The Power of a Retail Media Network

Heidi Reale • December 14, 2023

A retail media network refers to a platform owned and operated by a retailer that allows brands and manufacturers to advertise and promote their products directly to the retailer's customers. SparkShoppe has been managing, selling, and executing this type of marketing in the grocery retail industry for over 7 years. Retail media networks have become increasingly popular and can offer several advantages for both grocers and manufacturers. Here are the key aspects of the power of a retail media network:

This data allows advertisers to create highly targeted and personalized campaigns, increasing the likelihood of reaching the right audience.
