How to create a Retargeting Campaign

There are 3 ways you can start a new retargeting campaign.

Option 1 (recommended): Launch a Marketing Recipe: Retarget Website Visitors campaign.

Our retargeting recipe combines ads + email together. We recommend this because shoppers who are influenced by both ads and email are two times as likely to convert as shoppers who see ads alone!

From the homepage, click on Grow Your Business tab and click on Retarget Website Visitors.
