Chango/Digiday Study Finds More Than Half of All Marketers to Spend More on Retargeting Next Year
New York (PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Chango, (http://www.chango.com) a marketing technology company, in partnership with Digiday, released "The Retargeting Barometer, Q4 2013," the most extensive survey on the state of retargeting undertaken to date.
The report found that more than half of all respondents, from both agencies and brands said they planned to spend more on retargeting in 2014, with one in five saying they have dedicated retargeting budgets.
Other findings include:
• 60% of respondents revealed they were using both view-through and click-through to measure the success of their retargeting campaigns;
• 28% of respondents cite the lack of integration with other marketing initiatives as a challenge in adopting retargeting. 27% cite transparency as their second biggest challenge;
• Site retargeting remains the most ubiquitous type of retargeting, used by 86% of respondents, followed closely by search retargeting at 75% of respondents;
• Since April's Retargeting Barometer, respondents using Facebook Exchange retargeting rose from 41% to 56%;
• There is room for improvement among ad-tech vendors. Only 25% of respondents were "very satisfied" working with retargeting vendors. The biggest issue marketers had with ad-tech vendors in general was that there were too many companies offering products with little differentiation.
"Retargeting continues to grow," said Ben Plomion, vice president of marketing at Chango and report co-author. "A strong majority have accepted it as a standard marketing practice."
