Retargeting

Retargeting is showing ads again to people who visited your website but did not book. It follows the customer across other sites and social feeds to remind them of the hotel they were eyeing. It works because it hits people who already have intent, though overdoing it annoys them and burns budget.

Example The ad for the hotel you looked at yesterday follows you around Instagram with a direct booking offer.

FAQ

What is retargeting in the hospitality industry?
Retargeting is a digital marketing technique that shows ads for your hotel to people who already visited your website but did not book. Its goal is to remind them of the property they were considering to re-engage their interest.
How does retargeting work in travel?
It works by placing a cookie or pixel in the user's browser when they visit your site, which then shows them ads for that hotel on other pages or social networks. For instance, if someone browsed a room at your hotel and left, they will later see your offer on Facebook or a travel blog.
What is the difference between retargeting and remarketing in hospitality?
Retargeting focuses on showing ads to users who already interacted with your website, while remarketing usually also involves sending personalized emails. Both aim to recover potential guests, but retargeting only uses display ads.
