Remarketing

Have you recently browsed the web and found yourself on a companies website that interested you? Have you noticed after visiting that site the company was now showing up on every other site you visit? For example, you go to a certain companies site, skip to your Facebook page, next to your favorite news site and everywhere you look you see a banner ad for the company you first visited. This clever way to connect with your website visitors that left without making any sort of conversion is known as remarketing.

Remarketing, also known as retargeting, is a marketing technique that allows you to target visitors that have shown interest in your brand or website, but left without converting. A conversion can range from a purchase, an inquiry about more information, or some other desired action. Remarketing allows you to to keep your brand in front of your online visitors once they have left your site by positioning targeted ads as they browse elsewhere on the web. The overall goal of remarketing is to bring your online visitors back to your site and convert them into a sale.

But what type of remarketing is right for your business? Here are a few examples of the different types of remarketing.
