Retargeting can feel invasive when overdone. Ethical retargeting respects user boundaries while still driving results—maintaining brand trust along the way.
Step 1: Set Impression Limits
Cap retargeted ads at 5 impressions per user per week. QuickAds.ai’s frequency controls enforce these limits across all your ad sets, ensuring you don’t overwhelm anyone.
Step 2: Provide Transparency
Use copy like “You visited our site—here’s a special offer!” to remind people why they’re seeing your ad. This context reduces confusion and annoyance.
Step 3: Offer Simple Opt-Outs
For categories like job seekers or healthcare, provide a one-click “Stop seeing this” link in your ad copy. QuickAds.ai can automatically remove anyone who clicks that link from future retargeting lists.
Step 4: Exclude Recent Converters
Automatically exclude anyone who purchased or signed up in the last 30 days. QuickAds.ai’s CRM integration syncs purchase data hourly, keeping your exclusion lists fresh.
Step 5: Monitor User Feedback
Track negative feedback metrics—like “Hide ad” clicks—and set auto-pausing rules if they exceed 2% of impressions. This protects your brand’s reputation and keeps your retargeting humane.
By embedding privacy and choice into your retargeting strategy, you’ll drive conversions without sacrificing customer trust—striking the right ethical balance.
