Ecommerce Retargeting
Stay in front of people who already know you.
We run ecommerce retargeting: retargeting for past visitors and display ads for the right new audiences. Retail businesses need traffic that buys. Whether you sell online through Shopify or drive foot traffic to a physical store, your digital marketing has to connect product discovery with purchase intent. Product SEO gets your items ranking in Google Shopping and organic search. Seasonal campaigns coordinate across every channel so your Mother's Day push, your holiday sale, and your clearance event all tell the same story.
Ecommerce Retargeting: what online stores and retailers deal with.
Amazon and Walmart absorb the head terms for almost every retail category. Independent stores win on brand-specific searches, gift-occasion queries, and the seasonal moments where personality beats price.
Friction points specific to retail and ecommerce
- Product feed quality dictates Google Shopping performance, but most stores leave required fields like GTIN, brand, and category empty so half their catalog never serves.
- Cart abandonment runs 70 percent industry-wide. Without retargeting plus an email recovery sequence, that lost revenue stays lost.
- Inventory swings hourly during sale events. Ad campaigns that cannot pause out-of-stock items waste budget driving traffic to a 'sold out' page.
Decision drivers for retail and ecommerce prospects
- Shipping cost and timeline shown on the product page, before checkout.
- Real product photos from several angles. Vendor stock shots look identical to every competitor's.
- A return policy in plain English on or near the product page.
Display Ads and Retargeting for Retail and eCommerce businesses
Display ads follow your visitors across the web and bring them back when they're ready to buy. We design the creative, build the audience segments, manage the campaigns on AdRoll, and report on impressions, clicks, and conversions every month. Seasonal creative keeps your brand fresh and relevant year-round.
- Custom display ad design and animated HTML5 banners
- Cross-network retargeting via AdRoll
- Audience segmentation by behavior, recency, and intent
- Conversion tracking and multi-touch attribution
- Seasonal campaign creative (holidays, promotions, events)
- Banner A/B testing and performance optimization
- Monthly reports with impressions, CTR, conversions, and ROI
- Creative refresh cycles so your ads never go stale

See the Mrs. Clean Pittsburgh story →A member-owned electric cooperative serving more than 85,000 meters across six counties in eastern North Carolina. Members inside the territory cannot choose another provider, so the website was never built to win business. It was built so members can report an outage, find their service address, and reach the programs they qualify for.

If you run a retail and ecommerce business, these are the Display Ads questions we hear most often. The answers are the same ones we give clients on the phone.
What is ecommerce retargeting and which shoppers does it reach?
It shows your ads to people who visited your store and left without buying. The most valuable group is usually shoppers who added something to the cart, followed by people who viewed products. We build separate audiences for each on AdRoll and design banners for each stage, so a cart abandoner sees a different message than someone who only browsed.
How do I keep ads from promoting products that are sold out?
Tie the campaign to what is actually in stock. During a sale, inventory can change by the hour, and sending paid clicks to a sold out page wastes money and annoys shoppers. We plan creative around collections with healthy stock, watch inventory during big events and pause or swap banners when a featured product runs low.
Should customers who just bought still see my banners?
Usually not the same ones. Once someone buys, we move them out of the cart and browse audiences so they stop seeing ads for the item they already own. If you sell things people reorder or give as gifts, we can build a separate past buyer audience with its own message and a longer gap before it starts.
Do holiday and seasonal banners need to be designed separately?
Yes. A banner built for everyday traffic reads flat during a holiday push, and shoppers respond to creative that matches the moment. We design seasonal sets ahead of each major event on your calendar, schedule the swap and refresh the everyday creative on a regular cycle, so returning shoppers do not see the same ad for months.
Can banners help a small store hold onto shoppers the big marketplaces would take?
They help with the shoppers you already earned. The big marketplaces own most generic product searches, but someone who found your store already showed interest in your brand. Retargeting keeps your products, photos and return policy in front of that person while they decide. We track sales back to the ads so you see what the spend returned.
