Social Audience Extension

How do you stay top of mind with the decision-makers you’re targeting until they’re ready to buy?

Petfood Industry can widen your advertising reach by using a retargeting campaign called Social Audience Extension. Retargeting people who visit your website is a valuable content marketing tactic for your communications team to leverage and get results.

Petfood Industry balances the social network landscape through leveraging of our unique proprietary data to target a hard to reach niche pet food audience. We help you target the right decision makers on Facebook and LinkedIn. Though LinkedIn offers a more professionally focused audience, Petfood Industry's Facebook ads have been just as successful. Why? Facebook helps you scale-up for an impactful outreach. People generally spend more time on Facebook than they do on LinkedIn, which boosts both reach and frequency, increasing clicks back to your communication or landing page.

Either way, we've got you covered and can help you minimize budget waste and maximize audience reach via Petfood Industry social media channels.

‍How it works

Our sales managers can help you pick a platform, or you can try both
Next, a targeted set of buyers and influencers are selected from our audience database of more than 73,700 pet food industry professionals from around the world
Then, our team executes the campaign on selected channels targeting the anonymous site visitors of either PetfoodIndustry.com and your customized list of professionals
At the conclusion of your program, you receive an executive summary of easy-to-understand metrics for each channel including the number of clicks, impressions and views
