Retargeting

What is Retargeting?

Retargeting is a form of online advertising that targets users who have previously interacted with your website or app but did not complete a desired action (such as making a purchase or signing up). Retargeting ads are shown to these users to encourage them to return and complete the action.

An Example to Understand Retargeting

A user visits an e-commerce website and views a product but leaves without purchasing. Later, they see an ad for that same product while browsing other websites. This is retargeting, reminding the user of their initial interest.

Benefits of Using Retargeting

• Increases Conversion Rates: Retargeting reminds users about your product, encouraging them to return and complete the purchase.
• Improves ROI: By focusing on users who have already shown interest, retargeting is a cost-effective way to maximize marketing spend.
• Enhances Brand Recall: Consistently reminding users about your product keeps your brand top of mind.

Why is Retargeting Important for Startups and SaaS?

For startups and SaaS companies, retargeting helps recover potentially lost leads by re-engaging users who have shown interest but haven’t converted. It’s a key tactic for improving conversion rates and maximizing customer acquisition efforts.
