BOSTON – March 12, 2024 – Shop Simon (opens in a new tab), the marketplace bringing the Simon experience for premium and luxury online for global shoppers, today announced the launch of its retail media network powered by Mirakl Ads (opens in a new tab). Building on Shop Simon’s successful on-sale and outlet marketplace, the new retail media network offers Shop Simon sellers a cost-effective channel to boost visibility and sales, while delivering personalized, curated advertisements to the millions of online shoppers that visit Shop Simon annually. Shop Simon sellers can begin advertising on the retail media network in minutes using Mirakl’s AI-powered sponsored product ads.
According to research from Insider Intelligence (opens in a new tab), advertisers are expected to spend more than $55 billion on retail media campaigns in the United States in 2024. That figure is expected to more than double over the next five years, with total spending reaching $106 billion by 2027. This spending is being driven by twin forces: retailers are seeking more profitable eCommerce revenue streams to boost financial performance, and brands need more cost-effective channels where they can leverage first-party transactional data for targeting and measurement.

Shop Simon offers customers an extensive curated assortment of premium and luxury items at affordable prices from more than 300 curated sellers and brands like Adidas, Coach Outlet, Hugo Boss and Mulberry.
