Retail media is booming, transforming how brands engage with consumers at the point of purchase. With retail media ad spend skyrocketing from $1 billion in 2016 to an anticipated $59.98 billion in 2024 (Emarketer, 2023), it’s clear that in-store media continues to become a more critical component of modern marketing strategies. However, the true potential of in-store media remains untapped due to inconsistent measurement methods and fragmented data sources.
Vibenomics’ latest white paper, “In-Store Impressions Unlocked: To the Roof, Under the Roof, In the Zone,” addresses these challenges head-on, offering a comprehensive guide for brands and retailers on how to navigate in-store audiences and gain accurate audience insights.
Overcoming Inconsistent Measurement Methods
One of the biggest hurdles in retail media is the need for standardized metrics for measuring in-store impressions. Current methods are inconsistent because they rely on disparate data sources and varied methodologies across retail networks. This inconsistency makes it difficult for retailers to quantify the value of their in-store media inventory and for advertisers to receive reliable and consistent audience insights.
Vibenomics’ white paper presents an applicative solution by advocating for clear audibility and viewability metrics. These metrics provide a comprehensive understanding of audience sizing, providing retailers and advertisers with accurate, trusted, and reliable data.
The Digital In-Store Retail Media Opportunity
Digital in-store retail media (digital displays, audio messaging, interactive kiosks, mobile integration, and experiential marketing), offers significant opportunities for retailers looking to connect with consumers. These channels engage shoppers, influence purchase decisions, and drive sales.
The rapid expansion of retail media underscores its importance in the advertising landscape, with technological advancements enabling retailers to implement dynamic digital advertising solutions. However, to fully capitalize on this potential, retailers must overcome the evolving standards and precise methods for measuring in-store impressions. This white paper includes insights and strategies from industry leaders looking to navigate these challenges.
Understanding the Digital In-Store Audience
Retailers must clearly understand their digital in-store audience to monetize their Retail Media Networks (RMNs) effectively. However, the current approach to understanding in-store audiences must be more cohesive. The white paper highlights the importance of a comprehensive in-store audience measurement strategy, emphasizing the need for strategic partnerships, data-driven content strategies, omnichannel integration, and consumer benefits.
Identifying the Value of an In-Store Impression
Accurate audience measurement is crucial for retailers looking to maximize the value of their RMNs and advertisers looking to optimize their in-store strategies. The white paper breaks down the components of in-store impressions, such as audience detection, ad exposure, and audibility/viewability. By understanding these components, retailers can create measurable units of ad exposure that aid in identifying the reach, frequency, and impact of in-store media campaigns.
Creating the Impression Value of a Store
The white paper emphasizes the importance of a standardized approach to accurate and comprehensive audience measurement. It details the collaborative efforts of Vibenomics, Placer.ai, and Quividi to develop next-generation in-store impression calculations. By integrating diverse data inputs, these companies create a more precise and comprehensive baseline for in-store media performance.
Delivering Accurate In-Store Impressions
Vibenomics’ white paper aligns with the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) efforts to create a unified approach to in-store impression measurement. By leveraging location analytics and in-store sensor data, retailers can gain accurate impression counts and deduplicate audience reach. This standardized framework drives greater confidence and investment in in-store retail media.
The Future of In-Store Media
As the in-store retail media industry evolves, leveraging advanced technologies and reliable data will be crucial. The white paper underscores the importance of accurate audience measurement and targeted ad placement, leading to higher ROI and improved attribution. By capitalizing on and testing frequently, retailers and advertisers can refine their in-store media strategies, optimize content, and efficiently allocate resources.
Vibenomics‘ white paper, “In-Store Impressions Unlocked: To the Roof, Under the Roof, In the Zone,” is an essential resource for brands and retailers looking to navigate the complexities of in-store audiences. This white paper paves the way for a more standardized, transparent, and practical approach to in-store media by addressing inconsistent measurement methods and providing actionable insights.

In the rapidly evolving world of retail media, understanding how to measure and optimize in-store advertising is crucial. Chapters 3 and 4 of the IAB’s Digital Out of Home (DOOH) & In-Store Retail Media Playbook offer deep insights into defining in-store retail media metrics and comprehending the complexity of in-store impressions. This blog provides essential guidance for brands and retailers aiming to enhance their in-store marketing strategies.
Holistic and Focused Measurement
“When considering the measurement of in-store activity, it needs to be considered as both a single-focus (measuring the impact of the tactic in consideration), as well as holistically—how the in-store activity performs in relation to the full omnichannel marketing activity. The in-store activity not only needs to be considered as part of the whole, but also how it impacts and is impacted by other out-of-store and online activity.”
Measuring in-store activity requires a dual approach:
Both approaches are essential for a comprehensive view of marketing effectiveness, ensuring in-store activities align with onsite and offsite efforts.
Measurement Methodologies
“As retail media evolves, measurement and optimization remain at the forefront, ensuring that strategies not only resonate with consumers but also drive measurable results.”
There are two primary methodologies for measuring audience exposure to in-store retail media advertisements:
“The metrics we analyze and consider in evaluating performance have to be thought about from each of these points of view, as well as to the overall experience of the shopper with the tactic – which will impact everyone.”
Accurately measuring the effectiveness of in-store campaigns involves several metrics:
The Impression Multiplier is a factor applied to ad play counts to estimate the number of shoppers exposed to an ad. It considers:
This multiplier provides a more accurate count of meaningful impressions, enhancing ROI analysis, strategic content placement, and customer engagement.
“Each Screen or Media Device should be assigned a unique Impression Multiplier based on a number of factors including Venue and Zone foot traffic, field of view, and exposure time, and may additionally vary based on the time of day.”
The impression multiplier is found using the following:
By applying the impression multiplier, brands can:
“With the application of an Impression Multiplier, retailers and brands can achieve a more nuanced understanding of their in-store advertising performance.”
Each retail venue is divided into zones to refine the physical location of media and differentiate contextual exposure to shoppers. Zones are classified to ensure consistent measurement and comparison across different retailers.
“Zones must be overlayed to allow for Exposure and Dwell Time to be applied through location-based foot traffic, screen specific sensors, or other verifiable positioning technology.”
Various technological solutions are available (In-Store Communication, Digital Out of Home, Retail Media, and End-cap/Self Activation) for enhancing retail operations and advertising strategies. Below are key measurement considerations for those technologies:
“The decision to implement any of these technologies rests solely with the retail owner. Each retailer may adopt these technologies based on their specific needs and strategic goals.”
Beyond simple impression counts, measuring engagement quality and interaction with in-store media offers valuable insights into consumer interest and campaign performance. Metrics such as dwell time, interaction rates with touchscreens, QR code scans, and responses to audio messages should be considered across all formats. These metrics help in understanding how many consumers are engaging with the content and how deeply they are engaging with it, providing a basis for optimization and creative refinement, but how deeply consumers are engaging with the content, providing a basis for optimization and creative refinement.
Understanding and accurately measuring in-store retail media is vital for optimizing marketing strategies. By leveraging the insights and methodologies outlined in Chapters 3 and 4 of the IAB’s DOOH & In-Store Retail Media Playbook, brands and retailers can enhance their in-store advertising efforts, driving better engagement and higher ROI.

In today’s retail landscape, the in-store experience has transcended mere transactions to become a pivotal aspect of consumer engagement and brand loyalty. The IAB Digital Out of Home (DOOH) & In-Store Retail Media Playbook is an invaluable resource for brands and retailers seeking to elevate their in-store environments through strategic partnerships and innovative marketing tactics. This playbook provides key takeaways on how to leverage various in-store media, including impactful in-store audio.
The Importance of Merchandising & In-Store Shopper Marketing
Promotion is a cornerstone of effective in-store shopper marketing, encompassing a range of strategies to raise awareness and generate interest in products. According to the playbook, promotion includes:
These promotional efforts inform customers about products and offers to help create a sense of urgency or exclusivity that can drive sales.
Enhancing In-Store Marketing & Collaboration
In-store marketing engages customers right when they enter a store, using techniques such as point-of-sale displays, in-store promotions, audio, and signage to attract attention and encourage purchases. Collaboration between merchants and marketing teams is crucial for optimizing in-store space, referred to as “white space.” Proper collaboration involves strategic planning to make the most of the available retail space, ensuring products are displayed to maximize visibility and appeal.
“Visual merchandising, category management, strategic product placement, timely audio messages, and thematic digital and physical displays can significantly impact sales and customer experience.”
The playbook underscores the importance of evaluating the addition of digital screens or speakers by considering their value to the customer experience and identifying which department benefits the most, helping clarify their role in influencing purchase decisions.
Addressing Complexity & Challenges
With the rise of digital technologies, the role of media in shaping merchandising and in-store marketing has grown exponentially. These innovative strategies offer new ways to engage customers, providing dynamic content that can influence purchasing decisions. These technologies enhance the customer experience and provide retailers with valuable customer preferences and behavior data. However, the playbook notes that –
“The advent of technologies enabling reverse attribution metrics opens a new frontier in understanding the consumer journey from ad exposure to in-store action.”
Leveraging Different Advertising Formats
Audio advertising in stores is a powerful tool to influence at-shelf decision-making and impulse shopping. It goes beyond background music or spoken messages, integrating with a brand’s overall in-store digital campaign to influence purchasing behavior. 73% of shoppers who hear a Vibenomics advertisement in-store purchase the advertised product or a similar one. (Vibenomics In-Store Advertising Report – Suzy Market Research, April 2024)
“Audio messaging can also drive shoppers into the aisle to purchase an item based on that virtual experience.”
Retailtainment and Experiential Activations
Retailtainment and experiential activations transform the in-store shopping experience into an engaging and memorable event.
“In-store audio plays a crucial role in these activations, enhancing the atmosphere and guiding customers through their shopping journey.”
The playbook highlights examples of “in-aisle options being developed to bring screens into the aisle,” with audio messaging driving shoppers to specific locations within the store.
Conclusion
Enhancing the in-store experience requires a multifaceted approach. From innovative merchandising strategies to effective collaboration between departments and the strategic use of in-store audio and other digital technologies, retailers have numerous tools to create a compelling and engaging environment that drives sales and fosters brand loyalty.
Stay tuned for part two, where we will dive into defining in-store retail media metrics and understanding the complexity of in-store impressions. This upcoming section will provide deeper insights into measuring the impact of in-store advertising, a critical component for any brand or retailer aiming to optimize their in-store marketing strategies. Speaking of measuring the impact of in-store advertising, be on the lookout for a revolutionary whitepaper, authored by industry leaders, that will reshape the way brands and retailers view in-store impressions!

The line between online and in-store shopping is becoming increasingly blurred in today’s digital age. As consumers navigate a world saturated with ads, the key to success is creating advertisements that are not just seen but acted upon. This is where the concept of “shoppable ads” comes into play, transforming ordinary ads into powerful drivers of purchase intent.
But first, what are shoppable ads? Shoppable ads are a form of interactive advertising that allows consumers to make purchases directly from the ad itself. These ads typically feature products or services with clickable links or buttons that take users to a website or app where they can complete the purchase immediately upon viewing. Shoppable ads can appear on various platforms, including social media, websites, and mobile apps.
In digital advertising, platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and other social channels have revolutionized how brands connect with consumers. With their highly engaging content and targeted approach, these platforms offer a unique opportunity to reach audiences. However, they often fall short of converting these interactions into sales, especially compared to in-store shopping experiences.
In-store digital advertising excels in this aspect, mainly through digital displays and audio. Unlike social media ads, which typically engage consumers while they scroll through their feeds, in-store ads connect with shoppers when they are physically near the product.
Picture a mother strolling down a grocery store aisle and encountering a digital display ad highlighting a familiar backpack brand she’s been eyeing online. The mother didn’t know that the grocery store would even sell backpacks, but now that the ad brought product awareness, she decided to go to the school supplies aisle and check out the size and quality of the backpack. She’s impressed with the backpack and throws two in her cart for her children!
What’s special about in-store ads is their ability to prompt consumers into engaging with the promoted product, allowing them to inspect the item’s quality, feel its texture, compare prices, and purchase. This immediate physical interaction and the ability to choose exactly what they want and take it home immediately is the driving force behind why 90% of purchases take place in-store (National Retail Federation).
Similarly, in-store audio advertising adds another layer of engagement, creating a seamless shopping experience. As consumers move through the store, they are accompanied by targeted audio ads that guide them directly toward relevant products and promotions. This audio backdrop enhances the shopping ambiance and prompts consumers to take action, whether trying a new product or taking advantage of a limited-time offer.
Additionally, audio can reach all four corners of the store, ensuring every consumer gets all these engaging messages. Returning to the mom in the previous example, imagine her pushing her cart down the grocery aisles, focused on her shopping list. Suddenly, she hears a cheerful voiceover promoting back-to-school backpacks over the store’s sound system. It reminds her of the upcoming school season and prompts her to check out the seasonal section. Without this audio ad, she might have overlooked the backpacks entirely. But thanks to the in-store audio ad, she remembers her need for school supplies and makes the purchase then and there!
Vibenomics recently ran a study that found 73% of consumers recalled hearing the in-store audio (Vibenomics Audio In-Store Suzy, April 2024). This highlights the effectiveness of in-store audio advertising in capturing consumer attention and creating a lasting impression, unlike online shoppable ads that may be easily forgotten once the user closes the ad.
In conclusion, while online digital ads have their place in the advertising landscape, in-store digital advertising offers a unique advantage. By reaching consumers when they are closest to the product, in-store ads transform the shopping experience into a truly “shoppable” moment. By harnessing the power of in-store digital advertising, brands can create meaningful connections with consumers and drive real-world sales like never before.

In today’s fast-paced digital age, advertisers and brands are constantly seeking innovative ways to capture consumers’ attention and drive sales. Traditional linear TV advertising has long been a staple in marketing strategies. However, a recent study by Merkle suggests that in-store advertising may be the new frontier for reaching and engaging with consumers at scale.
The study reveals that in-store media is now a primary focus for 33% of retailers, up from just 9% in 2022. Physical stores are becoming the go-to for national brands due to fast reach, high attentiveness, and younger audiences.
According to the study, in-store advertising has shown remarkable effectiveness in driving online and offline sales, outperforming linear TV advertising in several key metrics. In-store advertising is an attractive option for advertisers looking to maximize their return on investment.
The study by Merkle highlights the significant potential of in-store advertising as a powerful tool for brands looking to connect with “unreachable” audiences who are no longer easily targeted by traditional ad channels. As the retail media landscape evolves, advertisers should consider allocating more of their budget toward in-store digital advertising to capitalize on this growing trend.

Advertisers constantly seek innovative ways to capture consumers’ attention in the ever-evolving retail landscape. While visual displays have long been a staple in creating engaging in-store experiences, the synergy with in-store audio advertising has emerged as a powerful combination that elevates the overall impact on consumers’ purchase decisions.
Imagine entering a store where vibrant digital displays catch your eye, showcasing the latest products and promotions. Now, add another layer to this sensory experience – the subtle yet influential power of in-store audio advertising. Let’s explore how these two elements work in harmony to create a dynamic and immersive environment for shoppers.
Visual displays are undeniably effective in conveying information, but audio integration takes engagement to a new level. In-store audio advertising provides a multi-sensory experience, allowing businesses to communicate their brand message through visuals and carefully crafted soundscapes. The combination of sight and sound captivates consumers, making their shopping experience more memorable and enjoyable.
While digital displays communicate a brand’s identity visually, in-store audio advertising adds an auditory dimension that reinforces brand recognition. A well-designed audio ad with a distinct voice and brand creative can leave a lasting impression on consumers, helping to establish and strengthen brand identity. Consistency across visual and auditory elements enhances brand recall, fostering a deeper connection with the audience. Vibenomics found that 40% of consumers indicated that in-store audio catches their attention because it’s highlighting a brand they know and trust (Vibenomics Suzy Research Audio In-Store Report, June 2023).
Digital displays excel at presenting product information, but in-store audio advertising serves as a reinforcement mechanism. Imagine a digital display highlighting a new product while a corresponding audio ad provides additional details and directs shoppers to where the product is located in the store. This combination ensures that consumers receive comprehensive information, increases the likelihood of message retention, and in turn, has a great impact on purchase decisions.
In-store environments are not just about products but about creating an ambiance that resonates with the brand. In-store audio advertising contributes to this by setting the tone, whether it’s through curated music, narrations, or promotional messages. The fitting audio complement to visual displays can create a cohesive atmosphere that aligns with the brand’s personality and enhances the overall consumer experience.
Digital displays often incorporate calls to action, encouraging consumers to explore products or take advantage of promotions. In-store audio advertising amplifies these calls to action by adding a persuasive and dynamic element. Whether it’s prompting consumers to try a new product or announcing limited-time offers, combining visual and auditory cues increases the likelihood of customer response. Vibenomics discovered that 41% of consumers indicated that in-store audio catches their attention by introducing them to a new brand/product (Vibenomics Suzy Research Audio In-Store Report, June 2023).
The marriage of in-store audio advertising with in-store digital displays represents a dynamic duo in retail media. By leveraging the strengths of both mediums, businesses can create immersive, memorable experiences that resonate with consumers long after they leave the store. As the retail media landscape continues to evolve, the harmonious blend of audio and visual elements is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of in-store advertising.

In today’s dynamic advertising landscape, capturing consumers’ attention and delivering personalized messaging is the holy grail for brands and advertisers. Enter in-store audio, a powerful and increasingly popular tool changing the game when it comes to reaching consumers in a personalized way. Here’s how in-store audio paves the path for brands and advertisers to connect with their target audience like never before.
In-store audio has a unique advantage over other forms of advertising—it engages multiple senses simultaneously. When consumers walk into a store, they’re not just seeing products; they’re hearing messages, too. This sensory experience creates a more immersive and memorable shopping environment. By using carefully crafted audio ads, brands and advertisers can leverage this sensory immersion to capture consumers’ attention right at the point of purchase!
One size does not fit all, especially in advertising. In-store audio enables brands and advertisers to tailor their messages to reach and influence a specific consumer. For example, a grocery store that draws many health-conscious shoppers on particular days of the week can utilize in-store audio to highlight health-conscious products when these shoppers are most likely to visit. This degree of customization guarantees that the appropriate message reaches its intended audience at the optimal moment.
In-store audio allows for real-time targeting, which means brands and advertisers can respond quickly to changing conditions and consumer behaviors. For example, during a heatwave, a beverage company can promote its cold drinks through in-store audio, capitalizing on the immediate demand for refreshing beverages. Real-time targeting ensures that advertising efforts are not only personalized but also highly relevant.
Personalized messaging through in-store audio continues beyond product promotions. Brands can use this medium to engage with consumers more deeply, sharing their brand story, values, and mission. When consumers feel a personal connection with a brand, it fosters a sense of loyalty. This loyalty can lead to repeat purchases and long-term customer relationships.
Conversely, in-store audio can encourage consumers to purchase a new brand or product. P2PI’s 2023 Engaging Shoppers Report found that 37% of consumers are motivated to discover new products while shopping in-store!
Consumers today appreciate an individualized and convenient shopping experience. In-store audio contributes to this by offering helpful information, product recommendations, and entertainment while shoppers navigate the aisles. P2PI’s 2023 Engaging Shoppers Report found that four out of five shoppers enjoy seeing or hearing about available products in-store! This enhanced shopping experience not only makes consumers feel valued but also encourages them to spend more time in-store.
In-store audio is a dynamic and versatile medium that empowers brands and advertisers to connect with consumers on a deeply personal level. By engaging multiple senses, tailoring messages, and leveraging real-time targeting, brands can deliver personalized experiences that captivate and convert. Personalization not only increases sales but also fosters long-term brand loyalty, making in-store audio an invaluable asset in the modern advertising toolbox.
As technology advances, the potential for even more personalized and impactful in-store audio experiences is boundless, offering exciting opportunities for brands and advertisers to leave a lasting impression on their audience.

Retail Media has evolved beyond traditional advertising in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Brands and retailers constantly seek innovative ways to engage consumers across various channels. One strategy that’s gaining immense traction is the omnichannel approach. This approach enhances consumer experiences and drives sales and brand loyalty.
Omnichannel retail is more than just a buzzword; it’s a comprehensive strategy that seamlessly integrates all marketing channels throughout the shopping journey. Brands strive to provide a consistent and unified shopping experience with brick-and-mortar stores, e-commerce websites, mobile apps, and social media platforms.
A successful omnichannel strategy requires a deep understanding of the modern customer. Today’s consumers are tech-savvy and demand convenience, personalization, and immediate access to information. According to DevPro Journals’ Consumer Product Content Benchmark Report (2022), 81% of consumers expect uniformity in a brand’s product content experience across all touchpoints. Retailers that can meet these expectations are better poised for success.
The omnichannel approach is no longer a choice but a necessity for businesses looking to thrive in the digital age. By harnessing customer data, providing seamless shopping experiences, personalizing content, and leveraging real-time analytics, retailers can meet the evolving demands of modern consumers and gain a competitive edge in the retail landscape. It’s time to embrace the omnichannel revolution and unlock the full potential of Retail Media!

The retail industry is on the cusp of a significant transformation as we approach 2024. Technology advancements are reshaping the way consumers interact with and shop for products. The following trends are set to redefine the in-store experience:
As consumer expectations continue to shift, retailers are finding innovative ways to bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms. In-store audio will be pivotal in driving a store’s digitization efforts. In-store audio ads enhance the overall shopping experience by providing relevant product information, promotions, and announcements directly to customers’ ears. This personalized approach not only improves customer engagement but influences purchase decisions.
In-store audio ads are becoming an indispensable tool for retailers looking to embrace digitization. These strategically placed advertisements within physical retail environments offer a seamless connection between the tangible and the digital. This technology harnesses the power of sound to engage customers in a more personalized and meaningful way.
Digital signage will also play a key role in driving a store’s digitization efforts. Interactive display ads will engage and inform shoppers, providing real-time product information, promotions, and even suggestions. These digital displays will serve as valuable touchpoints for brands to connect with consumers at the point of purchase.
Advertising is no longer limited to a single channel. The omnichannel approach aims to provide customers with a consistent and integrated shopping experience, whether in-store or online. According to DevPro Journals’ Consumer Product Content Benchmark Report (2022), a staggering 81% of consumers expect uniformity in a brand’s product content experience across all touchpoints.
In-store audio ads are vital in helping stores seamlessly adopt this approach. Audio ads positioned strategically within physical stores, these audio ads effectively bridge the gap between the in-store experience and onsite and offsite channels. They offer customers valuable information about products and promotions, ensuring a cohesive brand experience across all shopping avenues.
Consumers today appreciate a personalized and convenient shopping experience. In-store audio enables brands and advertisers to tailor their messages to the specific context and audience. For example, consider a Los Angeles grocery store that attracts a majority of health conscious shoppers; they can utilize in-store audio to advertise a special offer on organic produce. In contrast, a suburban Chicago grocery store, whose primary shoppers are mothers, can use in-store audio to promote discounted snack packs for children’s lunches. This personalized approach ensures that the right message reaches consumers at the right time!
In the age of data-driven marketing, personalization is critical. By analyzing a retailer’s first-party data, brands can target shoppers with ads that align with their interests and buying habits. This level of personalization increases the likelihood of making a sale and fosters a deeper connection between the customer and the brand.
However, as we move toward these exciting trends, there are some considerations to keep in mind:
2024 is poised to revolutionize the retail industry. With the digitization of in-store, an omnichannel approach, and an unwavering focus on personalization, consumers can anticipate a more convenient, engaging, and tailored shopping journey. As retailers embrace these trends, they are adapting to changing consumer needs and shaping the future of in-store shopping!
