The hardest part of business is not usually envisioning where you want to be, it’s implementing a plan of action in logical and effective steps in order to get there. When we’re making plans, these steps will inevitably include a Deep Learning powered retargeting campaign, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Instead, Let’s start with a simple statement:
“We want to increase online sales”.

There are many ways that you might do, such as; improving your online store’s UI and UX, increasing product range, and running promotions. However, the most likely solution is digital ad campaigns. So, you can add focus to your original statement by saying:
“We need to run digital ad campaigns to increase online sales”.

Many companies make a couple of missteps at this point by trying to skip to the end or doing things out of sequence. Here’s a simple breakdown of the questions you need to ask… and the order in which you ask them while evaluating your advertising model options.

Multiple retargeting means running two or more retargeting vendors simultaneously against the same pool of site visitors. Because each vendor uses different algorithms to evaluate user intent, they identify different high-value opportunities within the same audience. The result: more conversions, without proportionally increasing your budget. The biggest objections—overlap, bid inflation, added complexity—don't hold up under scrutiny. The data consistently favors a stack approach.

Is it worth reaching users that have already visited our website but didn’t buy anything? Of course! In the case of those consumers, there is still a way to convert them into buyers, but you need to take matters into your own hands. With retargeting, you don’t have to wait for them to come back. You can attract them to your app or mobile website yourself, by providing them with a personalized offer adequate to their needs while they are using their mobile devices – such an advertising technique is called mobile retargeting.
