by Retail media networks, also known as retail media platforms, enable retailers to monetize their first-party shopper data and transform their stores into media sellers. Retail media networks allow brands to reach online and in-store shoppers through targeted digital ads on the retailer’s owned and operated properties like websites, mobile apps, and emails. Some key advantages of retail media networks include precise audience targeting based on shopper behavior data, measurement of ad performance across online and offline sales, and opportunities for retailers to generate new revenue streams.

Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the retail media network market is the increasing focus on omnichannel experiences. Retailers are leveraging their media networks to deliver a unified brand message to shoppers across both online and in-store shopping touchpoints. Omnichannel campaigns through retail media allow advertisers to reach consumers along their entire purchase journey, from discovery to purchase to repeat engagement. Another key trend is the growth of shoppable ads. More retailers are enabling brands to incorporate interactive, shoppable ads within media placements. Shoppable ads allow consumers to easily add products to their cart or wishlist directly from an ad unit, improving ad engagement and conversions for brands. As retail media networks continue to scale, these types of innovative omnichannel and shoppable ad formats will become more widely adopted.
