No but plenty of companies have free tiers, trial periods or other models of monetisation post acquisition.

Yes and they market the premium version to you using those channels after signing up.

A bit obtuse. If you receive a phone call or email from mybroadband directly asking you to participate in a conference are you more likely to interact with it or a generic advert on Twitter that you may or may not see?

A bit no source.

The customer relationship only exists post acquisition. You don't invest in social media advertising to maintain or foster that relationship.

Citation or gtfo because you're delusional if you think companies don't spend serious money on remarketing across channels.

This guy would have you believe Takealot doesn't remarket products you've interacted with to you on social media or sales like Black Friday on there for that matter because you're an existing customer. What a clown!

So you're arguing that its cheaper and more effective for Spotify to advertise spotify premium on a third party platform / social media than it is directly to their acquired customer either via app notifications or direct email or telephone? Makes total sense (sarcasm).

No need to cite a source, it's common sense.

Investing in your existing customer base is cheaper and more effective directly. Go ask your shopify consultant if it's better to purchase ads on facebook to advertise to your customers or directly.

Edit: Remarketing is usually those who may visit your site but may not complete the desired action - ie. signing up as a customer.

Lol, this guy.

Since the odds of selling to a current customer are 60% to 70%, according to eConsultancy, and the odds of selling to a new customer are 5% to 20%, investing your resources in selling more to your existing customer base is the key. In most cases, it’s far easier to sell to existing customers than it is to invest in acquiring new customers.

Do you math cause you do know you can do both right? Your stupid argument is because it's cheaper to direct market it's the only channel being used. Please tell Takealot this.

So you'd rather pay facebook for a generic advert that may or may not reach your customer than reaching out directly via your own website, newsletter, personal email, sales call?

Your strawman. They aren't mutually exclusive genius.

Reverting to name calling and strawman assertions. Thanks for the discussion.

This from the guy who said I'm a bit obtuse. Show me where I said they're mutually exclusive as you're now asserting?

Your definition of remarketing is also too narrow as you definitely can remarket to your existing clients.



Tell Takealot to stop remarketing to their own clients.

I didn't say he was clueless or not. It's a discussion forum.
You might not have said it directly, but that is what you implied - me more clever than stupid Elon.
What you have however successfully managed to do is to reveal that you are clueless.

Not only Elon but also the experts he consults.

No I didn't say it. Criticism or expressing an opinion is just that - nothing more. Everything else is all in your head.

You use your own platform and others to advertise on.

Remarketing - Remarketing is the practice of using email marketing campaigns to re-engage with customers who may have already purchased a product or service from the company.

Retargeting - This strategy involves targeting an audience that has already visited a site or shown interest in a brand's products. These customers have engaged with a product or service in some way but have not completed the sale. Typically, third-party ad placement services use the cookies stored in visitors’ browsers to determine the ads they see when they visit the site again. Visitors might see pop-up ads or banners at the top or sides of the page.
