Should I run retargeting after Black Friday?

As a Shopify merchant, I'm wondering about the best approach to retargeting after the intense Black Friday sales period. My store experienced significant traffic and sales during the event, but I'm unsure how to effectively follow up with customers who made purchases or browsed but didn't buy. I want to maximize the momentum from Black Friday and turn one-time shoppers into repeat customers without overwhelming them with too many marketing messages. What strategies should I consider for post-Black Friday retargeting to maintain engagement and drive additional sales?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes - post-Black Friday retargeting is highly effective because these visitors already showed purchase intent. Target cart abandoners and product page viewers with a softer message, not another 30% off.

Should I Run Retargeting After Black Friday?

Post-Black Friday retargeting is one of the highest-ROI ad activities available to you. You're targeting people who visited your store, viewed products, or added to cart during the most purchase-intent-heavy shopping period of the year - but didn't convert. They're still warm.

Retargeting Window

Run post-Black Friday retargeting for 14-21 days. After that, intent drops significantly and CPMs remain elevated. Use 7-day click and 1-day view attribution to measure accurately.

Growth Suite: Advanced Behavioral Targeting captures on-site behavior data that enriches your retargeting audiences - so you can target based on which specific products visitors viewed, not just "visited the site."
