Within our framework we incorporate a questionnaire designed to inquire about their preferences and needs;

  • Do you own a home?
  • How much sun does your roof get?
  • What is your average electric bill?
  • What is your credit score?

This data is useful, for identifying customers and enables your sales team to pursue them.

Leveraging Third-Party Audiences

One of the tactics we employed involved focusing on audiences beyond our own reach. We collaborated with data suppliers such, as Epsilon to refine our audience selection criteria using credit ratings and purchase intent. This approach led to a decrease in our lead acquisition expenses, from $11 to $ ̶f̶i̶v̶e̶ $ $ ̵$̵ five while upholding the caliber of leads generated.

How to Set Up Third-Party Targeting

To create a targeted audience:

  1. Select attributes such as credit scores and home values.
  2. Deliver the audience to your ad account.
  3. Run ads specifically targeting this audience.

This approach guarantees that your advertisements will be displayed exclusively to people who're more inclined to make a purchase decision and thus optimize your return, on investment (ROI).
