Turn Your Brick-and-Mortar Store Into Your Most Lucrative Advertising Space
Digital advertising prices are skyrocketing across all platforms, from Facebook to LinkedIn to GoogleAds, you name it, and it is happening at rates close to 5x that of inflation.
The digital ad market is oversaturated with brands competing for ad space, driving up prices and leaving many smaller retail businesses unable to compete. As a result, retail marketers are refocusing their attention “offline” and back into the physical store, where they can leverage existing screens to market their products to customers.
Brick-and-mortar has undergone a massive digital transformation over the last few years, focusing on immersive in-store experiences for the customer. As a result, most retailers have already invested in digital signage assets. According to a study, 70% of organizations currently have a digital transformation strategy or are working on one. Therefore, with the inventory already available, retailers can easily monetize their in-store audiences by using their venues as lucrative ad vehicles.

More Bang For Your Advertising Buck
The store as a media channel is a concept that is taking off not only because it is lucrative but because tracking ROI is simple and easy. Data granularity in physical retail has revolutionized brick-and-mortar stores, offering businesses the same insights and audience research capabilities as the online world for a fraction of the price. While advertising online is still undoubtedly very beneficial, having access to in-store ad inventory means retailers can adopt an omnichannel approach to advertising, distributing their marketing budgets across mediums and seeing their ad dollars go further.
