The Retargeting Boomerang

THE BRUTAL REALITY: THE FIRST CLICK IS A LIE

Only 2% of people buy on the first visit. If you aren't retargeting, you are paying full price for "window shoppers" and letting them leave forever.

The Conflict: You think retargeting is "annoying."

The Truth: Retargeting is "Service." You are reminding someone of a solution to a problem they already admitted they have.

The Fix: Build a "Sequenced Retargeting" loop that answers every objection over 7 days.

1. THE OBJECTION KILLER

Your retargeting ads shouldn't just say "Buy Now." They should say: "Here is a testimonial," "Here is why we are better than the other guy," and "Here is our guarantee." Answer the questions they were too afraid to ask.

2. OMNIPRESENCE

If a user visits your site, they should see you on Facebook, then TikTok, then YouTube. This creates an illusion of "Big Brand" status. They think you are everywhere, even if you are only spending $5 a day.

SMART WORDS

RETARGETING

Showing ads to people who have already interacted with your brand.

CUSTOM AUDIENCE

A group of people you've "tagged" (e.g., website visitors, video viewers).

DPA (Dynamic Product Ads)

Ads that automatically show the exact product someone looked at on your site.

TACTICAL DIRECTIVES

1. The Cart Abandoner Ad: Create an ad specifically for people who "Added to Cart" but didn't buy. Offer a small bonus.

2. Social Proof Sequence: Set up a retargeting ad that only shows customer reviews.

3. Frequency Cap: Set your retargeting frequency to 2-3 per day. Don't stalk them into hating you.
