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.
