How to allocate retail media budget like an expert…across a dizzying array of options

Most retail brands have significant resource constraints around their retail media advertising strategy. Budgets are limited, and time and people resources are limited. Compounding this crunch are CPCs, which are on the rise. Whether the goal is to grow market share or maintain profitability, most brands need to look beyond Amazon advertising for future results.

Retailers are launching media platforms at a faster clip than seen before. They each promise great results and ways to reach net-new customers. On the surface, it’s always great to have more options. But you can’t be everywhere at once! Each new media platform requires time and budget. And there’s the risk that any given channel won’t deliver.

“There’s the platform over here, there’s a platform over there, and GoPuff is launching their platform and Jokr’s launching their platform, and these guys over here are doing it, and Kroger has a media platform… you can quickly stretch yourself out like spreading peanut butter on a slice of bread where you’re so thin that you don’t really achieve anything effectively.”
