Retargeting generates greater online sales by keeping your brand front and centre and bringing “window shoppers” back when they’re ready to buy. Every time your customer sees your retargeting ads, your brand gains traction and more recognition. The high click-through rates and increased conversions that are typical with retargeting campaigns underscore the value of good branding and repeated exposure.
Retargeting is most effective if you segment your visitors (eg, people who looked at shoes vs. trousers) and tailor the retargeting ads shown to each group, or not retarget them at all (e.g. people who converted.) The best performing retargeting creative has a clear call-to-action and promotes an offer. Different products warrant different retargeting time windows. E.g. people shopping for travel should be retargeted immediately; people shopping for luxury goods should be retargeted later.
