Retargeting your website visitors with paid ads


What is it?

Retargeting enables you to remind your customers of your products and services after they leave your website without buying. It allows you to show your visitors relevant ads when they visit other sites. Retargeting works with apps and search as well as website banner ads. Serious marketers today use retargeting as a vital tool to connect with their customers and increase their sales.

The easiest way to leverage the Mere Exposure effect is by retargeting website visitors with digital paid ads. The retargeting process, depicted below, can be used to collect brand impressions rapidly amongst your website visitors who did not convert.
