Introduction
Customer lifetime value is one of the most important growth drivers for overseas brands in China. However, without effective retargeting strategies, brands lose opportunities to re-engage users and drive repeat purchases. Within the WeChat ecosystem, retargeting enables brands to maintain continuous engagement and maximize long-term value.
