Many people mistakenly think that “retargeting” means starting over and question why anyone would want to start over from scratch every time someone visits their website without taking any action.
But ironically, retargeting is a marketing practice that saves you from doing that very thing. It’s the tactic of targeting a visitor who showed some interest in your products or services by first visiting your site. And rather than trying to appeal to first-time visitors who may or may not convert to customers, retargeting strives to get repeat visitors who are more likely to purchase your products or services.
Retargeting benefits for your business
Generate additional sales: Different companies use different metrics depending on what type of industry or business they are running, but every business that plans to stay in business must pay close attention to revenue.
Reach more interested prospects: This strategy helps you reach interested prospects, instead of members of your target audience who are more likely to remain in the “interested” phase.
Escalate brand awareness: Retargeting can reduce the amount of time it takes to boost your brand awareness and entice prospects to make a purchase. Even if they choose not to convert immediately, you’re increasing the odds that your brand will be the first one they remember when they decide to make a purchase.
Gain deeper insights: The analytics of your previous and current retargeting campaigns are the roadmap for your future efforts so over time you can refocus your digital marketing efforts to boost your results.
Enhance cost effectiveness: When you retarget, you are reaching people who have already visited your website at least once, and who are that much closer to making a purchase.
The success of retargeting becomes obvious once the reasoning of the benefits have been presented. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that retargeting has been around for quite a while, so there are plenty of robust numbers to reinforce the claims. Retargeting will only get more and more effective as technology progresses, so you’d be wise to get on board now!
