Challenge

La Redoute is one of Europe’s leading fashion and homeware online retailers, focused on making French style accessible to all. Since partnering with Criteo, La Redoute has been successful in driving sales and consistently increasing their online revenue using Criteo Dynamic Retargeting.

In late 2017, La Redoute was looking for a new customer acquisition solution that could help them discover relevant shoppers, drive more traffic to their website and boost their online sales. To help convert prospects into new customers, La Redoute decided to join Criteo’s beta programme in the UK and try Criteo Customer Acquisition.
