January 15, 2013 by Simon Wajcenberg

The hurdles were high but now – for the first time – mobile retargeting on a global scale has become a reality. Retargeting describes the ability to re-advertise to the 98% of shoppers who look but don’t buy, or to the 60% who leave their shopping basket agonisingly full but fail to checkout.
