The Power of Retargeting Campaigns

Retargeting campaigns let you follow up with customers who have visited your website but didn’t take action. Whether they viewed a product, abandoned their cart, or explored your services, retargeting gives you the opportunity to serve them personalized ads that remind them of your brand and encourage them to return.

Imagine your customers seeing the exact product they viewed on your site as they browse the web—nudging them to come back and buy. That’s the power of retargeting.
