What is retargeting and how does it work?
A person, under the influence of many factors, may not email data perform the target action (forgot, was distracted, changed his mind, did not like the price, etc.). For such cases, a marketing strategy was created – retargeting. In simple terms, it is based on the idea of re-appealing to potential clients who have already shown interest in a product or service.
How does it work? When a user visits your site or interacts with your advertising materials, information about them is recorded using a tracking pixel or cookie.
Using this information, you can show personalized ads to this user on other platforms, such as social networks or partner sites.
