Half of digital advertisers plan to

increase their spend on audience

targeting this year.

5. In-Market Audiences

Predictive intelligence delivers lists of users who are ready to buy

Bing Ads predictive intelligence identifies users who have shown purchase intent signals within a particular category, including searches and clicks on Bing and page views on Microsoft services.


*Source: Microsoft internal data; pilot performance data from verticals including Travel, Autos and Financial Services using

“Bid Only” targeting on Bing Owned & Operated traffic, July 2017. CTR is click-through rate, and CVR is conversion ratio.

The Client:

Vegas.com is an online travel agency located in Las Vegas,

NV and specializes in hotels, show tickets, air+hotel

packages, and tours.

The Objective:

To incrementally boost their conversion and revenue

numbers while maintaining relative efficiency.

The Results:

5. In-Market Audiences“I’m new to remarketing — help me layer in audience targeting solutions quickly and easily.”

Easy to get up and running in 5 minutes or less.

No need for you to build your own remarketing list.

No prerequisites to get started, like website tagging.

Easy to report on performance and compare with campaigns not using In-market Audiences.

5. In-Market AudiencesGet creative with layering


•In-Market Audiences for Search is really exciting, we don’t even have this feature in Google.

•Get creative with layering In-Market audiences:• Make assumptions.

• If someone is In-Market for a home mortgage, it may be wise to reach out to them if you’re a Home Goods Retailer, a landscaper, sell homeowners insurance…

Bonus: Cross-Channel Audience Lists

What are they?Audience lists from other marketing channels such as social, SEO, loyalty programs, video or chat experiences, etc.

Why are they important?You know how much your visitors are worth to you – why not get another opportunity to convert, upsell, or bid more aggressively on.


5 Examples of additional marketing channel lists:

1. Facebook

2. AdWords

3. Affiliate

4. Organic or direct

5. Mailers – mail with a URL (offline to online)

Bonus: Membership Duration-Based Lists

What are they?We can create multiple lists targeting the same action but staggering the membership duration for highest impact.

Why are they important?Maximize the CTA at the appropriate time. Depending on when the user completed the action the advertiser will want to serve unique ad copy, landing pages, and adjust bids accordingly.


4 Examples of additional marketing channel lists:1. Free Trial engagement/Expiring promotion

2. Higher value item, longer membership duration

3. Avoid ad fatigue

4. Curate your lists based on your booking funnel


Key Qs to ask:

What is the length of your typical purchase journey?

Is there a specific timing window you need to reach consumers?

How long do consumers spend researching before purchasing?

How frequently do visitors return to your website during the purchase journey?
