Does the growth of retailer media signal the end of 'National launches'? The ever-improving capability of retailers to market to their shoppers is both a blessing and a curse for brands. It is a blessing, as hyper-personalised shopper messaging at the point of purchase enables highly targeted and measurable campaigns. It is also a curse, as marketing power and influence becomes increasingly retailer-centric. However, one significant benefit for brands is the capability to launch new products with an 'exclusive retailer partner' and use that retailer's marketing power to drive consumer/shopper awareness, as well as trial and repeat. No longer is a large brand launch reliant on national TV and national distribution, as the impact of TV declines and is replaced by more targeted retailer and social media. And the added commercial appeal of 'exclusive launches' means brand launches in just one retailer have all they need to succeed, without the cost, effort and risk of a national launch. Does anyone have a recent example of this in action? #retailermedia #thegrocer

Retail Media; Who's next? Now CostCo are developing an ad business. It all makes sense: advertise close to the point of purchase; get data; show it works; repeat. But the reality is that the vast majority of CPGs are still taking baby steps, sometimes backwards and with a blindfold on, when it comes to exploding the potential of Retail Media in their businesses. Daedal has a unique approach that starts with the fundamental question of 'why'? Before moving through the transformational changes required to make Retail Media sing for ALL the stakeholders affected: brand; shopper; retailer; commercial team. So talk so us today and let us help! #retailmedia #costco #shopperengagement #quadruplewin #workwwithdaedal https://lnkd.in/eK_muh-m

I thought it would be fun to share the 1st page of my pitch deck from 4 years ago after Walmart tried to buy TikTok Sorry for the blurriness - Linkedin kept rejecting the file Anyway... I had been pitching for 1 1/2 years at this point We predicted a big name retailer would buy TikTok b/c we theorized content driven commerce was the future "The fastest growing social media platform is not the story of a technology company's success but the ushering in of the next generation of socially aware and digitally discerning users who diverge in habits from preceding generations to change the market In the minds of digitally native consumers that turn to social media for everything, "the store" is their media experience TikTok is the store Instagram is the store YouTube is the store" I think it holds up ok considering yesterday's news re Amazon's bid for TikTok & Shopify/YouTube's alliance Just the world's top media platforms merging w/the top ecomm platforms to be the largest content-driven stores lol HUNDREDS (thousands?) of investors dismissed our end-to-end social commerce value chain for brands to connect w/real time suppliers of trends + creators lol We argued that brands would be squeezed out of the market for several reasons that stem from the consumer being in charge through her content Since then history has been made: 100% of the top websites & shopping apps in America are C2M Nike lost $28B in market cap SHEIN's growth outpaced the consolidated growth of the majority of our brands Temu outpaced Shein in < year And then TikTok Shop did the same TikTok Shop now controls 68% of all social purchases FARFETCH, EXPRESS, & more went bankrupt lululemon is the worst performer on the S&P 500 We have the worst inventory distortion in history @ $1.77T Our imports are down nearly 30% And social commerce is forecasted to be $11.1T by 2030 All b4 she scales herself/friends through AI & they go direct to manufacturer Feels like brands need a lifeline Now you know why I have posted about this every single day for 5 1/2 years A meteoric shift has been underway decimating our market The jurassic c-suits who dismiss social as just another sales channel have sold our economy short w/their refusal to organize The line btwn content + commerce has been obliterated The forever slow-turning ship of the ivory tower mentality + its years long supply chain is no longer viable in today's real time market The reluctance to fully engage w/social commerce might stem from the same lack of understanding that has historically undervalued women It's been 57 years this month since women were first "allowed" to run the Boston Marathon btw Since then I think it's safe to say that directly engaging w/women is not just beneficial it's essential for success in a market where 85% of all purchase decisions are made by frivolous women #thegreatfashionreset #communitytomanufacturer #communitycommerce #contentistheproduct #creatorsarethestore

Costco Wholesale is building its own retail media network... And it's not just to add to its bottom line. According to Ryan Barwick at Marketing Brew, the ad network will be built "on its trove of loyalty membership data, using its 74.5 million household members’ shopping habits and past purchases to power targeted advertising on and off its website." Costco isn't the first big retailer to build a retail media network... ... in fact, it wouldn't be unfair to say they're behind the rest of the industry, given that companies like Best Buy, Kroger, Target, and Walmart have already earned billions of dollars from their respective ad networks. But there's an interesting reason why Costco finally decided to get serious about targeted advertising. According to Mark Williamson, AVP of retail media at Costco... "In Costco’s case, the profits from its ad business will be reinvested into keeping prices low for consumers, like offsetting shipping costs or keeping the chain’s lauded rotisserie chicken priced at $4.99." Consumers are looking for low prices, and Costco is introducing technology into its locations that will ultimately help keep prices low. Using in-store technology to drive incremental profits... ... that's what Optimum Retailing (OR) does for multi-unit retailers too! (Want to learn how?

#InTheClubWithGina edition 24: All three clubs offered insight into their ongoing and upcoming strategies this past week. Costco AVP of Retail Media Mark Williamson (and Sam's Club veteran) spoke to Marketing Brew about the club's RMN ambitions, while Costco Auto Program GM of Strategic Partnerships Jay Maxwell chatted with CNBC (also featured: Kantar's own amazing Julie Craig). Ryan Barwick https://lnkd.in/gPZZZ4vU Michael Wayland https://lnkd.in/gVh6CAxb Building out programs that bring in additional revenue is going to continue to be a priority for Costco, even as sales climb month after month. Why? So they can keep driving lower costs for members - and avoid that infamous fee hike that comes up every earnings call. At Walmart's Annual Shareholder Meeting, Sam's CEO Chris Nicholas made some revealing remarks, as well: "We need to make sure every single item earns its right to be on the floor. And for those that don't want to bring innovation or don't want to get to the right price point for our member, we will fight every day for that. And we think Member's Mark, we are building the quality of this thing and it's creating the ability for us to have even higher quality conversation with our supplier partners about what the bar looks like now." The message is clear. Sam's sees Member's Mark as a leverage point. Brands will need to innovate while maintaining value to win against the private label. Finally, BJ's expanded its same-day delivery with Roadie to include larger items like outdoor furniture, grills, and TVs just ahead of BBQ season in an attempt to better compete with similar services offered by its peers. Like Costco and Sam's, it includes an upfront fee and is limited to specific regions, but there are a few other caveats: restrictions on eligible products, and a 20 item limit on orders up to $750. It's a step forward, but BJ's will have to do more to make up for the drawbacks. https://lnkd.in/gTmEdvi4 #retail #costco #samsclub #bjs

Exciting times ahead for Costco! The third-largest US retailer is venturing into the ad business by leveraging its extensive membership data to roll out targeted ad capabilities both on and off its website. With 74.5 million households in its loyalty program, Costco is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the retail media space, potentially reshaping how brands connect with consumers. Ryan Barwick's [article](https://lnkd.in/eQs_jrWk) highlights how this move could turn Costco into a formidable player among competitors like Walmart and Target. As someone who’s keen on the intersections of retail and advertising, I believe this could unlock tremendous value for both Costco and its members. #RetailMedia #Advertising #Costco #DigitalMarketing #CustomerData

Retail Media appears to be the focus of every other story in my feed at the moment. There are big attention-grabbing headlines; “Retail media will be ‘bigger than TV’ by 2025 says Tesco” [https://shorturl.at/SVk1c] as well as many announcements of new network & agency launches and various actors gearing-up for the promised boom. Even US bank, JP Morgan, are getting involved. [https://shorturl.at/K9cNU] Check out Mike Anthony's excellent and informed commentary here on the future: https://shorturl.at/p6ee2 Brands (and their advisors) will inevitably be attracted by the bright lights of new opportunities… and I don’t just mean the brightness of another 6,000 video screens in Tesco over the next 12 months. I can imagine many brands charging ahead with activity to fill the screens and sites across store estates. Haste may deliver bland re-formatted creative. There is a great opportunity to think smarter and ensure that this investment works as hard as it can. The retail shop floor – physical, more so than digital – has always been the stage where executions of behavioural science insight have performed. Close to that moment of truth, as the consumer hand reaches out to the category, it pays to stand out. The Von Restorff effect. The best and commonly referenced example of the Von Restorff effect (or isolation effect) is presented from the unlikely ‘Bay Area Deathfest 2' back in 2015. The flyer for this music festival (see image) featured death metal band logos that all conformed to a stereotype apart from one. Party Cannon stood out with their bouncy, vibrant colours against a wall of homogeneity. This gained them instant recognition and grew their following. The Von Restorff effect simply highlights that people are more likely to remember something that stands out from the crowd. For fantastic reading on this and many other examples of behavioural science to improve marketing then Richard Shotton is your man... speaker, author, podcaster, etc. For a brand that is considering their execution in the new landscape of retail media there is a great opportunity to think smarter and present a point of difference to your competitors. Use this space at point of purchase to give the customer a reason to really notice you, prefer you and choose you there and then. Consumer promotions, such as Instant Win competitions or Gift With Purchase offers, are examples that can help to this end. Unlike price discounting, they create differentiation and do not erode margin. They can also cost less than you might think. I’m looking forward to see how brands really nail a joined up approach to integrated activations across retail. #marketing, #promotions, #riskmanagement #retailmedia #shoppermarketing ----------------------------------- 👋 Hi!

Costco is building out an ad network built on its trove of loyalty membership data, using its 74.5 million household members’ shopping habits and past purchases to power targeted advertising on and off its website. The wholesale retailer is still testing such capabilities, and it’s fielding offers from potential ad-tech vendors, but the move signals that the third-largest retailer in the US could become a formidable player in the already deeply fragmented retail media space, which is estimated to reach $166 billion by 2025, and responsible for 20% of all digital media spend this year, according to eMarketer. #retailmedia #costco #wholesaleclubs
