Criteo’s Traffic-Driving Solution is Now Available Globally

Our solution that helps marketers connect with new audiences for the first time is now available across extended regions.
Updated on December 15, 2022

Criteo goes beyond retargeting, and now allows advertisers to influence brand consideration from new audiences.

Today’s consumers are often described as “digital”, “mobile” and “always-on”. They’re able to find information, switch devices, and make decisions faster than ever before. As marketers, it’s never been more difficult to engage with new audiences and influence their decision making than it is in 2020.

But a huge opportunity has also emerged. While a majority of consumers enter their shopping journey with a few brands in their consideration set, Criteo research shows that a staggering 74% of shoppers are willing to consider a completely new brand.1 Our research also shows that most consumers browse between different businesses, websites, and experiences before buying: On average, less than 10% of our US respondents said they almost always purchase from the first website they visit.2

Criteo data shows that the average time between the first touchpoint and a transaction is seven days when the transaction ends in-store, versus up to 28 days when a transaction ends online. That’s a full four weeks for ecommerce shoppers to consider and land on the perfect product for their needs.3

More Marketers Can Now Connect with New Audiences

That’s why Criteo is excited to announce the General Availability of its solution that helps marketers connect with new audiences for the first time, driving results such as brand consideration, higher engagement rates, and increased website traffic.
