Dynamic Retargeting

Definition

Showing ads featuring the exact products users viewed on your website, because subtle doesn't work when you're already being invasive.

Example Usage

Dynamic retargeting showed users the exact shoes they'd browsed, which felt like we'd developed psychic abilities or just basic cookies.

Origin

Advanced retargeting technique popularized in the 2010s

Fun Fact

Dynamic retargeting has converted skeptics because nothing says 'I was thinking of you' like showing someone exactly what they didn't buy.
