Retargeting Revival: Bringing Customers Back Like a Boomerang

97% of visitors leave your site without making a purchase—but that doesn’t mean the sale is lost. Retargeting is the secret weapon that brings them back, turning hesitation into action. At The Online Lab, we specialise in retargeting campaigns that re-engage, convert, and drive exceptional ROI. Here’s how we do it.


What is Retargeting?

Retargeting uses strategic ads to reconnect with people who’ve already interacted with your brand but haven’t completed a purchase. These ads act as a gentle nudge, reminding users of what they’re missing out on—whether it’s an item left in their cart, a product they viewed, or a brand they explored.


Why Retargeting Works

The magic of retargeting lies in targeting warm audiences—those who are already familiar with your brand. These users are far more likely to convert because:

  • They’ve shown interest in your products or services.
  • The ads are personalised to their specific behaviours.
  • Familiarity breeds trust, making them more comfortable with purchasing.

At The Online Lab, we amplify this potential by creating hyper-targeted retargeting campaigns that maximise engagement and results.


Our Retargeting Playbook

1. Abandoned Cart Campaigns

Did you know abandoned cart reminders can recover up to 30% of lost sales? We craft dynamic retargeting ads that:

  • Showcase the exact products left behind.
  • Add urgency with limited-time offers or stock alerts.
    Example: “Your cart is waiting—checkout now to get 10% off before it’s gone!”

2. Dynamic Product Retargeting

Dynamic ads are tailored to each user’s browsing behaviour, showing them exactly what they’re interested in.
Example: A user who browsed trainers will see an ad highlighting those trainers, complete with customer reviews and a clear CTA like “Buy Now.”

3. Cross-Selling and Upselling Campaigns

Retarget existing customers with complementary or upgraded products to boost lifetime value.
Example: “Love your new jacket? Complete the look with our winter scarf collection.”


Optimising Retargeting for ROI

Retargeting isn’t just about running ads—it’s about running the right ads. At The Online Lab, we use data-driven techniques to:

  • Segment audiences for maximum relevance (e.g., cart abandoners vs. casual browsers).
  • Test multiple creatives to identify high-performing designs.
  • Schedule ads strategically to appear when users are most likely to engage.

Why You Need Retargeting Experts

While retargeting is incredibly effective, it’s also easy to get wrong. Poorly timed ads or overly generic messaging can annoy potential customers rather than convert them. That’s why you need experts to handle:

  • Ad design that grabs attention without being intrusive.
  • Advanced audience segmentation for precision targeting.
  • Continuous optimisation to ensure every ad spend delivers results.
