Why Facebook Stories Are Perfect for Remarketing
With over 500 million people using Facebook Stories daily, they’ve become a key space for brands to re-engage users in a more personal and less crowded environment than the feed.
For remarketing, Facebook Stories offer:
- Full-screen engagement
- High visibility at the top of the app
- A sense of urgency with 24-hour expiration
- Seamless swipe-up CTA for instant action
If you’re not using Stories in your retargeting strategy, you’re leaving conversions on the table.
Step 1: Define Your Warm Audiences
Use Custom Audiences to retarget people who:
- Visited your website
- Viewed specific product pages
- Added items to cart
- Watched your video ads
- Interacted with your Facebook or Instagram profile
You can create these audiences directly in Facebook Ads Manager or track them using tools like Adsspeed for better cross-campaign management.
Step 2: Create Story-Specific Ad Creatives
Stories are vertical and fast-paced. Don’t reuse feed ads.
Design Tips:
- Use 9:16 format
- Keep it visual: minimal text, bold CTA
- Use motion (video or animated text)
- Add urgency: “Ends today!”, “Only 3 left!”
For example:
“Still thinking about those running shoes? They’re almost gone!”
[Swipe up] “Grab your size now”
Use tools like ads check speed to monitor performance in real time and swap creatives as needed.
Step 3: Test Different Retargeting Hooks
Remarketing Stories should feel personal. Here are ideas to test:
- Product reminders: “Still want this?”
- Abandoned cart nudges: “You forgot something…”
- User-generated content: “See how Alex styled our jacket!”
- Social proof: “Over 2,000 happy customers in 2025”
Each hook should match where the viewer is in their buying journey.
Step 4: Add a Clear and Easy CTA
The swipe-up feature is your best friend in Stories.
Use CTAs like:
- “Shop now”
- “Book your seat”
- “Claim your offer”
- “Continue where you left off”
Keep it direct, relevant, and action-oriented.
Step 5: Monitor, Learn, and Iterate
Track these metrics to evaluate your Story remarketing:
- Impression-to-click ratio
- Swipe-ups (link clicks)
- Conversion rate from Story traffic
If you’re managing multiple audiences or campaigns, using a tool like Adsspeed can help you check performance across accounts quickly without logging into each one.
