The type of campaign par excellence with which we can target Facebook and Instagram users are those of “Catalog Sales”. With them, we can get to dynamically customize which products we show which users based on behavior of these.
Through a data feed in which we turn to Facebook with our product catalog and the installation of a tracking pixel on our website, facebook is able to show the user the product(s) in which the user has already shown interest, thus making advertising efforts much more effective (and profitable).
However, these product catalog campaigns aren’t just for dynamic remarketing. In addition, with the information that Facebook has about the user on its platform and that of the products of our catalogs, it is also able to “prospect” new users who do not know our products or our brand and make them discover us users that Facebook’s algorithm determines are more valuable to us.

These ads offer the user a richer experience with which to discover, explore and buy products that is specially optimized for mobile devices; devices from which 43% of users buy online.
