Mercadão boosts retargeting efficiency with first-party data audiences

Mercadão Overview

Mercadão is a well-established supermarket marketplace in Portugal with an expansive team of personal shoppers ready to fulfill their clients’ orders within 2 hours. Mercadão offers real-time order tracking and operates across local supermarkets to ensure same day deliveries and a swift, personalized customer experience. 

What Mercadão Wanted

Mercadão is constantly on the lookout for creative ways to engage and maximize the efficiency of their paid media and retargeting campaigns aimed at a highly recurring customer base. 

Given the fast-paced nature of the supermarket industry and their large volume of customers, the Portuguese marketplace recognized the importance of utilizing their very own first-party data. Mercadão was seeking a way to improve insights to generate bespoke audiences and boost retention performance, particularly on paid media campaigns.
