Question: Paulo's company just launched a new mic stand. It's designed to work with their existing microphones. He wants to reach past microphone purchasers in his campaign. Which audience combination would best reach these relevant customers?
- Audiences based on microphone purchases
- Lookalike audiences of previous microphones
- Lifestyle audiences: musical equipment
Explanation
Audiences from purchases are based on customers who previously bought a product or related product. Past microphone purchasers are relevant because a mic stand is a complementary product. This audience supports cross-sell strategy by reaching shoppers with confirmed need in the same product ecosystem. Purchase-based targeting is stronger for this use case than broad interest or modeled similarity.
Why the other options are incorrect
Lookalike audiences reach shoppers similar to a source audience, but they do not directly focus on known past purchasers.
Lifestyle audiences reflect broad interest in musical equipment, not confirmed microphone purchase behavior.
