A large retailer is running a consideration campaign for one of their promotions. They are using a customer list for targeting, but they are not reaching CTR benchmarks. What optimization strategy can improve performance? (select one)

The selected answer is correct because Pinterest Performance+ targeting utilizes automated machine learning to expand an ad’s reach beyond the constraints of a specific customer list, identifying new high-intent users who are likely to engage with the promotion. While a customer list is effective for retargeting known shoppers, it can often be too narrow to achieve broad CTR benchmarks if the audience size is small or the users have already seen the creative; by enabling Performance+ targeting, the system looks at real-time Pinner signals and interests to find additional users whose behavior mirrors that of the retailer's best customers. This automated optimization broadens the pool of potential clickers, allowing the algorithm to serve ads to users most likely to interact with the content, thereby lifting the overall click-through rate of the consideration campaign.
