HOW RETARGETING WORKS
When someone visits your website, enters a geofenced location or searches for a specific keyword, they receive reminder ads to take your desired action wherever they go online. Instead of a cold introduction, it’s a warm reminder — nudging them back toward the finish line.

What Exactly Are Retargeting Ads?
These display ads get delivered to those who have already shown interest in your brand, encouraging them to return and complete the desired action. This could be completing a sale, calling, or filling out an online form.
Retargeting ads will populate immediately after being triggered by the user’s behavior and be shown wherever they go, including other websites, streaming TV, social media platforms and on apps.
Why Retargeting Matters
It takes an average of 7 touchpoints to turn a cold lead into a customer. Retargeting shortens that gap by keeping your brand top of mind.
It dramatically improves ROI. You’re marketing to an audience already familiar with you — meaning lower costs and higher conversion rates
People are busy. Many customers want to complete your "call to action" but may not be in a position to do so. A simple follow up can make all the difference.
You wouldn’t let an interested client slip away without a follow up — so why would you online?
