Can I have some retargeting benefits with that email please?

Do you remember the kid in school that got the piece of tape slapped on his back with the words ‘kick me’ written on it?

He was the one that got picked on hence the ‘kick me’ campaign.

In full transparency, I was victim of this on several occasions until I finally turned around and decked a kid named Jeff Overton for RETARGETING me.

He was trying to steal my snacks…eh! The vermin!

Yes, I was retargeted…old school version.

With that info you can run further ads to that same visitor, massively increasing your awareness and/or conversions because that visitor has seen you before.

It is very powerful.

For now…not in the future.Continue reading
