If they do, allocate budget there first — before paid social. You are buying placement on the retailer's owned channels where your buyer is already shopping. The conversion rate will be higher than paid ads because the customer is already in-store or on the retailer's app. Test with a seasonal SKU or a new flavor first.\nWhat that means for you: if you sell through regional or national retail, ask your account manager if they have a retail media network.

The conversion rate will be higher than paid ads because the customer is already in-store or on the retailer's app. Test with a seasonal SKU or a new flavor first.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run.
