latest products, best offers. Bundling them as a gift set or allowing your customers the freedom to custom bundle a gift set of their choice would be of tremendous help.

Obviously you don’t want to keep showing the same ad over and over again to customers who have visited your site. So it’s important to have some variety and spread out the frequency of those ads. Retaily can help as it allows you to customize the type of offers and promotions that you want to show up in ads to your customers.

Make Your Store’s Checkout Smooth

Other than that, please make sure that your online store’s checkout process is smooth as you don’t want all that holiday shopping season retargeting strategy and effort to go to waste. If your store’s checkout process currently has multiple pages for buyers to fill up, that may not be ideal especially if they’re shopping from a mobile (which by the way, more and more folks are using their mobile to shop these days).

Here’s a one page checkout that you can consider which is being offered by InstanteStore to help their merchants close the sale faster and smoother :

Retaily Can Help Reach Your Target Market

Fruits

Being an online seller does have its challenges. So does any other job out there unless you’re paid to take vacations! Some of the main challenges that sellers face is to reach the right type of customer. So in essence, getting traffic is not enough. You need to get the RIGHT type of traffic. Because there could be a tonne of visitors coming to your store and the bulk of them may end up leaving without making a single purchase.

Retaily can help you reach your target market. Well, now how is this going to work? Online stores that have a lot of traffic usually have no way of finding out what those visitors were looking for at their site unless they engage the services of a remarketing provider. Well, now that would have solved it right? Not exactly.

Generic remarketing providers will usually show ads of the product or company brand to visitors who have visited their clients’ site. Retaily takes it a step further by analyzing the visitors’ intention to see what they were interested in based on the time spend looking at specific products. If visitors did add any product to the shopping cart but left without completing the purchase, Retaily is smart enough to offer that particular visitor an offer for that specific product based on what the merchant sets. So it could be an offer for free shipping or a specific percentage off the specific product price.

Retaily makes retargeting smarter as you don’t want to simply blast out offers and free shipping to people out there who may not even be interested in buying your products. You want to target your customer market specifically because you know that they are the ones looking for your product and they are also the ones who know about your company and website.

Take McDonalds as an example. They recently introduced a bicycle friendly packaging called the McBike to cater to the needs of cyclists who are their customers. Launched in Copenhagen, Denmark where there’s plenty of cyclist, it has proven to be quite a success. It’s about knowing what your target market is looking for and then offering them a better incentive to buy your product. Check out the short video below to see what I mean about the McBike :

So the question is, what is your target market looking for? What type of incentive will help encourage them to buy more from you? Is it free shipping? Or further discounts? Could it be that there is a BIGGER target market of consumers who have yet to discover your amazing product?

In order for you to reach out effectively to them, you will need plenty of data and information to make the necessary changes and offer the right kind of promotions. Retaily can help as we offer smart dynamic retargeting service to online sellers. You can reach us at http://retai.ly/

Retaily Remarketing Run Down

Retaily Remarketing Infographic

Online sellers know that visitors are leaving their site. Many have tried to reach these visitors by using retargeting service providers. While many of the retargeting service providers could show ads of products to these visitors, those who decide to have a go at Retaily remarketing will notice the difference. Instead of the online seller providing the ads to the retargeting provider, Retaily is smart enough to create the personalized ads based on the website products for sellers.

Retaily is able to target mobile apps other than desktop and is able to advise online sellers on how their ad spent is being utilized.

So in a nutshell, rather than visitors keep leaving your site, why not allow Retaily to track and monitor your visitors in order to serve them personalized ads on products that they are interested in?

Those personalized ads will need to show offers that are good enough to encourage your visitors to complete the purchase process based on the visitor data that was crunched from your online store.

While other service providers may just show your ads as a form of branding or actual price as on the website, Retaily gives the option for sellers to specify the offer price to show to selected visitors based on the products that they were interested in. This makes better sense as the goal is to encourage buyers to click on the ad and complete the purchase back at the store with a deal that buyer and seller deem fair.

While remarketing and retargeting is not new, making the best use of data and giving buyers what they’re looking for will definitely help increase sales for sellers. For more info, please check out http://retai.ly/

Retaily – Small Businesses Are Turning To Smart Marketing Automation

Old Fashioned British Sweets From Your Childhood

Businesses Need To Revamp Their Marketing Strategies

As mobile users continue to increase, many small businesses are realizing that they can no longer do marketing the old fashion way. Many are now turning to marketing automation as a way to reach the many mobile users out there.

The reason for the change is because many online businesses are not satisfied with the results that they’ve been getting from their manual ways of doing marketing. These businesses see the need for better features as their old email marketing software may no longer be relevant in reaching mobile consumers.

Catching Up With New Technology And Mobile

Not only do they have to deal with the wave of new technology that is now more app-based, the age group of consumers and the way they respond to online shopping has also changed. As more and more consumers use mobile to do online shopping and browsing, businesses realized that they have to be more nimble and stay abreast with the current shopping trends.

Consumers are using their mobiles to shop online more. Emails are flicked through quickly while one is commuting from home to work or vice versa. No one wants to waste time reading long-winded emails any more. Images capture the attention faster and it’s not surprising that they have to be that way. Mobile users will only spare a few seconds of their time so the ads or offers had better grab their attention.

Retaily foresee that as mobile ads continue to rise, many businesses will turn to dynamic retargeting to be able to reach visitors who have shown interest at their products or services when browsing. And businesses want smart marketing automation.

Know Your Customers’ Preference

In order for that to happen, businesses need to take the initiative to know their customers’ preference. Like who wants to keep getting emails every day from the same company about products that they are totally not interested in? Call it email fatigue. I mean, look at your own inbox and chances are, the bulk of your emails are mostly not relevant to you at all. Most will end up in the spam folder (if that’s not already full with hundreds of spam per day!).

Smart Marketing Automation

When we talk about smart marketing automation, it’s not only dynamic retargeting. It’s also about knowing what your previous customers were buying from you along with their spending habits. All these will make your marketing efforts more productive as businesses make it a point to take an interest in their customers’ preferences and to act accordingly to it instead of blasting out generic emails or offers. Find out what Retaily can do to help your online business grow further by going to http://retai.ly/

Talk about knowing what your customers would like. Check out this short video on Spotify’s Taste Rewind where the company claims to know what kind of music you would like in the 60’s or 70’s before you were even born based on your current music preference.

Retaily Helps Increase Sales By Converting Lost Prospects

Retaily

Many Lost Opportunities

Online sellers know that consumers these days prefer to make purchases quickly. If they land on your site and spent some time looking at your products, it basically tells you that they were interested in what your site has to offer. But many leave without buying anything for various reasons. Some may have added your products to the cart but did not complete the checkout process.

Without the visitor registering their details at your site, businesses will have no way of reaching them to offer a special discount for the product that they were interested in. Unless the visitor contacted them or left their email address behind. Many online sites that have lots of traffic realized that those were lost prospects and opportunities who just needed a good offer to encourage them to complete the purchase.

Retaily Retarget Lost Prospects

That’s where Retaily comes in. Sites that have a reasonable amount of traffic can now use Retaily to help increase their sales. What Retaily does is to analyze the heat signal of each visitor to see where they land on your site and what products they were interested in. It will also note down the products that were added to the cart (but not purchased) and craft out a good offer to display to the same visitor.

Online sellers will be able to specify the type of offer or discount for their products which are not available on their site that Retaily will use to retarget these lost prospects. These offers will be shown in the form of dynamic retargeted ads to the visitor as they browse other popular sites. All this will be done automatically.

Time Frame Factor

Retaily will show these dynamic targeted ads to only visitors who have shown interest in the merchant’s products. That way, merchants will know that their marketing budget is wisely optimized. This is a better option compared to conventional advertisement where one does not even know whether the customer is even interested to purchase the product or not.

These dynamic ads will have a time frame factor. That means they will only be shown at specific times and also with reasonable frequency to the targeted visitor. The software will take into account the best time to offer the ads depending on the visitor’s geographical location and the site’s best shopping time.

Retaily To Help Online Stores Reach Lost Visitors To Increase Revenue

Retaily Launch

ASEAN SME Showcase & Conference 2015

A big thank you to Mr Mohd Razaleigh bin Zainal (VP, Corporate Communications and Marketing) and Ms Wee Huay Neo (Director, SME) from the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) for officiating the launch of Retaily at the recent ASEAN SME Showcase & Conference 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last week.

The ASEAN SME  was Asean’s first small and medium enterprise showcase and conference which saw a total of 1,567 participants from 324 local companies, ministries and agencies as well as 62 international companies and bodies taking part in the event.

Participants from South East Asia saw a range of businesses from Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia showcasing some of their best products and services. Other participants came from South Korea, Japan, The United States of America, United Kingdom and Hong Kong.

The 3 day event was officiated by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and was attended by the various participating countries’ ministers.

About Retaily

Retaily Main Page

The Retaily team worked hard to create a retargeting service that aims to help small and medium sized businesses reach out to online visitors to their store. Hence it was no coincidence that the launch of Retai.ly was held at the ASEAN SME Showcase & Conference 2015.

Based on statistics, 99 out of 100 visitors leave a site without buying anything. Retaily can change that by showing the Right Message to the Right Person at the Right Time.

Online businesses know that getting just an additional sale would mean DOUBLING up their sales revenue!

So instead of advertising to customers who may not even know about your business, wouldn’t you rather target visitors who have visited your site and who have shown interest in your products or services? Because once they leave your site, they are lost forever.

Retaily is able to analyze your visitors’ browsing behavior and gives each a heat value. The best compelling message is then crafted and tailored to each visitor. The idea is to process the heat value of each visitor to find out their intent in order to show the right kind of ad to them specifically. All this to help merchants close the deal with their customers who have shown interest in the products that they are selling.

Currently Retai.ly is integrated with major shopping carts like Shopify and InstanteStore. Setting it up just takes a few simple clicks.

From now until 31st July 2015, merchants who are using Shopify or InstanteStore can use Retaily for FREE via http://retai.ly/. To reach Retaily, please email us at questions@retai.ly
