Use in-store media to influence customers close to the purchase decision. This guide explains the planning choices that matter before you shortlist locations, approve creative or confirm campaign dates.
Reach the audience near the decision
Retail media appears when a customer is already browsing, comparing or preparing to buy. That context allows a campaign to focus on product benefit, offer clarity and direction rather than broad awareness alone.
The environment also makes action easier to observe through redemptions, QR scans, store visits or product movement when the retailer can share those signals.
Choose formats by shopper behaviour
Place the message where it supports the decision instead of interrupting it.
- Entrance and window media for launches and storewide promotions.
- Aisle, shelf and end-cap media for product-level choice.
- Checkout screens for reminders and add-on offers.
- Sampling or activation zones when trial is central to conversion.
Make measurement part of the creative
Use a campaign-specific code, QR destination or clear redemption mechanic where appropriate. Keep the action simple enough to complete during the shopping journey.
Document the display after installation and note store, zone and campaign dates so response data can be compared with the correct placement.
In-store media should remove friction from the next action—find the product, understand the offer or scan for more information.
