The Importance Of Retargeting Banner Advertising

By Jeff Steiner


Retargeting banner advertising is the procedure of bonding online businesses with individuals who had visited the sites in the past so that these individuals can be able to complete an action of purchasing after viewing the ad. The online companies anonymously observe online users behaviors when they are on that particular webpage and after they leave the web page, they are given messages concerning the products that they were viewing on that web page.

How this strategy works is that when a person visits a web page and some form of activity by them is noted through monitoring, after they leave the web page and visit other web pages, ads that were in the previous web page pop up and thus the person is reminded of the products or the services they saw. When these ads keep appearing every time they visit the internet, this increases the chances of them performing an action of purchase.

All businesses can benefit from this marketing strategy. However, e commerce businesses are the ones that can fully utilize this strategy since they attract more than five thousand monthly visitors to their sites. These businesses therefore need to convert all their visitors into active customers. These individuals can therefore purchase a product, subscribe to a service, register on a website among others.

There are many benefits to this secondary marketing strategy. To begin with, this form of marketing reinforces intent. This strategy only applies when an individual has already visited a particular site, thus they have expressed an interest in the products and services that are being offered. Therefore this adverts remind the individuals about products and services that they have already seen before and are being lured into a call of action.

A cookie, which is a message that is offered by a web browser and is stored in form of a text file is always attached to an individuals browser and this cookie can always be recognized when someone is on a different browser and thus can still be able to view ads of products and services and can even be able to make purchases.

The second advantage is that the brand awareness is increased which is key to any business. Increased brand awareness in this marketing strategy is achieved by ensuring that the product or service is made visible to potential customers. Create stories for a product brand so that people can identify with it and stories will be retained in the minds of the individuals.

Lastly, this marketing strategy is used as a secondary strategy as it complements the primary marketing strategies. This strategy is encompassed in the main advertising campaign and it segments its target audience as it only identifies online users who have visited their sites and have therefore shown interest in the products and services that the company has to offer.

Retargeting banner advertising is being used by so many e commerce businesses and professional companies implement this strategy at a fee that is determined by that company.
