In this episode of The Business of E-Commerce I talk about retargeting strategies for 2020. This is a business of e-commerce episode, 146. [inaudible] Welcome to the business. E-Commerce the show that helps e-commerce retailers start launch and grow the e-commerce business. I'm your host, Charles [inaudible] I'm here today to talk about retargeting strategies. This is a topic that I want you for a while and I've been building. So I wanted to dig into a four-part tale. I'll kind of lay them out different places to retarget the length to retire guest type of visitors, to retarget, and also the content you should use in your retargeting strategy.
