Retargeting
Also known as: Remarketing
Retargeting is showing ads to people who have already visited your site or engaged with your brand, bringing them back to complete an action.
Most first-time visitors don't convert. Retargeting keeps your brand in front of those warm prospects as they browse other sites and apps, nudging them back at the moment they're ready — typically at a much lower cost per conversion than cold prospecting.
It works by tagging visitors (via a pixel or audience list) and then segmenting them by behaviour: cart abandoners, product viewers, or past customers each get a tailored message.
Used well it's highly efficient; used carelessly it becomes intrusive. Frequency caps and burn-out windows keep retargeting effective without annoying the audience.
