Challenge for Retail Media

8 out of 10 initiatives fail to attract net new budgets beyond existing supplier spend.

Why? No audiences + no sales + no attribution = no budget shift.

Why? No omnichannel: instore data is a retailer’s biggest asset, but without audiences and closed-loop measurement, brands won't move budget.

Why do Retail Media campaigns stall?

Retailers sell placements, not shoppers

Brands buy broad inventory, not high-intent shoppers
No audience profiling from real store behavior.
Outcome: lower CPMs and fewer repeat dollars.

Performance budgets stay locked

Without product or SKU-level measure, Retailers cannot compete for trade and shopper-marketing budgets.
Outcome: Retailers can win brand budgets but not performance budgets which drive conversion -  and are 80% of the opportunity.

Brands can't prove lift

No closed-loop reporting proving the sale.
Nolink from media to SKU/store sales.
Outcome: small pilots and slow renewals.

No scale

No predictive planning or in-flight pacing using demand signals and store patterns.
Outcome: inconsistent results and low impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a retail media platform for retailers?

Retail media platform allows retailers to monetise their first-party shopper data and in-store inventory by providing targeted advertising across in-store, on-site and off-site channels, which can be attributed to measurable sales.

How do retailers monetize retail media?

Retailers monetise retail media by selling targeted advertising powered by first-party purchase data, in-store exposure and closed-loop sales measurement. They generate revenue through CPM-based campaigns, performance-based pricing, data subscriptions and managed services.

What makes in-store retail media measurable?

In-store retail media becomes measurable when exposure data is connected to real shopper presence, in-store behaviour and sales outcomes at SKU level. This enables the calculation of incremental sales uplift and iROAS.

What is closed-loop retail media measurement?

Closed-loop measurement links ad exposure directly to actual purchases at the level of individual products and stores. This method proves the impact of incremental sales rather than relying solely on impressions or clicks.

How does SKU-level attribution work?

SKU-level attribution measures whether exposure to an advertisement has increased the sales of a specific product in a specific store compared to baseline sales. This allows retailers and advertisers to optimise their performance budgets.

What commercial models are available for retailers?

Retailers can choose between SaaS licensing, which offers fixed annual packages, and revenue-share partnerships, which are aligned with media sales performance. Additional managed services are available as an optional extra.

How does Footprints AI differ from traditional ad networks?

Unlike traditional ad networks, which focus mainly on digital placements, Footprints AI offers a unified platform that integrates in-store data, omnichannel delivery, private AI infrastructure, predictive audiences and closed-loop attribution.
