ADVANCED retargeting

For E-commerce businesses you may wish to EXCLUDE certain people your retargeting audience (for example, if you are retargeting Abandoned Baskets with a special discount that you do not want people who have already purchased to see)

  • Follow the steps as above for who you want to include

  • Instead of selecting ‘Include more people’ – instead you want to click Exclude (so by doing this, you are telling Facebook to include the people in the first step, but exclude the people in this section)

  • Select the URL of the page you wish to exclude OR exclude based on Events (such as Purchases) this will exclude the people who have been tracked by your Pixel as having made a purchase already.
