When to Re-Engage? Depends on your Target Event.
Today the app industry will tell you to start retargeting on day 1 but this approach is flawed for two reasons. First, you may be retargeting users who would have converted on their own. And secondly, you will make attribution murky for your user acquisition efforts.
So what’s a better way to retarget? Find out how long it takes for most of your users to action your target event and then start retargeting one day after to drive true incremental value.
At Liftoff, we’ve charted the average time to conversion, defined as the time it takes for 90% of users to convert, for the most common events by vertical.
