#091: A 17% Conversion Rate?

Feb 01, 2025

 Read Time: 1.5 Minutes

 

I was recently analyzing our Facebook Ads data and had to do a double-take...

One of our *Retargeting Ads* was converting at just over 17%.

Let me put that in perspective:

Most "cold" Facebook Ads (that are shown to people who have never seen or heard of your books before) convert at 2-3%. A really good ad might hit 3-6%.

But 17%? That's game-changing.

And it makes sense when you think about it.

Retargeting Ads are shown to readers who've already shown interest in your books. In short, a Retargeting Audience (the way I create one) is made up of anyone who:

→ Clicks on any Ad of yours

→ Engages with any Ad of yours (i.e. shares, comments, reactions, etc.)

→ Follows your Facebook Author Page

→ Has seen or engaged with any of your Facebook Page Posts

These are people who are already familiar with your brand and your books; also known as a "warm audience".

Yes, there are different levels of familiarity and awareness in a Retargeting Audience.

For example, someone who saw your Ad 365 days ago and has seen nothing of yours since is a lot less aware of your brand than someone who saw your Ad yesterday and bought your book because of that Ad.

But the numbers don't lie. A Retargeting audience, with the right strategy, can drive a LOT of sales for very little cost.

They just need to see the right message at the right time to take action (i.e. buy or borrow your book). And it's a lot easier to convert someone who is already familiar with your brand than someone who has never seen or heard of it.
