It’s really remarkable how precise you can get with targeting people on the Interest based on their demographics, interests, and purchase history…among other things.
For instance, if you want to run ads to women that have purchased from designer boutiques in the last 6 months, you can target them for your high-end online clothing boutique. If you want to target moms with kids in elementary school, you can do that for your online kids furniture store. If you wanted to target plus sizes women that shop for clothes online, you can target just those purchasers for your plus sizes clothing website or your weight loss products.
Essentially, you can leverage information on users from multiple data providers who know people’s buying behavior and other valuable data points you can utilize to target those users online with various types of display ads, videos, retargeting ads, and other ad units.
