Online advertising isn't about people happily clicking through to your site and making a purchase (or signing up for emails or registering for an event, or doing any of the other things you want them to do). Often, they need to encounter your business multiple times before they convert.
Retargeting your online ads is a smart way to encourage these repeat encounters. Retargeting delivers relevant ads to people who have already visited your site.
