How to Combine Dynamic Ads with Retargeting for E-Commerce Success

What Are Dynamic Ads and How Do They Work?

Dynamic ads automatically show relevant products to people who have visited your website or app. Instead of creating individual ads for each product, a single template pulls product data from your catalog to create personalized ad experiences in real-time.

This makes them incredibly efficient for large inventories and perfect for driving conversions from previously engaged users.

Benefits include:

• Personalized content that increases engagement

• Scalable ad creation

• Higher conversion potential due to contextual relevance

Why Retargeting Is Crucial in E-Commerce

Retargeting allows you to reach users who have already interacted with your brand. According to AdRoll, retargeted users are 70% more likely to convert than first-time visitors.

But not all retargeting is created equal. Segmenting your audience is critical. For example, someone who viewed a product page should be treated differently from someone who abandoned their cart.

Dynamic retargeting funnel: tailor your ad message to each stage of the buyer’s journey to maximize conversions.
