Beginner’s Guide to Retargeting Ads
Approximately 96% of visitors who come to your website are not ready to buy. Which means that you’ll be lucky to persuade around the remaining 4% of your website traffic to buy what you’re offering the first time they visit your website.
That’s a large percentage of visitors that you’re missing out on. But there is a strategy you can utilise to bring back your past website visitors – run retargeting campaigns.
The Reality of Website Visitors
We’d all like to think that every person that comes into contact with our business goes directly down the path of making a purchase with no bumps in the road. Someone visits your website, signs up to your mailers, then becomes interested and requests a chat, all in just one website session. Before you know it, the lead becomes a paying customer.
In reality, the buyer’s journey is much longer and complex. People come and go to your website. Sometimes they just come to check out your latest blog post. Other times they complete a signup form, and some might not return at all.
It’s vital that businesses do everything they can to bring users back to their website and convert. One excellent way to do is through retargeting.
What is Retargeting?
Retargeting is a form of online advertising that delivers ads to people who have already visited your website or are listed as a contact in your data base. Retargeting is the tool designed to help you reach the 96% of users who do not complete a conversion right away.
Retargeting campaigns enable you to target specific visitors with specific ads with the goal of getting them to convert. They’re effective campaigns because they allow you to display your ad to visitors who have already shown an interest in your brand (by visiting your website). You can remind them why you’re the brand to do business with and why your products and services are the best solution.
