13、a and why is it important?Retail media is advertising within a retailers ecommerce website or apps.Its typically sold by retailers to brands who wish to boost visibility on the digital shelf and promote their brands in a more focused way to a targeted audience and as close to the point of sale as po

14、ssible.If a retailer has shoppers searching for a particular product and can map media assets to that product,retailers are equipped with the capabilities to become a media platform.This is what is now called a Retail Media Network(RMN)the advertising platform that enables a retailer to sell ad spac

19、media is a fast-growing advertising channel,so many retailers are still coming to grips with the opportunity.There is currently,for instance,a lack of standardisation of advertising units and slots available from retailers.The typical retail media formats are split into onsite,offsite and instore.On

20、site This includes ad placements directly on the retailers digital properties web,apps and even email newsletters across banner ads,sponsored product listings,search result placements and native advertising within product pages.Offsite This extends the reach of RMNs beyond the retailers owned proper

22、.Offline/instore While primarily digital,RMNs are starting to integrate physical store experiences such as instore displays that can showcase targeted advertising based on shopper demographics or location within the store.This can extend beyond instore screens and displays to instore radio services,

23、Point of Sale(PoS)and receipt real estate,instore magazines and shelf screens.Other digital inventory RMNs are exploring other areas such as integration with social media platforms,allowing brands to leverage retailer data for targeted advertising within social media feeds.Connected TV(CTV)services

24、delivered through the internet are opening up to retail media,as are traditional,linear TV services.There is also the possibility of placing ads through voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Home,with RMNs incorporating voice-activated advertising opportunities within the shopping journey.The pow

31、nue to take the lions share of revenues for the foreseeable future thanks to it typically having much higher margins and the direct access to shoppers that it gives.Retail media in digital marketingThe rapid rise of retail media can clearly be seen in how it has shifted from being a minor 15%part of

32、 digital ad spend in 2018,to consistently taking around 20%of total digital ad spend across 2020 to 2023.This is significant because it reinforces not only how retailers keenly exploit their data but also how brands and ad agencies are also seeing retail media as a key channel for engagement with co

33、nsumers.The consistency of the proportion of spend also indicates that it is seen by the agency and brand world as a key part of a broader ad strategy.Retailers can take heart from having cemented their place at the centre of brand marketing.For marketers,the way they spend on retail media is also c

34、hanging,shifting to being a greater part of their ad spend between 2022 and 2024.Almost a third of marketers are looking to shift their spending towards retailer media,with 28%of them looking to commit 6%to 10%of their budgets to it,compared with 19%in 2022,and 28%looking to take up to 20%,compared

35、to just 6%in 2022.Those prepared to spend more than 40%of their digital ad budgets on retail media has grown from zero to 6%since 2022,marking out how for some,retail media is now a significant part of their spend2.Retail media has been part of the digital marketing pantheon for many years and has u

36、nderpinned Amazons business model for more than a decade the buy box approach pioneered by the marketplace giant effectively being a sponsored products option.However,since the pandemic,growth has exploded,with interest in its use becoming fevered in the past three years.Yet an actual monetary value

37、 for the global retail media market is hard to define,since many of the retailers taking part in it dont necessarily report their specific retail media revenues as part of their results.However,looking at the numbers that are available,we can deduce that reported revenues totally around$153bn,having

38、 grown by$18bn 13.7%in a year.Predictions forecast that it will hit$177bn in 2025 and reach more than$231bn by the end of the decade1.While these are only representative of reported numbers and the actual total is likely far higher,these number reflect the growth rate and overall trajectory of the s

39、ector.Of this,some 80%is generated by onsite retail media sales2 while in Europe,26%of retailers and retail media networks reported that on-site ads accounted for 51%or more of their 2024 retail media revenue3.Challenges in the retail media marketDespite its strong growth and increasing popularity,r

40、etail media still faces some challenges.Fragmentation A rapidly increasing number of retail media networks has led to a fragmented landscape,making it difficult for brands to manage campaigns across multiple platforms.There is also a gap between the large market leading players and smaller more nich

41、e retailers,as we shall see later in this report.Lack of standardisation There is an absence of uniform metrics and measurement standards across different retail media networks,which hinders effective comparison and evaluation of campaign performance.This holds back investment by brands since measur

42、ing effectiveness of spend is hard to measure and even more difficult to compare across different networks,regions and more.Budget allocation As we have seen,retail media looks set to garner 20%of overall digital marketing budgets.While this will be more money as overall budgets rise,brand marketers

43、 are currently reluctant to shift more until they get better metrics.For now,brands are primarily relying on shopper marketing and trade budgets to fund retail media growth,showing reluctance to tap into other funding sources without seeing significant improvements in results.Complexity for CPG bran

44、ds Consumer packaged goods(CPG)companies face challenges in planning and measuring campaigns effectively across multiple retailers.This is again because of fragmentation and the lack of standards in the industry,as well as perceived issues with delayed reporting and the6|RetailMedia|February 2025Sub

46、ting mix and measure its impact alongside other channels.Lower click-through rates Despite being an important and growing part of digital marketing and a much-needed ancillary revenue stream for many retailers,click-through rates for retail media ads are quite low.In the second quarter of 2024,click

47、-through rates(CTR)for these ads stood at around 0.39%5.This compares poorly with,say Google Ads,which see a CTR of more than 6%.However its important to note that Retail Media ads serve a different purpose,often focusing on product discovery.Key playersThe retail media market is made up of a very l

48、ong tail of retailers across all retail sectors but it is,currently,dominated by a few giant players who account for the bulk of all revenues.The largest player in the market overall is Amazon,which has an approximate 75%market share and generated around$57.2bn from retail media in 2024.It has unpar

49、alleled scale and huge amounts of customer data.It is also making further inroads into the market with the launch of Amazon Retail Ads,which was created to help smaller retailers leverage Amazons retail and brand database to make money from retail media.Behind Amazon come other big names all in the

50、US that take single digit percentages of the market.Chief among these is Walmart,with its Walmart Connect network accounting for 7%of the market,thanks mainly to Walmarts huge bricks-and-mortar store presence,where instore retail media is highly effective,but where onsite ads on Walmarts digital pro

51、perties drive customer to make purchases.Behind this come retailer Target,which leverages its huge,pan-US high value customer base to sell targeted ads led by fashion and apparel.Next,Kroger leverages its prominence in US grocery to leverage CPG advertising.Globally,Chinese sites such as Pinduoduo a

52、nd Alibaba are starting to become heavy hitters as Retail Media expands beyond the pioneering market of the US.Several major European retailers,such as the UKs Tesco and Frances Carrefour,are also using their dominance in their countrys grocery market to create strong onsite retail media business.Th

53、e power of retail media is even extending to companies that have rich first-party consumer data and large customer bases but which arent retailers in the conventional sense.Hotel chains,airlines,online taxis,food delivery firms and even mobile network operators are getting in on the ad trend,shiftin

57、E DISPLAY ADVERTISING Onsite display ads are digital advertisements shown on a retailers website or mobile app.They are the online equivalent of shelf-talkers or point-of-sale displays in physical stores,designed to capture shoppers attention while they browse,or shop online.These ads can appear as

58、banners,tiles or interactive formats on high-traffic areas such as home pages,category pages,search results and product detail pages.How it worksOnsite display ads leverage the retailers first-party data to target shoppers based on their real-time browsing behaviour,purchase history and preferences.

59、This ensures that the ads are highly relevant and personalised.Retailers use advanced ad tech platforms to manage these campaigns,enabling dynamic features such as real-time pricing updates and add to cart buttons.These ads aim to influence purchase decisions at critical moments in the shoppers jour

60、ney.This is often at the bottom of the funnel,where consumers are close to making a purchase,although they can appear anywhere from the home page through to the payment page.The location of these ads is dependent on where the retailer deems it most appropriate to feature them based on how its machin

61、e learning applies its data to each shopper.It is also dependent on what the retailer and,more importantly,the advertising brand,wants to achieve.Goals for brands and retailersFor brands,there are a number of considerations as to how to use onsite display ads in retail media networks,including:Incre

65、gement metrics Click-through rates(CTR)and time spent interacting with the ad are perhaps the most crucial measures of success for retail media onsite display ads since they give an indication of how attractive the ad is to shoppers and how likely they are to be drawn away from the page they are on

66、to consider the product or offer.They are both measures of intent.Conversion rates The percentage of users who make a purchase after engaging with the ad is a second step in this process as it measures actual action in buying the advertised goods.Engagement is important but,in most cases,an actual s

70、s a significant opportunity for brands to guide customers through their product discovery journey1.As a result,the success of these ads is attributed to their ability to reach high intent shoppers at a critical point in their purchasing decision,often resulting in higher conversion rates compared to

71、 other forms of advertising.For example,Amazon Advertising(see page 26)made more than$50bn in revenues in 2024 a 22%growth on top of the previous stellar years.During an analyst call about the results in late 2024,Amazon management indicated that Sponsored Product growth continued to be the main dri

73、references.When a customer searches for a product,relevant sponsored ads are shown alongside organic results.These ads often use machine learning to optimise performance in real-time,improving ad outcomes significantly.These ads are typically displayed at the top,bottom or interspersed within organi

74、c search results,and are labelled as sponsored or advertisement to distinguish them from regular listings.Just like advertising on Google or other search engines,these formats can be targeted by keywords and are presented to shoppers when they search for a product or need using onsite search.Sponsor

75、ed product ads appear on search,category pages and product detail pages and are the biggest format in retail media advertising.They are sold as cost-per-click.However,it is worth noting that search works a little differently at every retailer so to win,advertisers need to understand the search drive

76、r priorities of the retailer.This can be any combination of keywords,name and content,sales,conversion,content,taxonomy(how products are classified),clicks and traffic.Goals for brands and retailersFor brands,there are clear advantages to using sponsored product search ads,typically delivering:Incre

77、ase product visibility and discovery When shoppers are searching,they are very much engaged with the retailer and are looking to buy,so surfacing the most relevant products at that point is highly advantageous and often more likely to yield results.Immediate conversion These types of ads served at t

79、 buy but to also discover or fall back in love with a brand due to relevance.New products can build awareness and trialling at a much lower cost than offline channels.Stand out from competitors Advertisers can target consumers who are looking at competitor products on certain Retail Media Networks.A

80、dvantages over other media Attribution,control and transparency are much better in Retail Media than in traditional approaches to trade spending,sponsorships,events and promotions.9|RetailMedia|February 2025Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 ONSITE|DEFINITIONS&MODELSFor retailers,the advantag

82、ectiveness of onsite search advertising and sponsored products shares many of the tropes of onsite display advertising in terms of CTR,conversion rates and ROAS,as previously outlined.However,there are some specific differences with search to display,including:Conversion rates The measure of how oft

88、dent on one type of(very powerful)ad unit based on search.So,how do you grow search advertising with retail media networks?There are three key steps:#1 Look the search technology being used:Sarah Mackinnon,product marketing director,Pentaleap says that:“Retail media networks use similar sophisticate

89、d tech to Google for organic products,combining keywords with contextual and behavioural data to ensure relevance”.However,“ads on these networks are often delivered through basic ad servers,detached from this advanced organic search tech”.In other words,when a user enters a complex search,the ad se

90、rver,relying solely on keywords,may miss relevant matchesresulting in lost ad revenue.#2 Adjustable ad placements:adjust ad positions within the grid based on a mix of ad relevance and organic content.Data from Pentaleap shows these“fluid”placements can more than double click-through rates compared

91、to static,fixed placements.Retailers using dynamic placements often have more available space per page,allowing for a greater number of ads without disrupting the shopping experience.#3 The keyword that matters relevance:Shoppers dont mind sponsored product advertising as long as those products meet

92、 their needs.When relevance is prioritised,engagement increases,click-through rates improve,and conversions rise.Advertisers also benefit,as their ads reach a more targeted,engaged audience,driving higher returns on their investment.Relevance is more than just a filter on which products to showits a

93、bout keeping the customer experience central to every decision.Without relevance,even the most sophisticated retail media efforts will struggle to maintain long-term value.#4 Invest in search ad relevance:More than a quarter of search ad revenue now happens on ecommerce sites,according to Emarketer.

94、However,according to retail media expert Andrew Lipsman,retail media search isnt always that great;queries often return results only tangentially related to the shoppers search query.This creates a CX problem that can both alienate shoppers over time and leave ad revenue on the table.Amazon gets awa

112、lity measurement of retail media is investments will be essential to its continued growth.What are the approaches to measure incrementality?Experts all have their own opinions on which methods are best when measuring incrementality,but they all involve a combination of testing and experimentation.Pa

113、ul Dahill of Koddi suggests five approaches:1.Geo Holdouts Run campaigns in some regions while keeping others as control,then compare sales lift.2.A/B Testing Split audiences randomly into test(exposed)and control(unexposed)groups,then measure the difference in outcomes.3.Pre/Post Analysis Compare s

114、ales before and after a campaign,adjusting for seasonality and trends.4.Matched Market Testing Select similar markets,run media in one but not the other,and analyse the lift.5.Media Mix Modelling(MMM)Statistical modelling to quantify the impact of media spend while accounting for other marketing fac

115、tors.For digital media,Dahill points out that A/B Testing is the most rigorous for measuring true incrementality,directly measuring causality,but is harder to execute at scale.Even if you understand incrementality,what are your going to use it for:the answer is better marketing decisions.Thats the t

116、opline outcome.But there are distinctions within this topic.The key question isnt whether a single ad led to a saleits whether your overall investment in a campaign,ad product,or strategy is driving additional sales that wouldnt have happened otherwise.To make informed decisions,start by identifying

117、 the level at which you need insights.1.Campaign-level decisions:expand or cut?Example:You test whether boosting a retail media campaign spend by 10%results in a proportional lift in sales.2.Ad product-level decisions:where to allocate budget?Example:You might find that Sponsored Display takes longe

123、 up where on the site they appear to reach relevant shoppers at every stage of the onsite buying journey.This is also an important way to work out which types of ads work with what products,which helps to continually refine each campaign.Full funnel and continuous presence The full site approach sho

124、uld be viewed through the lens of making sure that onsite retail media campaigns target right across the sales funnel,not just at the bottom.This ensures that shoppers will see adverts at various stages of their shopping journey,building subliminal and real awareness of your brand,product or specifi

125、c offer.This also has to be seen as part of a continuous presence,or at least across the lifetime of the brand or product campaign.Understand that it is important to experiment with onsite retail media,especially if you are new to using it,since it does take time to yield results.Strategic timing Th

126、at said,timing is everything.Targeting shoppers when they are in the mindset to purchase is vital,so brand advertisers need to work with retailers to best leverage the data the retail has to deliver contextual and timed adverts in the shopping journey.This is often as simple as targeting an ad to a

127、specific onsite page or location that is relevant to that ads content advertising a new cereal in the breakfast section of the website or it can draw more deeply on the retailer data to be more specifically targeted to certain shoppers reaching a certain place or page.Personalisation All of the abov

128、e relies on leveraging the retailers first-party data to deliver highly personalised ads based on customer behaviour and context.This can run from simple contextual targeting and keyword search that targets relevant ads at shoppers who search for specific types of product or it can dig deeper into u

129、nderstanding where a particular customer is in the shopping journey and correlating that to what they or similar shoppers have done before.This can be used to target the right kind of ad,product or offer at the right part of the journey for that specific shopper,as we shall see later in this report.

130、Performance monitoring and testing Setting appropriate KPIs and measuring how the whole campaign is performing is essential to understanding and constantly adapting onsite retail media campaigns.The more data you can gather on performance over the retail cycle from peak to peak,the better you can un

131、derstand what works and how and when to deploy which kinds of adverts with which retailers.It is also important to test and adjust and adapt strategies based on how ads are received by target audiences.Adequate budget allocation All this isnt necessarily going to be cheap,so brands engaging in onsit

132、e retail media must ensure that healthy budgets are allocated to the whole campaign including to ongoing performance monitoring and testing in order to achieve success.It is also important to make budget available so that the brand can make a play in any relevant and emergent auction on retailer sit

133、es.Brand safety considerations Within all this,brands must ensure that ads are placed in brand-safe environments to maintain brand integrity.13|RetailMedia|February 2025Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 How retailers can deliver success While brands have defined goals from their marketing st

134、rategies and will have clear success factors to measure when using onsite retail media,retailers themselves also need to assess the success of their retail media offerings and adjust accordingly.To ensure they are offering brands the best onsite Retail Media offering,retailers must measure several k

135、ey success factors:Return on ad spend(ROAS)This metric indicates how effectively the ads are driving sales for brands,with onsite ads typically delivering higher ROAS compared to offsite placements(see page 23).While not the be-all-and-end-all of measuring retail media success,it is a good barometer

136、 of how well it is working.Conversion rates A measure of the percentage of ad viewers who make a purchase reflects the effectiveness of targeting and ad relevance.Taken alongside ROAS,this can help form a picture of how well a retailers onsite retail media offering is servicing its clients.Click-thr

137、ough rates(CTR)As with all online advertising,tracking how engaging the ads are in prompting user interaction shows how well they are working in terms of positioning and messaging.Using CTR and conversion together shows how well the programme works to deliver engagement that then turns into sales.Au

138、dience reach and engagement Allied to CTR,assessing the number of unique visitors exposed to ads and their level of interaction is another useful way to see how engaging the positioning and ad content down to the brands using the real estate actually are.It is also important to assess how tailored t

139、he ads are to individual shoppers,based on first-party data and real-time behaviour.Sales lift and revenue growth Quantifying the incremental sales generated directly from retail media campaigns is a measure of success of the retail media offering from the retailer.Likewise,ad revenue growth can sho

140、w how popular the Retail Media network offering is among brands.The more demand,the higher the chargeable rate for that real estate and,hence,an indication of the networks success.It is important here to also track how effectively available ad space is being monetised,potentially using machine learn

141、ing to optimise performance.Cross-channel performance Measuring how onsite ads complement and enhance performance across other channels in an omnichannel strategy can also give an insight into how well a retail media offering onsite works more holistically within the whole retail business.Customer l

142、ifetime value:Measuring how this impacts the long-term customer loyalty and repeat purchases habits across the whole business as well as how it drives repeat business among advertisers and brands is a longer term way to view the success of a retail media network among brands and customers.ONSITE|SUC

144、oducts in the shopping basket and growing category share.So,where do you start if you want to achieve any of these goals?Here are four basic steps.Step 1:Understand the shopper journeyFirst understand the shopper journey.Next,understand the target retailers digital commerce store and then the retail

145、 media advertising on offers.Take for example,grocery shopping.Shoppers will have different motivations and mindsets:One shopper might be looking for inspiration and ideas of what to eat for dinner Another might be walking the virtual aisles to find an old favourite A third might be creating a weekl

146、y shop,filling a virtual basket with shopping that spans both food and non-food items Now that you see how target shopper mindsets can be different,a better way of creating our strategy is to know our shopper mission.Why are they shopping?Is it Speed To get in and out as soon as possible?Price To fi

147、nd the best deal?Inspiration Does our shopper want to learn about new products?Time of day Is our shopper wanting to buy lunch,dinner or just a quick snack?The great benefit of retail media is that it can meet the shopper whatever their shopper mission might be.Step 2:Know your brand objectivesOf co

148、urse,its not enough to know your shopper,you must also know your brand objectives.What are yours?As a retailer,you should define the end goal in advance:Define which brands and SKUs are a priority Know what challenge you are trying to address or which problem you are trying to fix Is it increased br

149、and awareness?Greater uptake?Or an increased purchase frequency?Step 3:Walk the store onlineJust as we should walk around a bricks-and-mortar store to find out how shoppers shop,a great tactic is to do the same online.Follow in the footsteps of digital shoppers to understand the experience of ecomme

154、FACTORS:DATAData success factorsThere are many things that drive a successful onsite retail media offering,with data at the forefront.What does a successful data strategy look like?Data is the foundation of retail media.So what data do retailers have?How can it be monetised through onsite advertisin

155、g?And,more crucially,how can a retailer make the most of its first-party data while still protecting the privacy of its customers?What data?Retailers have a wealth of customer data that grows all the time as customers interact with retailers more,both on and offline.Every one of these interactions c

156、an be measured in some way and can deliver an increasingly detailed view of the entire customer base,its individual cohorts and even down to individual preferences.This,in essence,is what Retail Media sells a way of connecting brands with the right customer at the right moment in their shopping jour

157、ney.Typically,this data comes from a variety of sources,both on and offline,although increasingly,a combination of the two,since shoppers are becoming ever more channel agnostic.It is drawn from:Loyalty programmes Customers sign up to receive discounts and benefits from being loyal to a retailer,in

158、return for giving that retailer increasingly rich data about who they are,where they are and what they like,do and buy.A good example of this is UK supermarket Tesco,which is seen as something of a retail media pioneer in how it worked with its partner dunnhumby to leverage the data of its Club Card

159、 loyalty programme.Tesco now has access to data from 23mn members across the UKs 28.3mn households(see page 32).Club Card membership has grown from 14mn in 2020 Online browsing behaviour This is data on how shoppers shop online based on what they look at,what they search for and what they buy.It can

160、 be anonymous,which gives a broad picture of who does what,or much more personal if it is tied in with loyalty programme or signed up users.A prime example here is Carwow,which uses customer browsing data to connect automotive manufacturers directly with potential buyers,bridging the gap between bra

161、nd marketing and dealer activation.Purchase history The analysis of every journey from browsing to buying and who buys what online.A recent example of this is Uber,which leverages aggregated customer data to offer personalized advertising based on user behaviour,such as frequent visits to city-wide

162、music venues or multiple trips to a specific restaurant.Customer profiles Data and information gleaned from all manner of customer touchpoints,from payments through to all and any data submitted when signing up to loyalty programmes.The data gathered across the above typically includes:Demographics

164、es this data to:Segment audiences for targeted advertising While retailers can use their data to slice their audience along the obvious lines of age,gender,location,purchase history,shopping frequency and spending,there is much more than that lurking in the data.Analysis of the retailer data can als

165、o reveal brand affinities,price sensitivity,how loyal(or not)they are,as well as their responsiveness to occasions such as religious festivals or discount drives.It can also be used to slice and dice the customer base down to almost individual levels,allowing brands to use retailer sites to hit cert

166、ain customers at certain points with specific ads that chime with some or all of these factors.Personalise ad content and product recommendations This deep understanding of the consumers is then used to personalise the content seen by each shopper when they hit the retailers website.For brands adver

167、tisers,this means serving up specific ads and recommending specific products at a point where that customer is most likely to engage.16|RetailMedia|February 2025Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 Optimise ad placements and timing Similarly,the right content should appear in an optimum positio

168、n at a point in the shopper journey based on their behaviour data to maximise the possibility of engagement with that ad or content.Measure campaign effectiveness and provide closed-loop attribution Knowing who is looking at what allows retailers and their brand advertisers to measure how effective

169、a campaign is since it allows for closed loop attribution,a technique that directly connects media spend to specific consumer actions,particularly online and offline sales.If you know the shopper,you can track what they do.Challenges to data success It is worth noting that using consumer data does c

170、ome with its own set of challenges:Privacy concerns and regulations What data is collected and how it is used and stored is highly regulated across the US and Europe through CCPA and GDPR regulations.These cover how consent is sought for gathering data,which has to be explicit from the user,along wi

171、th details of how that data will be used and stored.This is particularly true of sensitive data such as location,ethnicity and nationality,although it applies across all data.The issues are compounded for Retail Media networks since that data is effectively shared with brand advertisers regarded as

172、third-parties as far as the consumer giving the data is concerned.Retailers must be clear about this use case when collecting the data.Networks must also be careful how that data is used to make sure it remains within the regulations and the explicitly garnered permission to collect that data.Howeve

173、r,retailers must balance this against the advantages this data can deliver to personalisation.Consumers accept a degree of intrusion if what they get back is of value to them.Such is the balancing act in Retail Media.Data integration and management Aside from how to use the data,retailers face an ad

174、ditional range of challenges with managing the data they gather.Fragmentation is perhaps the biggest issue here.Retailers often have data scattered across different departments,making it difficult for retail media networks to leverage and leading to inaccurate targeting.It also leads to issues of no

175、 data standardisation across the company,again making it hard to fully leverage.This can result in issues with integrating the systems needed to manage data usage an serve onsite ads.It can also potentially cause privacy and regulatory issues since the data may have been collected using different te

176、rms and conditions of use,particularly among third-parties.Scale While large retailers with established data strategies may have sufficient first-party data to create effective retail media networks,smaller retailers face challenges in building similarly comprehensive datasets from their limited cus

177、tomer bases and lack of effective data collection strategies.This explains why smaller retailers might buy in data to help bolster what they have and to create a more compelling retail media offering.However,doing so can lead to even more issues with fragmentation,integration,data management and reg

179、stomersWhen customers get an experience that is seamless and that delights them,they are more likely to engage with ads and go on to make purchases of those products.So,what are the success factors for retail media from an experience point of view?Seamless integration Ads should blend naturally with

180、 the shopping experience,appearing as native content rather than disruptive elements.This is particularly true for sponsored products but also applies to banner ads and content.For retailers offering a variety of ad formats including sponsored products,sponsored brands and video sponsored shelf at t

181、he top of category pages making all slot in with what the shopper has searched for must be a seamless experience.It must also work across online and mobile.Ads have to be adaptive and responsive so that the experience is uniformly nice everywhere that the customer might touch.Context-awareness Simil

183、ntial aspects of retail media is the leveraging of first-party data to deliver highly relevant ads based on customer behaviour and preferences.Knowing as much as possible about who is looking can make it easier to offer that seamless experience.Moreover,it allows for contextual awareness to not only

184、 tap into where and when they are looking but also who is looking.Knowing as much as possible about the shopper allows for the experience to be more closely tailored to their preferences and habits,which ultimately leads to a more enjoyable and hopefully financially fruitful interaction.How to make

185、this work Doing this in practice requires a range of factors within the retailers set-up:Ad tech and data analytics Retailers need live data analytics to know who is looking at what and what they might want to see in terms of advertising.To then serve up these ads or sponsored products based on what

186、 is being looked at or searched for,retailers need to integrate data analytics with an ad management platform that contains the collateral.These two functions can often be combined into a single platform that manages assessing who the customer is and then seamlessly presents the right content at the

187、 predicted best point in their journey.Such platforms can track and help measure the success of the process.Aside from using tech to manage the process,there must also be good internal communication and cooperation between a retailers marketing,IT and sales teams.Continuous testing and optimisation

188、To refine ad placements and formats,testing and constant adjustments to how the data is analysed must be made.This includes constantly updating the data as new customers arrive and existing customers interact with the retail media offering,as well as what ad content is served.Testing different forma

189、ts,placements,wording and even colour palettes is an ongoing process.Remember that what constitutes a good experience is constantly shifting as users experience broadens and their tastes and habits change.Challenges to experience creation While user experience is a moveable feast,there are some cons

190、tant challenges that need to be met by retailers running retail media networks.Balancing ad revenue,relevance and user experience It is important to avoid ad overload that could detract from the shopping experience.For while there may be ample opportunity to serve many ads,does that help the shopper

194、 to capitalise on that its the fundamental principle of retail media.So,what are the key tropes of retail media relationships and what underpins their success?Why are relationships key?Relationships are key because they transcend the mere clicking on a timely ad or sponsored product and move towards

195、 something much more long-term and mutually beneficial to the retailer,the brand and,most importantly,the customer.For brands using onsite retail media,the goal is to increase customer engagement and conversion rates in the short-term before,in the longer-term,to build brand awareness and foster cus

228、Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 ONSITE|AD LOAD TRAPAvoiding the ad load trapA word of warning:pursuing ad revenues at the expense of experience and relationships can create poblems.Heres how to avoid the ad load trapYou might be familiar with this story:you are a regular user of an app,or

229、a media site or a sports site.Gradually you notice that it is harder to get to the content you want,as you appear to be trapped in an obstacle course of sign-ups,pop-ups and ads.Eventually you sidle off sullenly to another site promising the same content only to find that it too gradually succumbs t

230、o the same cycle of more:more ads,more pop-ups and more things that get in the way.This gradual degradation happens as a result of the site prioritises revenue at the expense of user experience.Its a trap.Retail media expert Raj Redij-Gill believes the trap emerges when relevance is ignored in the r

231、ush for higher revenue.In the case of Retail Media,the simplest analysis of the problem is one of ad load an increase in the number of advertising units per page.Redij-Gill points out the sequence of events that leads to this trap:Stage#1:Retail media initiatives start with great promise.By adding a

232、 few sponsored product slots,retailers can generate immediate revenue without dramatically altering the shopping experience.Stage#2:The retailer is conservative and the balance between organic and sponsored products remains intact,and the shopper experience doesnt suffer.Stage#3:Initial success is a

233、chieved,everyone gets excited and senior management who dont know the outcomes of increasing the number of advertising units per page,asks the Retail Media team to increase revenue and by adding more ad slots.Stage#4:The retail media network starts prioritising revenue over relevance,targets over cu

234、stomer experience.Stage#5:As more ad slots are introduced,ad load per page increases and relevance starts to slip.Organic listings end up below the fold.Sponsored products take priority.Shoppers get frustrated with irrelevant result.Stage#6:Trust is eroded and shoppers set-off for other sites to get

235、 what they actually want,not what the retailer wants to sell themInitially,nothing happens.There are immediate gains.Long term,its another story.Click-through rates and conversions gradually drop,and advertisers get poorer results for their investment.Avoiding the trap The keyword if you will forgiv

236、e the pun relevance.Redij-Gill points out that“shoppers dont mind sponsored products,as long as those products meet their needs.When relevance is prioritised,engagement increases,click-through rates improve,and conversions rise.Advertisers also benefit,as their ads reach a more targeted,engaged audi

237、ence,driving higher returns on their investment.”Redij-Gill continues:”relevance is more than just a filter on which products to showits about keeping the customer experience central to every decision.Without relevance,even the most sophisticated retail media efforts will struggle to maintain long-t

238、erm value.”Here are five steps that retail media networks should take according to Redij-Gill:Step 1 Define your retail media principles view every decision through the lens of relevance:Many retailers already use bidding systems to prioritise sponsored products.However,its not enough to simply rewa

239、rd the highest bidder.Sponsored placements must also serve the shoppers needs,not just the advertisers.Retailers should move beyond standard bidding models means using data-driven algorithms to assess customer behaviour,shopping patterns,and contextual signals to ensure that the products being promo

240、ted align with shopper expectations.Step 2 Balancing sponsored and organic refocus on relevance:Relevance needs to be the driving force behind how retailers balance sponsored and organic products.Standard metrics such as ad-to-organic ratios,click-through rates,and conversions should 22|RetailMedia|

241、February 2025Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 be looked at,but the most important question is“are these metrics reflecting relevance to the shopper”?Analysing all metrics through the lens of relevance improving the overall shopping experience Step 3 Personalisation elevating relevance,not j

242、ust performance:Personalisation is one of the key capabilities behind retail media.AI and machine learning are being used to create personalised product placements is great,but,again,the lens we must look through all if these is relevance.Ask yourself is our personalised advertising making our ads a

243、ppear as natural,useful recommendations that align with what the shopper wants as opposed to random insertions?Step 4 Reframe A/B testing and metrics monitor their success through relevance:A/B testing,monitor click-through rates,and track conversion rates are great tools for optimising performance,

244、but the key differentiator is how these tactics are applied with relevance as the primary focus.Raj Redij-Gill gives an example:“if you are running A/B tests to optimise ad placements,the goal shouldnt just be to maximise clicksit should be to determine how relevant those clicks are to the shoppers

245、intent.Metrics like click-through rates and conversion rates are essential,but they need to be interpreted with relevance in mind.“Step 5 Align with advertisers on relevance:The final point is that retail media networks should collaborate with their advertisers to align relevance as core strategy.Ad

246、vertisers may want results,but they also need to reach shoppers who are engaged and want to buy.Make sure you communicate with your advertising partners that campaigns that prioritise relevance over volume are what matters.Use the data and insights capability to share what resonates with shoppers to

253、eters and the retailers that run the retail media network have a range of metrics that they can measure(see panel).However,there are some key measurements that can provide a holistic view of performance.Cost-per-click(CPC)Perhaps the most basic online ad metric is simply working out the cost for eac

254、h user interaction with each ad.This certainly helps brands and retailers get a feel for the value of any given onsite campaign.However,it only delivers an indication of how much it is costing to get someone to click.In reality,brands advertising through onsite retail media need to know not just wha

255、t a click costs but also what it yields.Return on investment(ROI)Looking at how the money spent achieving each click impacts revenue generation can be a more useful measure.ROI is calculated using the revenue attributed to the advertising,minus the cost of buying the ad placement divided by the cost

256、 of investment(then multiplied by 100,if you want it as a percentage).This provides a clear,quantifiable measure of campaign performance by directly linking ad spend to revenue generated.Measured by tracking and linking consumers who see an ad and then made a purchase,ROI can offer a simple way to a

257、ttribute revenue and sales uplift to any specific ad campaign.However,it has limitations.ROI focuses primarily on immediate financial returns,potentially overlooking long-term brand building effects or customer lifetime value.An overemphasis on ROI might also lead to neglecting the limited scale of

258、onsite inventory,which is restricted by the retailers website traffic and ad capacity.It can also be misleading,since high ROI doesnt necessarily mean high overall sales volume,which could lead to misguided decision-making if not viewed in context.Additionally,a focus on ROI can lead to increased co

259、mpetition for limited ad space,potentially driving up costs and reducing overall effectiveness.Return on ad spend(ROAS)The shortcomings of ROI as a metric to measure the success of onsite retail media is why many in the retail media market both on the brand and retailer sides prefer to look at ROAS.

260、Calculated by dividing the revenue attributable to an ad by the cost of the ad,ROAS can provide a clear,quantifiable measure of campaign performance by directly linking ad spend to revenue generated.It is also often seen as favourable when measuring onsite retail media performance because onsite typ

261、ically has a much higher margin than offsite advertising and generates more sales uplift due to it targeting engaged shoppers right at the decision or purchase point of their journey.ROASROI As the percentage of non-branded spend increases,ROAS decreases and top-line grows ROAS is calculated using d

264、5Subscribe to Retail Media at https:/ 2025 ONSITE|PERFORMANCE METRICS However,it too has many of the same shortcomings as ROI:a focus on immediate financial return rather than long-term brand-building impact;flattening ad strategy into something that is only performance-led;and not giving a complete

265、 picture of customer engagement,brand awareness and market-share growth.It is also open to misinterpretation,with high ROAS not necessarily meaning high overall sales volume which can lead to misguided decision making by brands.Incremental return on ad spend(iROAS)This is a metric used to measure th

266、e effectiveness of advertising campaigns by focusing on the additional revenue generated directly from advertising efforts.iROAS is calculated by subtracting the cost of ads from the incremental revenue and dividing by the cost of the ads(before multiplying by 100 to get that as a percentage).It dif

267、fers from traditional ROAS in several key ways.Firstly,iROAS measures the revenue that would not have occurred without the specific marketing campaign,excluding baseline sales and accounts for the baseline consumer propensity to buy.This reduces measurement bias in digital marketing,leading to a mor

268、e detailed picture of what is happening with an onsite campaign.A high iROAS indicates that a marketing tactic is effectively driving growth,while a low iROAS suggests the tactic may be targeting people who arent willing to buy or would have bought regardless of marketing.As a result,iROAS is becomi

270、h measuring the success of onsite retail media campaigns.Everyone talks about measurement frameworks,data,incrementality,ROI,ROAS,iROAS or standardisation as though they are talking about the same thing,when theyre not.This is because:Different marketing goals require varied metrics Marketers do not

271、 use the same metrics in every category and industry to measure success,such as alcohol versus clothing,for example Retailers do not have access to metrics because the information is buried in POS Instore retail measurement is impossible to measure reliablyAll the complaints will eventually be addre

272、ssed since measurement standards have evolved significantly over the past year due to the various IAB chapters releasing new standards for retail media for online,offsite and instore.The more these are adopted,the more the complaints should in theory go away.However,the complaint about standards wil

273、l continue since the pace of technological change means that new measurement methods will be needed for new methods of marketing.Currently,many brands use ROAS and ROI as their main KPIs because they were championed by Google and Facebook as measures for advertising.But are they the best way to meas

274、ure retail media?The marketing community is recognising that these measures are far from perfect.ROI is a very different metric than ROAS,yet both are used in retail media.THE TRANSISTION FROM ROAS TO IROAS RMNs generally cant outcompete Meta and Google on ROAS,but iROAS is a game they can win.Accor

275、ding to retail media expert Andrew Lipsman,there is good reason why they can come out on top.They offer contextually relevant ads powered by better data and closed-loop attribution are all the ingredients an advertiser should need to drive incremental sales.Analysis by research firm Clerdata of a CP

278、mething better.If they havent already done so,RMNs should introduce iROAS into their standard KPIs and report it alongside ROAS.This will ease their transition to their new“god metric”while familiarizing themselves with the relationship(or non-relationship)between iROAS and ROAS.25|RetailMedia|Febru

280、s who researched a product on Amazon,more end up buying it off-Amazon than on-Amazon across every analysed category.In other words,off-site purchases often exceeded onsite purchases,with ROPES varying from 0.5%to 10%across categories,with doll toys,printers and running shoes having higher ROPES than

281、 laptops or smartphones.Moreover,consumers who visit more product pages(PDPs),click more and spend a longer time on the products Amazon page are more likely to buy the product somewhere,be that on and off Amazon.Upper funnel advertising ROPO Professor Pauwels and his colleagues found that upper funn

284、There are many peer reviewed papers in marketing journals on the impact of retail media and the ROPO effect.For example,Professor Koen Pauwels,Professor of Marketing at Northeastern University in Boston,has written and collaborated on numerous papers.In one called Amplifying Off-site purchases with
