The company maintains that by reintroducing relevant products and service offers to users, advertisers will see greatly improved conversions and click-through rates. Research from comScore bears this out, demonstrating that a retargeted display ad will encourage 1,000% more people to search for a product than a standard ad.
myThings was the first company in Europe to offer online retailers a CPA business model, which sees advertisers paying only for conversions or pre-agreed actions, instead of clicks. myThings also supports traditional CPM and CPC models.
