In-market Segments

In-market audience segments allow you to tap into Criteo’s real-time shopping intent data to target people who may be interested in your brand based on their web browsing activity.  

You can build your segment using a combination of the following targeting options:  

  • Interests: Select from a list of thousands of product categories and include filters across product price ranges 

  • Brands: Select from a list of thousands of brand names across verticals including Retail, Electronics, and Auto 

  • Demographics: Filter your audience segment based on gender affinity (Women and men) and purchasing power (Very high, high, medium, low) 

You can use any combination of the options listed above to create your audience segment. 

As you start to build, you will instantly see the estimated number of people you can reach. This estimation will provide recommendations on how to gain the best results from your ad set: it will indicate when your segment is too large and needs to be refined; or whether your segment is small and needs to be broadened. 
 

 

When to use this audience segment

In-market segments allow you to use Criteo’s data to reach people who are actively browsing the Web for certain products, services, or brands, but have not been fully exposed to your brand yet.
