This can be done for a variety of purposes, such as to increase the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, to better understand customer behavior, or to tailor products or services to specific segments of the market. Audience targeting can be based on a wide range of factors, such as demographics, location, interests, and behavior. It is often used in digital marketing, where it can be accomplished through the use of cookies, retargeting, and other technologies.
