Don't many customers view this as being creepy? Does it cause more brand damage than the sales are worth?

I don't think retargeting is particularly creepy.

What is creepy is that when my in-laws were visiting for the first time I had a American Express ad with Tina Fey congratulating me on meeting my in laws for the first time.

That would put me off both the advertiser and the platform (Facebook? Google?) for life.
