What Is Remarketing?
Remarketing is a process that enables advertisers to retarget people who have visited your website after they have left using Google’s Display Network. The tactic is often used in the instance where a visitor to a site did not complete a purchase or another defined website conversion like newsletter signup.
Using ‘cookies’ that tracks web users browsing, the visitor is then served display ads relating to the initial website designed to draw them back to complete the advertiser’s desired outcome.

5 Ways To Use Remarketing
Once you’ve setup for remarketing, it’s time to look at ways to use it for specific purposes.
Brand awareness adverts
Using remarketing to broadcast your brand’s existence at the early stages of a customers search for a product or service.
Google keyword search
Using remarketing to draw in prospective customers based on their keyword searches. If a person searches for a keyword that you have used in your Adwords campaign, remarketing can display your ads to them during their search. In this instance below the search words relating to beer has triggered a reoccuring advert from Mac's Brewery for it's new beer.
Cart-Abandoners
In the instance that the customer gets all the way to the checkout phase and drops off, remarketing can be used to create emails that remind them of their cart contents to draw them back to complete the purchase.
Social network targeting
In much the same way the Google Display Network can show ads related to a person’s interest in a specific website, Facebook can also remarket with tailored adverts in the News Feed and Right-hand column.
Time specific advertising
Remarketing can be used to retarget customers that have visited your website in the lead up to specific events like Mothers Day or Valentines Day. By creating a custom list of customers that visited your website leading up to these events the previous year you can display ads to them drawing them for a repeat purchase.
