The new Criteo Product Ads module in PrestaShop allows the platform’s merchants to effectively engage and re-engage their audiences
London – June 4, 2020 – PrestaShop, the leading e-commerce platform in Europe and Latin America, and Criteo, the global technology company powering the world’s marketers with trusted and impactful advertising, are teaming up to bring the best e-commerce and advertising technologies to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). As a first step, both companies announce the launch of the Criteo Product Ads module in PrestaShop. With Criteo’s scalable and AI-driven advertising technology, PrestaShop merchants can attract users to visit their online stores and buy from them.
Merchants cannot rely on organic site traffic alone and consequently need to spend a lot of time and resources to help drive new customers to their website. Even with these efforts, an average of 98% of site visitors abandon their shopping carts or leave the site without making a purchase.
The Criteo Product Ads module enhances customer experience through relevant product ads while helping merchants automate their efforts to attract new visitors for their site and to encourage them to complete their purchase.
Key benefits of the Criteo Product Ads module in PrestaShop include:
- Generate quality traffic: By analyzing billions of shopping transactions globally, Criteo Product Ads help to identify and address those visitors who are most valuable for each PrestaShop merchant
- (Re-)engage users: Merchants benefit from Criteo’s access to millions of e-commerce transactions and vast publisher network to engage visitors with personalized ads that fit their interests, based on the merchants’ PrestaShop product catalogues
- Easy set-up: By installing the Criteo Product Ads module on PrestaShop, Criteo automatically starts to design and build branded and ready-to-use display ads. This is a free-of-charge service that can be done in under 10 minutes
- Maximize Return-on-Ad-Spend (ROAS): Merchants define a daily budget and are only charged when a user clicks on an ad. As a result, they can stop spending money on ineffective advertising that doesn’t bring high-quality visitors to their site
