The Sights and Sounds of Retail Media In-Store

Supercharge Your Social Strategy With In-Store Advertising

You’ve nailed your social media strategy, partnered with the perfect influencers, and your online buzz is building. But what happens when those eager customers walk into a physical store? Are you maximizing your impact at the crucial point of purchase? The answer might lie in a powerful, often overlooked synergy: the fusion of your social strategy with impactful in-store advertising.

Recent data from Vibenomics Social & Influencer Marketing Shopping Behaviors Report illuminates the incredible potential of this connection, especially when it comes to influencer marketing. Let’s dive into the numbers and see how you can supercharge your in-store sales.

1. The Power of Influencer Recommendations In-Store

Think about this: 85% of consumers indicated their purchase of a specific product in-store was due to an influencer’s review or recommendation. That’s a massive pull! Your influencer campaigns are driving desire, but are you capitalizing on that desire at the shelf?

In-Store Advantage: Imagine a shopper browsing the beverage aisle. Suddenly, an overhead audio ad plays a snippet of their favorite fitness influencer raving about the crisp, refreshing taste of a particular energy drink. This audio reinforces the influencer’s positive review they saw online, making the purchase decision feel like a natural next step. Complement this with a vibrant display featuring the influencer’s image and a QR code linking to their full review, and watch those carts fill up!

2. Aligning In-Store with Influencer Strengths

The same report revealed the top-ranked factors for consumers making a purchase decision based on an influencer’s review or recommendation: 

  1. The Discount or Promotion shared by the influencer
  2. The Influencer’s credibility
  3. The Influencer’s connection to the product.

In-Store Advantage: In-store advertising is the perfect platform to amplify these key drivers. Let’s say a beauty influencer, known for their authentic and honest reviews, partners with a woman-owned skincare brand. An in-store audio ad can clearly announce the exclusive discount code the influencer shared with their followers, reminding shoppers to take advantage of the offer right then and there, as well as the importance of supporting a woman-owned beauty company. Simultaneously, strategically placed shelf talkers can feature a quote from skincare brand’s founder, bolstering their credibility at the moment of consideration. Eye-catching displays can even showcase the influencer using the product, visually reinforcing their connection.

3. A Tangible Touchpoint for Social Buzz

The data speaks volumes: 87% of consumers said that In-Store Ads (overhead audio, displays, etc.) have the biggest impact on consumers’ in-store purchase decisions, and a remarkable 81% said Influencer Promotions or Recommendations have the biggest impact. This isn’t an either/or scenario; it’s a powerful “and.”

In-Store Advantage: In-store audio can act as the ultimate call to action for your influencer campaigns. Imagine an audio ad that not only highlights an influencer’s favorite features of their go-to snack product, but also directs shoppers to a specific aisle and shelf location in the store. This audio guidance transforms online interest into tangible in-store action. Paired with digital displays showcasing influencer-created content or user-generated content inspired by the influencer, you create a seamless and compelling journey from social feed to shopping cart.

Final Thoughts

Don’t let your brilliant social and influencer marketing efforts stop at the store entrance. By strategically integrating engaging in-store advertising, particularly the persuasive power of audio, you can amplify your influencer’s message, connect with consumers at the critical point of purchase, and ultimately, supercharge your social strategy. It’s time to bridge the digital and physical worlds and unlock the full potential of your multi-channel campaigns.

Myth Busters: In-Store Advertising

In-store advertising has always been integral to the retail experience, yet misconceptions about its effectiveness persist. Let’s set the record straight by busting some common myths and highlighting the truth behind digital in-store media.

Myth 1: It isn’t easy to measure the effectiveness of in-store advertising. 

Many believe in-store advertising is challenging to track, measure, and optimize – but this is far from the truth. By collaborating with strategic partners like Pathformance, advertisers can overcome inconsistent measurement methods by enabling accurate measurement of the incremental impact of in-store campaigns.

Leveraging key partners, advertisers are empowered to make data-informed decisions  by analyzing a wide range of key metrics, including:

This approach builds on traditional matched-market testing methods that marketers have relied on for decades while incorporating real-time data for more actionable insights. These advancements have made in-store advertising more attributable and, ultimately, more efficient.

Myth 2: Retail media only includes onsite and offsite tactics.

While most brand leaders recognize the importance of capturing demand through onsite ads and extending those campaigns through offsite media to maximize reach, in-store is a vital component of the marketing equation. The real opportunity lies in physical stores—where 84% of sales transactions occur. Consumers browsing in-store are incredibly receptive to brand messaging, making it the ideal place for product discovery and purchase decisions.

The retail media boom may have started with the activation of onsite and offsite campaigns, but the next evolution is a connected and impactful multi-channel approach including digital in-store advertising. Brick-and-mortar stores offer active shoppers the most contextually relevant environment, allowing brands to engage customers in real-time, driving awareness and conversion. Digital in-store advertising is the essential third leg of the retail media stool.

Imagine a busy mother of three scrolling through a grocery retailer’s app and seeing a sponsored “grab and go” dinner she recognizes but hasn’t considered. Later, she drives past a billboard ad for the same product aimed at parents commuting to work, reinforcing the brand’s presence. After work, she stops by the store, where an in-store display and audio ad highlight the product’s convenience and variety at the critical moment—right at the point of purchase. How quickly do you think she put that product in her cart?

Myth 3: In-store can only be utilized for bottom-of-funnel advertising.

In-store media is often viewed as a bottom-of-the-funnel tactic to influence purchase decisions and convert shoppers into loyal customers. However, its true power lies in its ability to transform shoppers at every stage of the journey. Unlike the cluttered digital space, in-store audio reaches a highly captive audience and can be strategically targeted based on location, time of day, and specific shopping behaviors.

In-store advertising doesn’t just increase sales—it shapes customer preferences, drives awareness for new products, reinforces brand messaging, and guides purchase decisions in real-time. Whether it’s a national campaign across thousands of stores or a hyper-localized message tailored to a specific region, the impact of in-store audio is enduring, reaching far beyond just the final purchase.

Here are a few real-life examples of how brands have successfully leveraged in-store advertising to educate, engage, and influence shoppers right at the point of purchase: 

  1. A multinational CPG company effectively utilized in-store audio to amplify its Zero Hunger, Zero Waste campaign, highlighting its sustainability efforts. This strategy increased brand awareness and drove a notable uptick in in-store sales.
  2. An iconic cereal and breakfast brand tapped into the power of in-store advertising to showcase newly released product flavors. The campaign successfully boosted product awareness and significantly encouraged in-store purchases.
  3. A top pet food brand strategically used in-store audio to highlight its premium holiday treats, enhancing brand recognition and influencing pet owners’ purchase decisions at the shelf.
  4. A popular fresh, frozen, and refrigerated chicken brand implemented in-store audio to promote its microwavable chicken products. The campaign helped drive increased foot traffic and positively impacted in-store sales during the promotion period.

Final Thoughts

In-store advertising is a dynamic, measurable, and versatile tool that can influence consumers throughout the entire sales funnel. Combined with a well-rounded omnichannel strategy, it can significantly boost customer engagement and sales outcomes. So, the next time someone tells you that in-store advertising is challenging to measure or not essential to advertisers, you’ll know better!

2025: The Year Retail Media Finds Its True North

At a moment when digital advertising feels more uncertain than ever, industry experts point to an unlikely hero — the physical store — to resolve retail media’s biggest challenges.

Retail media’s ascent shows no signs of slowing. With 26% growth in 2024 and projections showing that one in five advertising dollars will flow through retail media networks (RMNs) by 2028, the channel’s momentum is undeniable. Yet beneath these impressive numbers lies a more nuanced reality: Retail media stands at a crossroads.

The same qualities that propelled retail media’s rise — rich customer data, direct sales attribution, and precise targeting — are facing fresh scrutiny in 2025 as privacy regulations reshape how retailers collect and use consumer data. Measurement standards remain fragmented across networks. And while digital retail media commands attention, physical stores — reaching over 170 million unique shoppers monthly — represent an underutilized advertising opportunity.

These challenges will drive RMNs to adapt their strategies in 2025, emphasizing privacy compliance, standardized measurement, and in-store advertising advantages. The networks that successfully address these areas will create a stronger foundation for sustained growth in the retail media space.

RMNs Will Rethink Data Collection

The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) takes effect in October 2025, bringing new rules for how RMNs handle customer data. While most networks currently gather extensive personal information, MODPA encourages retailers to rethink whether knowing every detail of consumers’’ lives is necessary for effective targeted advertising.

The timing of this data simplification coincides with broader digital advertising changes around cookie policies and tracking. RMNs enter this period with a built-in advantage: their direct customer relationships. As other advertising channels scramble to maintain targeting capabilities, retail media’s foundation in first-party data ensures stability and continued value.

Physical stores will emerge as the natural testing ground for this privacy-focused shift in the coming year. Rather than building detailed personal profiles, RMNs can leverage store location, time of day, and current shopping behavior as robust data for relevant advertising without compromising privacy. Through this approach, retailers create powerful campaigns that maintain customer loyalty. Moving into 2025, RMNs embracing contextual relevance stand ready to meet stricter privacy standards and changing customer expectations.

New Standards Will Make In-Store Media More Measurable

In 2025, RMNs will face a persistent challenge: fragmented measurement systems that make it difficult for brands to compare campaign performance across stores. The current state, where each retailer uses different methods to track impressions, bears a striking resemblance to radio’s pre-Arbitron era when stations lacked unified audience measurement standards.

Standardized measurement becomes essential as brands invest more heavily in retail media. Retailers must demonstrate real campaign impact and move beyond basic measurements like spots per hour or loop counts. New measurement frameworks can help brands understand how in-store audio and digital displays influence purchasing decisions at different points in the shopping journey.

The push for standardization addresses a core challenge: proving how in-store campaigns drive incremental sales. When retailers measure performance consistently, brands gain more precise insights into which store locations, times, and messages generate the most substantial results. This data-driven clarity helps justify increased investment in RMNs.

Unified omnichannel measurement also strengthens the connection between digital and physical retail touchpoints. By tracking how customers interact with ads across on-site, off-site, and in-store channels, retailers can demonstrate the combined impact of their media offerings. This holistic view helps brands optimize their spend across the entire media ecosystem.

In-Store Media Will Drive RMN Value

Rising inflation and economic pressures continue to influence consumer shopping habits. This cost-conscious mindset makes the physical store a crucial battleground in 2025 as consumers weigh decisions between branded and private-label products. While digital channels compete for fragmented consumer attention, brick-and-mortar spaces capture shoppers actively making purchase decisions.

Brand safety concerns in digital advertising are intensifying, pushing more advertising dollars toward controlled retail environments. Cases of online ads appearing alongside controversial content will prompt CMOs to seek safer alternatives. In-store advertising provides this security, offering brands guaranteed placement in brand-safe contexts.

The advantage extends beyond safety to effectiveness. In-store media reaches shoppers in “discovery mode” — the crucial moments when they’re actively evaluating products at the point of purchase. This immediacy creates more impact than traditional advertising channels like TV or social media, where consumers often scroll past branded content.

RMNs that recognize the opportunity to connect with shoppers in brand-safe, measurable environments will prioritize strengthening their omnichannel strategies. By combining digital targeting precision with strategically placed in-store audio and display messaging, retailers can enhance the customer experience while offering brands something unique: the ability to influence decisions at the exact moment of choice.

Conclusion

RMNs will succeed through more straightforward data practices, precise measurement, and strategic in-store advertising. As retailers balance privacy requirements with proof of performance, physical stores will take on renewed importance in the omnichannel marketing mix. Those who adapt to these changes — focusing on contextual relevance over personal data collection, standardized measurement over fragmented metrics, and controlled environments over uncertain digital spaces — will help shape retail media’s next chapter.

The Power of Choice and Scale in Programmatic Advertising

You are driving home from work contemplating what you will fix for dinner tonight, when you pass a billboard on the side of the road prompting you to pick up ingredients for your favorite casserole before calling it a day. On your commute to work the next morning, the same billboard shows an ad for breakfast biscuits, reminding you that you forgot to grab breakfast on the way out the door. So, you pull over to the nearest convenience store and make an impulsive purchase as a result of seeing the ad. This is the power of programmatic advertising

Programmatic advertising is the method of purchasing and trading digital media using technology to execute buying commands through a public platform. Buying digital media in an automated fashion allows advertisers to purchase in an efficient and effective manner. Traditional Out-of-Home advertising methods were stagnant – billboards and signage that presented the same ad for months on end to a broad, catch-all audience. Today, various forms of Digital Out-of-Home advertising enable advertisers to programmatically target the right audience, in the right place, at the right time. Through the years, consumers have changed their media consumption, with more consumption going digital. Instead of traditional methods, consumers have fragmented their media behavior and consumption across a plethora of screens and mobile devices. With the movement to digital advertising, programmatic now accounts for over half of digital advertisement placements.

The power of programmatic lies in choice and scale. With programmatic, the advertiser chooses what ad impressions they want instead of the publisher doing it for them. Programmatic allows advertisers to engage with consumers at different points along the path to purchase, providing the greatest opportunity to influence purchase decisions. This choice in ad placement allows advertisers to be seen and heard in the right place, at the right time, by the right audience. Thus, the power of choice in programmatic has the ability to increase return on ad spend (ROAS) given that brands reach the type of impressions they are intending to land. Not only does programmatic impact sales, it provides insights and analysis on how the ads are performing. Purchasing programmatically offers marketers and advertisers insight of what channels are worth investing in and how it affects a brand’s media mix.

The reach and scale of programmatic through public platforms provides ample opportunities for brands to reach their targeted audiences beyond the initial publisher or website. To put it into perspective, Facebook reaches an audience of 2.31 billion per day and YouTube reaches an audience of 1 billion per day with their advertisements. Programmatic platform, The Trade Desk, however, reaches over 4 billion potential consumers per day. The omnichannel approach of programmatic advertising ensures that retailers’ targeted audiences will receive relevant ads regarding products or services they are likely to purchase, rather than random, overarching advertisements that do not provide as much value to them as a consumer. This method shares a more holistic view of the customer, reaching them with the same ad on multiple devices simultaneously. 

The future of advertising is programmatic. The ability to choose, on a large scale, when and where your audience will encounter your advertisements is a major contributor to increased brand recognition and sales. Vibenomics, the pioneer in Audio Out-of-Home Advertising, provides brands with a programmatic offering that allows advertisements to be heard by target consumers directly at the point of purchase when propensity to spend is highest.

Vibenomics Expands Programmatic Offerings with Launch of Open Exchange and Private Marketplace Deals via Vistar Media
