How to Launch a Custom Campaign
Our Who's Shopping feature lets you find out which businesses are actively researching your products or services online. These leads already understand the value of your products- that's half the battle right there. To get the most out of this powerful prospecting tool, you should be regularly launching shopping campaigns.
What Is a Shopping Campaign?
Visual Visitor lets you launch two different kinds of shopping campaigns.
Our Prebuilt Campaigns are equipped with pre-set keywords. These campaigns, while less specific, are designed with your industry and ideal customer profile in mind. You can monitor your campaign data on the Keyword Summary page.
Custom Campaigns allow you to input your own keywords. These campaigns are designed and managed by you. On the Keyword Summary page, you can add new keywords and delete the ones that aren't pulling their weight.
How Does a Shopping Campaign Work?
When you set up a new campaign, crawlers scour the web looking for companies who are leaving behind relevant digital footprints. Basically, each time a business engages with one of your keywords or visits a competitor site our software will take notice and collect data.
- You can monitor your campaign performance on the Keyword Summary page.
- You can see a snapshot of your campaign data on your Dashboard.
- You can find an in-depth profile of your leads on the Leads page.
