Summarize this article with:

Retargeting, also called remarketing, is an online advertising technique to increase your conversion rate . This is a strategy taken from the rule of 7 . Therefore, your advertising message must appear 7 times before your prospects' eyes to encourage them to purchase. Concretely, if a person visited your site and showed interest in your offers, but ultimately did not purchase anything, you need to do retargeting so that they pull the trigger. In this article, discover the basics of retargeting.

Types of retargeting

Retargeting is a method that involves intelligently displaying your ad to audiences who have already visited your page to encourage them to buy. It's your second chance to convert them into customers. For example, a prospect visits your site and clicks on several products to see the price and details. They seem interested but ultimately don't add anything to their cart. A few moments later, they see the same product again in their recommendations and return to your site to buy . This is the practice we call retargeting.

There are two remarketing strategies to get your customers to take action.

Static retargeting

In static retargeting, the marketer creates fixed banners for each page visited by the prospect . Here, they will offer similar products, discount offers with promo codes, or simply the last product viewed.

Dynamic retargeting

With dynamic retargeting, we go further. The marketer notes target preferences and creates personalized announcements to maximize the chances of sales. It starts from the principle of omnicinal of the purchasing process. So, if a customer consults your Facebook page, it may be tempted to visit your website. Once on it, he can find a more telling banner depending on what recently interested him.

On which platform can we do retargeting?

Retargeting is a multi -channel . You have the possibility of doing it on any platform: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube or simply on Google. Here, the objective is to offer the customer to return to your page to finalize the purchase .

Retargeting: how does it work?

Your offer must appear at the right time to reach predefined targets. The broadcast must stop as soon as the person has purchased. Follow the following steps.

Step 1: Set campaign objectives 

Before launching the campaign, you must have objectives like: 

  • generate more leads, 
  • to increase the sales, 
  • have more visibility , notoriety, etc.

Step 2: Identify the audience to (re)target

Refine your target audience to retargeting costs and increase conversion rates. Ideally, tailor your ads based on what you know about the prospect. Most marketers target people who visited their website for a few minutes or those who abandoned their shopping cart . Others also target those who visited multiple pages.

Step 3: Set up a compelling offer

Whether you choose static or dynamic retargeting, your offer must be compelling to close a sale. It should remind the prospect of their love for your product or present complementary products. Choose your keywords carefully to maximize the effectiveness of your retargeting on search engines.

Use the sense of urgency to avoid long thoughts. Be careful, make sure that your target is not overwhelmed by your ads. Avoid making your audience easily tire of your product . We recommend that you limit the broadcast frequency to 15 or 20 ads per month.

Step 4: Develop your advertising retargeting strategy

Choose the ideal communication channel for your retargeting and make a price comparison to minimize your advertising costs and make your investment profitable .

Step 5: Launch the retargeting campaign

Now you just have to launch your retargeting campaign and hope to have the conversion rate .

Step 6: Measure the performance of your strategy 

Do not forget to follow up on your remarketing campaign to find out when refresh your offer . In fact, you will need to offer a varied selection of advertising to avoid pouring your targets.
