Supermarket and grocery store ads give advertisers a bigger bang for their buck than other marketing methods. From local real estate agents, businesses with limited advertising budgets, to household name brands, supermarket advertising is the best place to reach consumers.
What Is Supermarket Advertising?
Supermarket advertising is a marketing strategy that allows brands to promote their products to shoppers while they are in a supermarket or grocery store. Examples include ad formats like shopping cart advertising, register tape advertising, placing in-store coupons near the product shelf, and on billboards at sanitizing wipes stations placed at the front of the store. There is no better way to reach customers right at the point of sale, making it a key strategy in brick-and-mortar marketing.
Benefits Of Advertising In Grocery Stores
Advertising in grocery stores is a great way for advertisers to reach their customers to increase brand awareness and influence consumer shopping behavior.
There are a few reasons that in-store advertising is so effective.
- Placement: advertisers can promote their products and influence grocery customers at the point of purchase.
- High foot traffic: Supermarkets are among the most frequently visited retailers, with most customers shopping an average of 8 times per month. Even with the increase in home delivery, supermarkets remain the most-visited retail shopping locations in the U.S.
- Targeting: 80% of supermarket shoppers live within 3 miles of the store where they shop. This allows advertisers to select stores located in neighborhoods that match the demographics of their customers.
- Advertising in a supermarket can influence consumers when and where they buy using effective POS marketing strategies, and is a great way to attract customers to new products, leading to increased sales and brand lift.
- Cost-effective: With the combined benefits of demographics, frequent ad views, and influencing buyers while they shop, advertising in a grocery store can be a very cost-effective way for businesses to catch the attention of their customers.
Overall, advertising in a grocery store can be a smart marketing strategy for brands looking to reach a targeted audience, increase brand awareness, and boost sales.
