    Overview:

    App Remarketing, or Retargeting as it is commonly called, is a process through which you engage existing users in your app. Most popularly it is helpful in marketing your app on social media which isn’t possible through push notifications, emails or in-app messages. The best part is that like other campaigns Remarketing is also done based on events. For example, in insurance you could target users with Remarketing on Facebook whose renewal date is closer. Unlike other campaigns which focus on engagement or acquisition, Remarketing aims for re-rengagement and conversions.

    Conversions:

    Conversions can be tracked based on events after your ad starts running on Facebook. Users who, as a result of Facebook ad, come back on your app to do a particular event are tracked and counted as re-engaged and conversion is based on that particular event. Events can be set as per your choice to track the effectiveness and coversions in the campaigns.
