Can You Retarget Website Visitors Who Went Away?

Stop losing leads and meet Website Visitors by GoAudience.

When you sell online, you know the path to purchase is rarely a straight line. 

A potential customer might discover your website through an Instagram ad, browse your products, and even add a few items to their cart.

But then, life gets in the way, a phone rings, an email pops up, or a friend drops by. 

And then, they’re distracted, and without a gentle nudge to bring them back, those shoppers, and the sale, are gone, not for good.

In this article, we’ll explore how you can turn website visitors who leave without making a purchase into loyal customers. 

Retargeting ads are a powerful way to re-engage these potential buyers, build your brand, and ultimately drive more sales. 

Let’s get into some effective marketing strategies to make it happen!

High Bounce Rates, Untapped Potential

Every business invests time, effort, and budget to target audience to its website. But here’s the reality: most of that traffic doesn’t convert. 

In fact, 98% of website visitors leave without taking any action, according to digital marketing studies.

The High Bounce Rate Dilemma

Imagine thousands of potential customers visiting your website, but within seconds, they navigate away. 

This phenomenon, called a bounce, is common and costly.

For many businesses, bounce rates average between 40-60%, meaning a significant chunk of potential leads never engage.

Lost Leads = Lost Revenue

For businesses relying on lead generation, the consequences are stark.

When a visitor leaves, so does the opportunity for acquisition and to convert them into a paying customer.

This is known as audience churn or audience drop-off. And without mechanisms of user engagement for these visitors, the potential revenue from lost leads is staggering.

Untapped Goldmine in Anonymous Visitors

Anonymity compounds the problem. 

While tools like Google Analytics provide aggregate data about audience profiles, they often fail to answer the critical question: Who are these visitors? 

This means businesses miss the chance to nurture warm leads who’ve already shown interest by visiting their site or online content.

If You Were To Believe Statistics

  • 98% of website visitors leave without converting on their first visit.
  • 70% of online shoppers abandon their carts, representing billions in lost revenue annually.
  • Businesses that implement retargeting with content personalization, see an average 26% increase in conversions, according to industry reports.
