As a digital marketer, what is one of the biggest challenges that you face? For us, it’s getting website visitors to convert into customers. After all, we could have designed the most beautiful website and have a great product or service, but if we can’t persuade people to take action, we’re not going to see the results we’re looking for.
Well, that’s where retargeting comes in. Retargeting is a form of online advertising that allows you to show ads to people who have already interacted with your brand in some way, be it by visiting your website, engaging with your social media posts, or signing up for your email list.
What makes retargeting so effective? The most obvious reason is that it is aimed at reaching people who have already expressed some interest in your offering. Even if it makes that they merely visited your website, or added something to their cart but didn’t complete the checkout process.
Retargeting shows your ad to the people who may be interested in your product or service as they are in sync with their interests and needs, making them more likely to come back and complete the conversion process. In fact, the retargeting panjandrum, AdRoll, published a case study showcasing the effectiveness of personalized retargeting for a fashion e-commerce company that demonstrated an increase of 162% in conversion rate… just by studying user behavior.
So the question that follows is… who should you be retargeting? Well… The short answer is anyone who has interacted with your brand in some way. This could include people who have visited your website, engaged with your social media posts, or signed up for your email list.
What is equally important to remember is that not all visitors to your website are likely to get converted. Some may have just stumbled upon your site and aren’t really interested in what you have to offer. One must actively identify and focus on the people who are most likely to convert.
Analyzing data to understand user behavior and then segmenting your audience accordingly cannot be stressed enough. You could create a retargeting campaign that targets people who have added something to their cart but didn’t complete the checkout process. Or you could create a campaign that targets people who have visited specific pages on your website that are closely related to your products or services.
When it comes to creating ads for your retargeting campaigns, this is the cheat sheet.
First. Make sure that your ads are relevant and engaging. This means using visuals and copy that are compelling to your target audience.
Imagine you run an Indian clothing brand called “EthnicWear India,” specializing in traditional attire for special occasions. Your retargeting ad could display a gorgeous embroidered saree, showcasing its intricate details and vibrant colors. To entice the user, you can offer a limited-time discount and add a call-to-action, such as “Don’t Miss Out! Get 10% Off on Your Dream Saree Today!
Next is the format of the retargeting campaign. You have the option of choosing from, static ads, dynamic ads, and video ads, among others.
Our personal favorite is Dynamic ads. Simply because they are a great way to personalize retargeting campaigns. Remember admiring the Golden Hour. And Voila! They are everywhere now. Their dynamic ad is omnipresent, tailored just for you. Oh, there is an exclusive discount of 20% too. Oh Nike, you dunnit now! That is a master class in a dynamic advertisement.
Moving from one giant to the next… Facebook and Google are two of the most popular channel options. Facebook, in particular, offers a variety of retargeting options. It allows the user to create custom audiences based on website visitors and engagement on the platform. Google, on the other hand, offers retargeting options through its Display Network and search ads.
So how to ensure that your retargeting campaigns are successful? There are a few things to keep in mind.
First. Crush your message and target like a boss.
you’ll want to make sure that your message and the target audience are clear. This means using data to understand consumer behavior and segmenting your audience accordingly.
Second. Serve up eye-catching ads that slay.

Finally. Track, tweak, and conquer those campaigns for epic wins.
You’ll have to be vigilant in tracking your results and optimize your campaigns accordingly. This means using tools like Google Analytics or Facebook Ads Manager to track your conversions and adjust your campaigns based on what’s working and what’s not.
