What is retargeting?

Retargeting is a marketing strategy that entails offering banner ads to your target audience. These banner advertisements are made to be seen by your target market after they have seen your business’s site.

Retargeting only works if you have an unique fragment of code on your site enabling it. In this manner, at any time someone brows through your website, a confidential internet browser cookie will drop, generally marking site
visitors as having visited your web site.

How is this different than regular display ad buys?
With retargeting you only target users that have visited your site and already had an experience with your brand. You can choose to target users that went to a specific part of your site, or open it up to your whole site, but either way you are guaranteeing that you only spend ad dollars on people who have previously visited your site. Normal display media buys tend to target users in the first stages of the buying funnel. With those ad buys you are tasked with introducing yourself, establishing trust, branding effectively, etc. all while going after an action.>https://moz.com/blog/retargeting-basics-what-it-is-how-to-use-it

From there, whenever your site visitor clicks on another website (also one absolutely unconnected to yours), your retargeting advertisement service supplier will know to show your banner advertisement to them.

Second Chance To Convert A Visitor

What makes retargeting especially powerful is the fact that it only targets users that have visited one of your websites or landing pages. This means these visitors have already been exposed to your brand and very likely your product or service. As a result, these visitors are more qualified and likely to be persuaded by continued marketing.

If the majority of your traffic is made up of one-time visitors, paid or organic, that would have otherwise gotten away, retargeting allows you to continue marketing to those visitors to get them back into the conversion funnel.

Take, for example, a PPC search campaign, where an advertiser is bidding on a high-cost vertical like mortgage or insurance. When the visitor clicks the ad, the advertiser gets charged and is given basically one chance at converting that visitor.

How does retargeting work?

Technically, all you have to do is put a JavaScript tag in the footer of your internet site. This code develops a checklist of individuals who see your site by positioning confidential retargeting "cookies" in their internet browsers. The listing permits AdRoll (or various other retargeting vendors) to display retargeting ads to your possible customers as they see various other sites.
