Getting Creative With Retargeting Campaigns
My Favorite Retargeting Campaigns
My favorite campaigns are our retargeting campaigns. We send these after people search for homes in a Region but don’t book. There are a few versions since this campaign people can often qualify for.
Our copywriter did a fantastic job executing on the copy strategy, and the design of these emails is so effective.
