Contextual signals are browsing data characteristics about a person, such as page and product visited, or color choices looked at. These signals can be used to develop personalized communication, scalable with the largest of product catalogs.
The signals can be powerful insights on how to allocate funds on the users for advertising costs or individual discount offers presented to a potential buyer, increasing your ROI.
Intent Signals will help you distinguish buyers that are in the deep funnel part of the research phase.
Who are these searchers?
Placing many items in shopping cart then abandoning the cart.
Placing many items a wish list and coming back to the site on multiple days with no purchase.
Performing the above function for days or months, but not purchasing.
Knowing what these signals are allows you to target the right plan of action with your marketing efforts more effectively.

Reading a person’s keyword search gives the advertiser a glass door to the ad strategies of converting lookers into buyers. Personal marketing campaigns are necessary to attract and keep buyers.
