The Retargeting Trap: More New Customers on Half the Spend

By Scott Desgrosseilliers on Dec 12, 2025 9:00:00 AM

What is the Retargeting Trap?

The Retargeting Trap is a marketing failure where brands unknowingly dedicate their budget to re-acquiring existing customers rather than finding new ones. This leads to a "Treacherous Paradox": platform ROAS appears high (6x–10x), but actual new customer growth remains flat. By using FunnelVision to audit retargeting loops, brands like SweetLegs have generated more revenue on 50% less spend.

First party attribution data from Wicked Reports captures the entire buying cycle of leads generated from all your marketing activities. The tricky part with Pinterest is that these leads are often in the research phase and can take a long time to buy.
