Retargeting explained

Most visitors leave on a first visit without becoming customers; that is normal. Retargeting reminds them later so they return.

How it works

A measurement code on your site marks the visitor at browser level. Later, when that person browses another site or social media, they see an ad from you.

When it helps

  • In long decision processes: yacht charter, villas, wedding venues
  • In stores with abandoned carts; see cart abandonment
  • For people who showed interest before the season but did not book

Good practice

  1. Split the audience: A different message for those who viewed a product page and those who only visited the home page.
  2. Limit frequency: Too much repetition annoys.
  3. Set a time window: Show while interest is fresh.
  4. Offer value: A discount, extra information or reviews.

Tell visitors about the measurement code in line with personal data and cookie rules; get consent where needed. See cookie and privacy texts in the web design process.
