Customer Match for Shopping Campaigns Now in Open Beta

By far, one of the biggest announcements Google made in 2015 was the ability to target lists of users via their email addresses with Customer Match. For the past 9 months, our customers have been ecstatic to apply this targeting to the Gmail, YouTube, and RLSA campaigns, often seeing conversion rates from customer match over 3 times as high as their new search visitors!*

While Customer Match targeting is amazingly powerful, many retailers felt left out of the fun since, previously, Customer Match didn’t extend to shopping campaigns. To their delight, Google announced on Monday that Customer Match for Shopping is now in open beta for all advertisers to test. Savvy advertisers will certainly hop on this opportunity quickly, and we’ve seen in the past that applying remarketing lists for shopping campaigns can boost CTR and CVR by over 400%!**

Advertisers interested in getting early access to Customer Match targeting for their shopping campaigns can opt into the beta here and expect to get access to the new feature shortly. Whether you’re new to managing shopping campaigns or you’ve been doing it forever, targeting on Google is evolving quickly and is sure to help advertisers take their campaigns to new levels in the coming months!
