    Hi there ! thanks for the video, good advices. How would you implement this strategy for a Saas Business a bit like Trello. As we are not selling products what can we retarget to them? thanks !?

      Hey, Nicolas Retargeting for SAAS business is a bit different. There you can create a Custom Audience of Website Visitors and they you can retarget them. If you can tell a bit more about your services like are you selling only one thing or have multiple services then the targeting would be a bit different.
