Pinterest followed the ad-targeting features it introduced in June with new retargeting additions and improvements, announced Wednesday.

The social network announced the debut of engagement retargeting, improvements to visitor retargeting and the renaming of lookalikes to actalikes.

Product manager Frank Fumarola announced in a blog post that all of the new features are available via Ads Manager, and they will roll out “soon” across all Pinterest Marketing Developer Partners, adding that visitor retargeting will be updated “in the coming weeks.”

Pinterest said in an email to SocialTimes that engagement retargeting will allow brands to target users who have shown interest in their pins by saving, clicking or tapping them, and Fumarola added in the blog post:

For example, if someone saved your after-school snack ideas, you can retarget them in the future with birthday party treats.
