Question: Paulo is an advertiser whose company recently released a new mic stand that is designed to hold microphones that the company manufactures. He wants to focus this campaign on past microphone purchasers. Which audience combination would you recommend Paulo use to reach relevant audiences for his campaign?
- Audiences based on microphone purchases
- Lookalike audiences of previous microphones
- Lifestyle audiences: musical equipment
Explanation
Past purchase audiences are appropriate when the goal is to reach shoppers who previously bought related products. A mic stand is a complementary product, so prior microphone purchase behavior signals strong relevance. This audience selection connects the campaign to customers with demonstrated category need. It supports efficient targeting by using shopping activity rather than broad interest signals.
Why the other options are incorrect
Lookalike audiences are broader expansion audiences and do not directly focus on known past purchasers.
Lifestyle audiences reflect broader interests and behaviors, not specific purchase history for a related product.
