Frequently Asked Questions.


Retargeting is a powerful tool in performance marketing, but it's crucial for UK businesses to strike a balance between effectiveness and respecting user privacy. Here are some strategies to leverage retargeting effectively without being intrusive:


  1. Implement frequency capping: Limit the number of times a user sees your ad within a specific timeframe. This prevents ad fatigue and reduces the perception of intrusiveness.
  2. Segment your audience: Create specific target audience segments based on user behaviour, interests, and engagement levels. This allows for more targeted and relevant retargeting campaigns.
  3. Use dynamic creative: Personalise ads based on the products or services the user has shown interest in. This increases relevance and improves the user experience.
  4. Respect privacy regulations: Ensure compliance with UK and EU data protection laws, including GDPR. Be transparent about data collection and provide easy opt-out options.
  5. Implement burn pixels: Use burn pixels to stop showing ads to users who have already converted, preventing unnecessary ad exposure.
  6. Utilise cross-device retargeting: With the prevalence of multi-device usage in the UK, implement cross-device retargeting to maintain a consistent user experience across platforms.
  7. Employ soft sell approaches: Instead of pushing for immediate sales, use retargeting to provide value through content marketing, educational resources, or exclusive offers.
  8. Set appropriate time limits: Define a reasonable duration for your retargeting campaigns. For example, limit the campaign to 30 days after a user visits your site.

According to a study by Rakuten Marketing, 56% of UK consumers find retargeting ads helpful in keeping brands top-of-mind. However, 31% feel that retargeted ads are too invasive (Google Ads). This underscores the importance of striking the right balance.

By implementing these strategies, UK businesses can create effective retargeting campaigns that respect user privacy and enhance the overall customer experience. Remember, the goal is to gently remind and engage users, not to overwhelm them with aggressive digital advertising tactics.



The best performance marketing agencies in the United Kingdom adapt their strategies significantly based on industry verticals and business sizes. This tailored approach is crucial for maximising ROI and achieving specific business and marketing objectives in the diverse UK market. Here's how agencies typically adjust their tactics:

Industry-Specific Adaptations:

  • E-commerce: Focus on conversion rate optimisation, basket abandonment strategies, and retargeting campaigns.
  • B2B: Emphasis on lead generation, account-based marketing, and longer sales cycle nurturing.
  • Finance: Strict adherence to FCA regulations, focus on trust-building content, and secure data handling.
  • Travel: Seasonal campaign planning, mobile-first strategies, and location-based targeting.
  • Healthcare: Compliance with NHS guidelines, patient privacy considerations, and educational content marketing.

Business Size Considerations:


SMEs

  • Focus on cost-effective channels like local SEO and social media marketing
  • Emphasis on quick wins and immediate ROI
  • Utilisation of automated tools to maximise limited budgets

Mid-size Companies

  • Balanced approach between branding and marketing performance
  • Expansion into multi-channel strategies
  • Investment in data analytics for more informed decision-making

Large Enterprises

  • Comprehensive omnichannel strategies
  • Advanced attribution modeling
  • Focus on brand safety and reputation management
  • International campaign coordination for UK-based multinationals


Additionally, UK performance marketing agencies work on adapting to recent trends and challenges:


  • Privacy-First Approach: With the enforcement of GDPR and the phasing out of third-party cookies, agencies are pivoting towards first-party data strategies and contextual targeting.
  • AI and Machine Learning: Leveraging advanced technologies for predictive analytics and automated bidding strategies, particularly beneficial for large datasets in enterprise-level campaigns.
  • Mobile-Centric Strategies: Given that UK mobile internet usage reached 92% in 2023 (Statista), agencies are prioritising mobile-first design and app-based marketing initiatives.
  • Voice Search Optimisation: With 42% of UK adults using voice search daily (Voicebot.ai), agencies are adapting content and SEO strategies for voice queries, especially for local businesses.

By tailoring the best digital marketing strategy to specific industries and business sizes, the right performance marketing agency ensures that campaigns are not only relevant but also highly effective in the competitive British market. This bespoke approach allows for better resource allocation, more precise targeting, and ultimately, superior ROI for clients across various sectors and scales.
