Remarketing & retargeting
The Remarketing & Retargeting Development Stage begins by understanding the client’s objectives for this specific advertising approach, such as recovering abandoned carts or increasing conversions from previous website visitors or past customers.
The next step involves audience segmentation, where specific groups are identified for retargeting, such as users who visited particular product pages, added items to the cart, or previously interacted with ads or content.
