Abandoned Cart Reminder

Show the exact product left in the cart with 'Still Thinking About This?' copy. The most direct and effective retargeting format.

Limited-Time Discount Nudge

Offer a small discount (10-15%) to cart abandoners. 'Come back — here's 10% off' can recover 10-15% of abandoned carts.

Social Proof Reassurance

Show the product with customer reviews and star ratings. Address the hesitation that caused them to leave without buying.

Free Shipping Incentive

'We added free shipping to your cart' removes one of the top reasons for cart abandonment — unexpected costs.

Product Comparison Followup

If they viewed multiple products, show a comparison helping them choose. Decision paralysis causes abandonment — help them decide.

Urgency Stock Warning

'Your item is almost sold out — only 3 left'. Creates urgency for products they already showed interest in.

Tips for Great Results

Segment retargeting by funnel stage — product viewers get different ads than cart abandoners
Set frequency caps (3-5 impressions per week) to avoid ad fatigue and annoyance
Dynamic product ads showing the exact items viewed are the highest-converting retargeting format
Wait 1-4 hours before retargeting cart abandoners — immediate retargeting feels invasive
Exclude recent purchasers from retargeting to avoid wasting budget and annoying customers
