Create a Social Ad Campaign for your website

Website campaigns drive clicks back to your website, and ultimately help drive conversions. Use this highly-targeted ad unit to:

• Target visitors who have browsed your site for specific products, increasing the chances of turning that visitor into a customer.

• Target consumers who recently purchased a product or service from you to promote your latest deals and offers.

Facebook ads combine the power of AdRoll with social capabilities such as likes, shares, or comments to increase organic interest as well.
