Dynamic remarketing is a personalized advertisement that helps users who are already familiar with your products and services remind about you. For example, to show advertising to the user who looked at the goods in the online store, but did not buy anything, or to offer complementary products to those who have already ordered from you.

The peculiarity of the technology is that banners are created automatically based on ad templates: information about products or services is loaded from the product feed.

Connect dynamic remarketing: install the special counter code Top.Mail.Ru on your website, download the product feed and set up an advertising campaign. When users view the pages of your site, the counter will transmit data about their actions to myTarget. Based on the data received, myTarget will display advertisements to these users.

For dynamic remarketing, you can use the following formats.

Multiformat placement — combines many different types of banners displayed on stationary and mobile devices, in the form of teasers and banners in the social networks feeds.
Platforms: social networks Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte and My.Mail.Ru; Mail.ru services; Mail.ru advertising network.

Product Banners (banners 240x400, 300x300 and 500x200 format) are displayed on stationary devices, support the display of one, two or four feed products for one banner display with a customizable appearance.
Platforms: Odnoklassniki and My.Mail.Ru social networks; mail and Mail.ru services.

Carousel — the banner is displayed on stationary and mobile devices in the social networks feed; it contains up to six feed products per show.
Platforms: social network Odnoklassniki and Vkontakte.

To run a dynamic remarketing campaign:

1. If you advertise products on the site, create a Top.Mail.Ru counter or add an existing one.

When creating the code, do not forget to tick the "Use code for dynamic remarketing" checkbox, and then write the events you want to monitor in the code. After that, place the counter code on all pages of the site.

If you have a mobile application, set up dynamic remarketing based on mobile events.

2. Create and upload a product feed.

A product feed is a file with information about your products or services: product name, price, links to images, etc. Based on it, the system will automatically create banners.

3. Check the status of feed and data.

Make sure that the dynamic remarketing data comes from your site and that the product feed contains no errors. Click on the tab "Audiences" → "Product feeds". If the status icon is green, then the data for dynamic remarketing is received, and the feed is error free. If the icon is red, when you hover over it, a tooltip appears with a description of the errors.

4. Set up an audience segment.

A segment based on the product feed is automatically created. It includes all users who interacted with products from the feed in any way within 365 days after adding the feed and installing the dynamic remarketing code.

You can create a segment manually. To do this, go to the "Audiences" tab → "List of segments" → "Add audience segments". In the window that appears, select "Product Feeds" and check the feed you want to create a segment based on. You can only add users to a segment who:

• Performed any action on the feed
• Viewed products from the feed, but did not add to the cart
• Added to cart but not purchased
• Bought products from the feed

You can also change the period for which actions are taken into account, for example, specify "from 0 to 30 days" - in this case, only users who interacted with the feed during the month will fall into the segment.

5. Set up an advertising campaign and advertisements.

The dynamic remarketing function available on request: send a request to the support service support_target@corp.my.com. When your application is approved, set up your ads. Create a banner template: set the appearance, upload images, specify the title and text for the ad. You can also use macros for templates.

Macros are automatically replaced with values from the feed items when an ad is displayed. Use macros so that the text placed on the banner contains individual information about the products.

Available macros for use in ad templates:

• {{product.typePrefix}} — replaced by the value of the item "typePrefix" — product type;
  
  
• {{product.vendor}} — replaced by the value of the item "vendor" — manufacturer name;
  
  
• {{product.model}} — replaced by the value of the item "model" — product model;
  
  
• {{product.name}} — replaced by the value of the item "name" — product name;
  
  
• {{product.price}} — replaced by the value of the item "price" — product price (the currency symbol is added to the price automatically, depending on the value set for the product in the element "currencyId"). It is added automatically by the system to the dynamic ads banner and product banners and dynamic remarketing banner.
  
  
• {{product.oldprice}} — replaced by the value of the item "oldprice" — product price without a discount (the discount will be calculated automatically based on the difference of the values of the elements "price" и "oldprice", and displayed on the banner). It is added automatically by the system to the dynamic ads banner and product banners and dynamic remarketing banner.
  
  
• {{product.description}} — replaced by the value of the item "description" — arbitrary description of the product, its properties or features of the offer.
  
  

When using macros in the fields of an ad template that have a limit on the number of characters, you should not completely fill in the field before the restriction. If after replacing macros with values from the feed fields the total text length for the field exceeds the limit, the text will be automatically reduced with ellipsis.

If there is no value in the feed for the macro used in the template, the macro is ignored (replaced with an empty value).

Campaigns using Google feeds should use the same macros as for the standard myTarget feed.

For convenience, use the myTarget macros mapping table to the specific Google feed items that you want to display in the banner ad.
