Discount travel is a highly competitive industry, and even leading OTAs must continually innovate to capture mindshare and travel dollars. CheapOair has used innovation to its advantage, partnering with Criteo as an eager adopter of new technologies that keep it ahead of the changing needs and habits of travel consumers.

The company has invested heavily in an award-winning app to take advantage of the soaring popularity of mobile and in-app booking. CheapOair turned to Criteo App Retargeting to maximize its app engagement and conversion rates and now relies on Criteo to deliver highly personalized, dynamic in-app ads to bring back users for booking.

Just two months after adopting Criteo App Retargeting, CheapOair saw tremendous increases in bookings and total order value. YOY, the company has seen an increase in clicks of 64%, an increase in app bookings of 37%, and growth in spend of 58%.

Finally, in 2017, CheapOair signed on to one of Criteo’s most powerful solutions for cross-device engagement: Identity Graph. Identity Graph is Criteo’s unique process for using anonymized user identification to capture individual purchase intent across devices, browsers, and apps. The company has already seen a 15% increase in efficiency for users who we have matched across devices.
