As a shopper, I’ve left my fair share of carts behind. Sometimes I’m not ready to commit, sometimes I’m just browsing, and honestly, sometimes I just forget. And what happens next? The same product starts following me around like it’s on a mission to haunt my feed. As a marketer, I can’t help but cringe a little. Retargeting has so much potential, but most of it feels impersonal and out of touch. It’s like shouting, “Buy this!” instead of asking, “What stopped you?” What’s missing? Context. What if we knew why the shopper didn’t convert? Even better, what if we could predict their conversion likelihood? That lipstick I left in the cart? Maybe I need a guide on finding my shade. The jacket I abandoned? Perhaps reassurance about the fit or a small discount would help. When retargeting adapts to intent, it builds trust. Real-time personalization ensures you’re not just guessing why someone didn’t buy but addressing it with relevance. That’s where tools like Helium Pulse step in. They help brands connect with shoppers by understanding intent, knowing the likelihood of conversion, and responding with the right message at the right time. Because at the end of the day, wouldn’t it be better to retarget smarter, not harder?
