  1. I think Staples is remarketing to me via facebook ads/sponsored posts. I looked at at item the other day on their site, they sent me an email about the item after I left the site (I didn’t even put it in my shopping cart yet), and now similar items are showing up as facebook ads and sponsored post’s.

    1. Yeah it’s kind of funny, I stopped by Marie Forleo’s site randomly the other day and started getting hit with her B-School training program although it’s only for women I think, haha!

    2. Remarketing is really catching on now – I even got served youtube ad videos for CrazyEgg after I visited their site.
