How to use Retargeting for Your Online Store

INTRODUCTION

On average, less than 3 percent of e-commerce website visits convert to a sale. Moreover, close to 70 percent of shoppers abandon their carts prior to purchase.

Retargeting (or remarketing) is a powerful way to show ads to people who have already visited your online store. If you are unfamiliar, retargeting ads essentially follow the customer around as they browse other sites. This can help keep your product top-of-mind and hopefully lead to more completed transactions.

How to Set up Retargeting Ads to Market Your Development

INTRODUCTION

In this day and age, digital marketing is essential for reaching potential home buyers or renters in your market; however, a single digital ad campaign is not likely to get you the quality leads you need.

Alphabet reminds us to focus

AlphabetGoogle was originally created as a web search business but as technology evolves, so has Google’s focus. That is, until yesterday when the answer finding site announced that it has now established a parent company, Alphabet, which will oversee all projects outside Google’s original realm of searching.

This change will allow Google to remain the search engine expert while Alphabet oversees other areas of technological exploration and advancement.

This move by Google is a reminder of the importance of brand focus. Companies should continuously look for new opportunities to grow, expand and market itself. However, it is equally as important to remain focused on your core offerings, as side projects can prove disastrous (see Google Wave, Google Buzz).
