Behavior Targeting
Behavioral targeting is a marketing method that uses web user information to strengthen advertising campaigns. The technique involves gathering data from a variety of sources about the potential customer’s online browsing and shopping behaviors.
This information helps create ads that are relevant to that specific user’s habits and interests, which the publisher can then display in that visitor’s web browser.
The primary purpose of this technique is to deliver advertising messages to the behavioral target markets that have shown the most interest in them. The process involves compiling web searches, purchase histories, frequently visited websites and other information to create a full user profile, revealing what your audience wants, avoids and purchases.
Using these data points, companies can formulate ads that align with the individual consumer’s trackable preferences and needs, without conveying messages the viewer would find unappealing or irrelevant.
