What is Remarketing and How Its work?

Remarketing is a clever way to connect with visitors to your website who may not have made an immediate purchase or enquiry. It allows you to position targeted ads in front of a defined audience that had previously visited your website - as they browse elsewhere around the internet.



Your remarketing ads can show on any website that accepts advertising from the Google Display Network  and in NZ this includes many of the most popular local websites like NZherald, Trademe, Metservice, Stuff and many more.  There is a high degree of targeting flexibility and you can even filter your targeting to show only on specific sites and or exclude specific sites.

At Adhesion, a lot of our clients find remarketing to be a very (very) cost-effective form of advertising for reminding visitors to purchase your offering(s) and increasing brand awareness. For any business with a website, if you're considering advertising online, our experts highly recommend investing in some remarketing.

Google Remarketing is an ideal advertising tactic especially where the sales process is long and considered and competitive. Executed in the right way it can be a powerful tool to improve sales conversions and to raise your brand profile.

What ad formats and sizes are used?

Most remarketing ads are delivered in text and or image display formats and are managed from within Google AdWords. A growing number of ads are becoming animated including video formats. Image animation in display ads is usually achieved by using GIFs or HTML5.

Display ad sizing options are determined by the spaces allocated on websites that accept the advertising. There is a large number of standard sizes and at Adhesion we normally recommend building display ads to the most common 4 or 5 sizes.

How does Google re marketing work?

It's quite simple really. Remarketing works by placing cookies on your website visitors device(s) when they meet your criteria. Their cookie ID is added to your remarketing audience list. You can have multiple lists with a range of different criteria.

For example you may wish to target visitors that viewed a particular page or section on your website but didn't make a purchase or complete and enquiry form.
