E-Commerce Retargeting Services

Retargeting is the process of serving ads, which are based on a prior engagement. The technology includes  site-based retargeting (the most frequently used), email retargeting, search retargeting, and CRM retargeting. With site-based retargeting your customers are shown ads of your brand after they leave your e-commerce store. Thus, your brand always appears in front of your bounced site visitors.

The process of site-based retargeting relies on cookies. When someone visits your e-commerce store, your retargeter drops an anonymous browser cookie – a small file with the information about your site visit and without visitor’s personal data. Then the cookie is used by your retargeter to identify when your bounced visitors appear on other sites.

The next stage of site-based retargeting includes bidding for the available ad space. This process takes place in real-time, and if your bid is the highest, the ad space displays your advertisement. These processes occur automatically during the page loads.
