Re-marketing campaigns are a convenient way to target any visitors who did not convert. These campaigns usually have a high conversion rate at a low cost but there is a better way to do it.

One of her case studies describes that hotel visitors would rather reuse their towel if they thought other people who have stayed in the same room reused their towels versus obeying a sign that politely asks them to reuse it to protect the environment.

Consistency makes your brand familiar, and more trustworthy, which increases the likelihood of converting.
