French Language Targeting
French advertising refers to marketing efforts that target French Speaking populations of consumers. Advertising to French speaking audiences and targeting ads appropriate requires a couple of guidelines.
But is advertising to such a niche linguistic group (ie people who speak French) worth it in the food and wine industry? The French Langage “niche” may be more substantial than you think.

French Targeting in our Ad Server
When it comes to targeting French-speaker consumers with ads, there are two main things to keep in mind:
- Target people who have “French Language” set in their computer or mobile device, and
- Target people who are looking at website content that is in French.
If you pair these two targeting methods, you’ll maximize your overall audience reach. When it comes to the latter, in the context of food and wine marketing, you’ll want to target users who are viewing French food recipes. This is especially so if your product is included in the ingredient list for the recipe in question.
