How to scale retargeting with qualified traffic

Retargeting is one of the most effective ways to use data, but scaling it can be tough. Expanding a retargeting segment with qualified traffic is often both challenging and costly. Digital Angels tackled this for Cofidis, a financial services leader, growing their retargeting pool while maintaining high visitor quality.

Client: Cofidis – Financial Services
Objective: Drive qualified traffic to the Cofidis website, boosting brand consideration and expanding the retargeting pool. Key KPIs included click-through rate (CTR) and cost-per-click (CPC) compared to the programmatic market average.

The Challenge

Cofidis needed to attract more qualified visitors to their site to improve brand consideration and expand their retargeting base. Traditional retargeting methods often fall short in scaling qualified audiences, especially when targeting users interested in specific loan products. Their agency, Digital Angels took on this challenge, seeking a scalable and effective solution to bring in potential customers who would later be retargeted.

“Our decision to partner with Digiseg was instrumental in solving our scaling challenge. Their scalable audience segments played a key role in the campaign’s success.”

– Gabriele Zippilli, Programmatic Lead, Digital Angels.

The Solution

To scale up Cofidis’s retargeting pool, Digital Angels turned to Digiseg’s real-world household demographic data. Rather than relying on inferred behaviors or traditional demographic markers like age and gender, Digiseg’s approach taps into publicly available household demographics. This innovative method identifies consumer need and buying power, allowing broad reach without sacrificing quality.

By leveraging Digiseg’s data, Digital Angels targeted households more likely to be interested in loans, ensuring that the campaign reached the right audience. This data-driven approach resulted in highly relevant traffic and increased engagement on Cofidis’s site.
