"Ek Baar Customer, Hamesha Customer"
Why Retargeting Matters:
- ✅ 5x easier to sell to existing customers vs new customers
- ✅ 3x cheaper marketing cost
- ✅ 2x higher average order value
1. Repeat Purchase Retargeting
Example - Consumables:
Customer bought phone case 3 months ago → AI knows it needs replacement in 6 months →
After 5 months, AI sends: "Hi Ramesh! Your phone case might need replacement. Get 20% off today!"
Channels: WhatsApp, Email, Facebook/Instagram ads
2. Cross-Sell Retargeting
Example - Complementary Products:
Customer bought iPhone 15 Pro (₹1.2L) → AI suggests: AirPods Pro (₹25K), Apple Watch (₹45K), Case (₹2K)
AI Action: WhatsApp message: "Congrats on your new iPhone! 🎉 Complete your setup with AirPods Pro - ₹5K off!"
3. Upsell Retargeting
Example - Upgrade Offers:
Customer bought basic smartphone (₹15K) 6 months ago → AI detects upgrade cycle →
Offers: "Trade-in your old phone: Get ₹8K. New iPhone 15: Pay only ₹52K. EMI: ₹4,333/month"
4. Win-Back Retargeting
Example - Inactive Customers:
Customer was regular (5 purchases) but no purchase in 6 months → AI sends emotional message:
"We Miss You, Suresh! 😢 It's been 6 months. Here's ₹1,000 OFF just for you. Valid 7 days only."
5. Seasonal/Festival Retargeting
Example - Diwali Campaign:
AI segments customers by category (Electronics, Fashion, Home Decor) →
Sends personalized Diwali offers: "Diwali Dhamaka! 🪔 Special for our valued customers: TVs up to 40% off. Early access: 2 days before public sale"
6. Birthday/Anniversary Retargeting
Example - Birthday Gift:
Customer's birthday tomorrow → AI sends: "🎂 Happy Birthday Anjali! 🎉 Your special gift: ₹500 voucher + 20% off everything. Valid 7 days"
7. Cart Abandonment Retargeting
Example - Abandoned Cart Recovery:
Customer added laptop bag + mouse (₹8K) but didn't buy → AI sequence:
• Hour 2: WhatsApp reminder
• Hour 6: Email with urgency ("Only 3 left!")
• Day 1: SMS with 10% discount
• Day 2: Facebook ad with 15% discount
• Day 3: Final push with 20% off + free delivery
8. Product Review Retargeting
Example - Review Incentive:
Customer bought dress, delivered 5 days ago, no review → Day 7: "Hi Meera! How's your new dress? 👗 Write a review, get ₹200 voucher 🎁"
Result: Customer writes review → Gets ₹200 voucher → Uses voucher → Buys again! 🔄
9. Loyalty Points Retargeting
Example - Expiring Points Alert:
Customer has 5,000 points (₹500) expiring in 15 days → AI alerts: "Rahul, Don't Lose Your ₹500! ⚠️ Points expiring soon. Use now + Get extra 10% off!"
10. VIP Customer Retargeting
Example - VIP Treatment:
High-value customer (₹2L purchases in 6 months) → AI sends: "Hi Priya! 👑 As our VIP customer: Early access to new arrivals (2 days before), Extra 25% off, Free express delivery, Personal shopping assistant"
