retargeting, audience marketing, targeted paid placement marketing, prompted re-engagement, “Google/Alexa/My Phone is listening to me”

It’s almost impossible to avoid some kind of retargeted marketing in our day-to-day lives but while you probably, as a marketer, understand that you are being ‘stalked around the internet’ you may not know exactly how it’s being done – or how effective it can be!

What is ReMarketing?

Remarketing is the art of reengaging with your target audience through display or text advertising after they have already visited your website.  This advertising is available over a number of platforms and networks such as Facebook, YouTube and across various websites often via the Google Display Network or another network.

Of course, none of this is free, it (normally) falls under the same cost per click (CPC) model as paid search marketing or a pay per view model, but over the last few years remarketing has consistently demonstrated high levels of ROI for businesses due to the re-engagement element.

There is nothing wrong with giving someone a little nudge once in a while to say ‘Remember us? we’ve still got that thing you wanted. why not come back and get it?’
