DIGITAL MARKETING / A PRACTICAL ANSWER
What should be in place before you start retargeting?
The short answer
Before starting retargeting, confirm that the offer, audience rules, permissions, exclusions and landing journey are appropriate. The ability to place a tracking tool is not sufficient. Review the platform's current requirements and the obligations that apply to your audiences with suitable specialists.
What to define
Define which behaviour makes a follow-up relevant and what the creative will add. Decide who should be excluded, including people who completed the intended action where appropriate. Keep data collection proportionate and make ownership of the configuration clear.
How to evaluate it
Check how consent and platform limitations affect the audience and reporting. Do not assume every visitor can or should be reached again. Evaluate the campaign's business contribution with its limitations visible rather than treating repeated exposure as proof of demand.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE / NOT A CLIENT RESULT
Make it concrete.
A visitor who read a service comparison may benefit from a relevant next explanation. Someone who has already registered for an event may need a different message or exclusion, depending on the actual campaign purpose and permissions.
Before you commission
- Define relevant behaviour and exclusions.
- Review current platform and privacy requirements.
- Test the message, destination and measurement boundaries.
