Interesting piece in the Economist about Walmart selling advertisers access to its shoppers in-store. The thesis is simple. 85% of all goods are still purchased offline. Walmart has 10K stores and sells most things, and 200 million Americans visit a Walmart store every year. Just sell in-store advertising slots, in addition to the ones on Walmart.com i.e. erect in-store billboards, banners on shelves, TV screen ads, audio ads in playback store music etc. The gross margin on this is much higher than that from selling goods. Walmart's revenue is nearly $600 billion. The ads venture is generating $3 billion (0.5% of revenue) but 7% of Walmart's profit. It is also growing much faster. By comparison, Amazon's ad business generates $47 billion, all online. But gain, remember, 85% of all sales happen offline! Walmart could end up being an advertising juggernaut, and only incidentally, a retailer. Link to source article below. P.S. I wonder what Sam Walton would have thought of this? His mission was to offer "Every Day Low Prices". The company has veered off this a few times, only to return to it when the new excursions didn't go so well. #ecommerce #retail #advertising #marketing #walmart #amazon

More and more retailers are getting into the advertising game: Nordstrom Saks Fifth Avenue (just announced last week) Dollar tree Walmart eBay Walgreens Target Kroger Wolt All these brands have launched their own Retail media networks (aka advertising). They are expanding what Google and Meta have dominated over the last decade. Just like Amazon, all these brands have come to understand how powerful this could be for the business. Which is why Retail media networks will account for 20% of ALL ad spend in 2024. This isn’t like putting adsense in your blog. It’s much bigger. I've seen a 5% bounce in EBITDA for D2C brands who've added some simple text based ads on their order confirmation page. A huge untapped potential is starting to get tapped. Uptick

"Target is following in the footsteps of the success achieved by membership programs from competing brands, such as Amazon and Walmart. But these competitors are already ahead of Target – so the question remains if customers in today's economy will pay for 2-3 retailer memberships the way they do in the streaming game." Our President, Jenn Szekely spoke to IBT Media about Target competing with Walmart and Amazon in the new retailing landscape of unified commerce, which involves merging online and offline sales and integrating all channels and exchange touchpoints. 🔗 You can read the article in full here: https://lnkd.in/eiDXdA4v #retail #Target

Just under 10M viewers tuned in to Amazon's Black Friday game that cost the retailer giant $100M. The question is what was Amazon trying to prove? For the country’s biggest e-commerce retailer, Black Friday is everything. Americans reportedly spent nearly $10B online last Friday, and Amazon accounts for around 38% of all online retail sales in the U.S., followed by Walmart at just under 6.5%. Amazon has more than six times the e-commerce market share of the largest brick-and-mortar retailer in the country, and more and more people are spending their Black Friday dollars on their phones. The race to integrate streaming and e-commerce is already well underway. NBCUniversal’s Peacock launched “Must ShopTV.” During shows like Top Chef, viewers can scan a QR code to purchase products being used by the contestants. NBCU is also developing technology to allow viewers to make purchases directly in the Peacock app, eliminating the friction between seeing and buying. The end goal is to vastly improve the sophistication of audience targeting on streaming, so that products can seek out their customers. Digital adtech is hyper-targeted these days, to the point of anticipating our needs. While advertisers are flocking to streamers—Netflix's ad-supported plan accounted for 25-30%of all new signups in the U.S. this year, according to research firm Antenna, while The Walt Disney Company's Disney+ is closer to 40%—we don’t have a good sense of impact. Advertisers will receive some information through their partnerships, but there’s no greater public knowledge and, furthermore, there’s no universal metric to compare audience reach. When a program airs on broadcast, for example, it’s impossible to track the true impact of ads, but the reach is largely clear. This is less so with streaming companies that don’t break out the “ratings” for programs available and streamed within different price tiers. But while streamers work to increase their reach through sign-ups and engagement, they are also leaning into their superior capabilities, like creating easier shopping opportunities with fewer hurdles to convert audiences into paying customers. Think Apple Pay and Instagram. The only problem is that creating large-scale audiences is nearly impossible in 2023. Theatrical attendance is down nearly 20% compared to 2019; average viewership for individual TV series has fallen drastically over the past 20 years; and user-generated content platforms, like YouTube, have democratized the definition of programming and celebrity. The flipside of the instant gratification era, when almost everything is at our fingertips, has been the balkanization of content and audiences. The one exception is sports, and not just the National Football League (NFL). What does that mean for sports? Even more important, what does that mean for companies like Disney, which have sports betting initiatives and theme park passes to sell? My latest for Puck on streamers entering retail therapy.

It’s not really PRIME day anymore, is it? Yeah, Amazon came up with the idea back in 2015. And it made it the most profitable day in the entire year - $13B in revenue in 2023. Along the years, other retailers like Walmart, Target, Bestbuy, Nordstrom, Wayfair - got in on the action. But 2024 is different. Because this year, TikTok entered the ring too. Starting July 9, TikTok Shop offered sales on thousands of items, and some cheap stuff. These are major brands that will be selling on huge discounts - Brands like L'Oréal, Maybelline New York and NYX Professional Makeup. An inside source directly told me that some of these huge discounts are SUBSIDIZED by TikTok themselves. Whether it’s true or not, it’s a clear sign - when everyone is riding Amazon’s success, TikTok isn’t playing that game. It’s aiming for a chunk of Amazon’s market share. The competition in eCommerce was never more fierce. #ecommerce

Managing halo effects between DTC platforms and online retailers (such as Amazon, Look Fantastic and Sephora) can be tricky. When managed well a rising tide should raise all boats, but many brands find themselves fighting for existing demand vs their retail partners. Increasingly we see that consumers have preferred purchase platforms, and fighting against that preference in performance marketing can be very tough (especially in new markets, where brand awareness is low) Luckily that doesn't mean advertising doesn't work, it just means we need to measure against demand generation across all sales platforms rather than just conversion on direct sales platforms. Which we've covered in our blog series: https://lnkd.in/ej6am5k9

Want to lower your CPC by 33%? Your brand needs to be on Walmart. Thats right, Walmart had an average CPC of $0.65 in 2023, 33% lower then the average on Amazon. On top of that, Walmart hosts a average RoAS of $6.06, driving cost effective sales. Now Walmart isn't going to provide the scale of spend you see on Amazon, but it's growing rapidly. The platform is aiming to reach $6 billion in ad spend in 2025, and has seen 30-40% growth each of the past 3 years according to e-marketer. Walmart may only capture 8.2% of the retail media ad market now, but I expect to see this continue to grow exponentially. The retailer is making a big push in the e-commerce space, with focus on both search and display media through it's acquisition of Vizio. As Amazon becomes increasingly competitive, brands are looking for their next growth opportunity. Why would we look any further then America's biggest retailer? #ecommercemarketing
