Factors like:
π Big baskets
π Frequent visits
π Robust loyalty data
… make grocers’ retail media networks irresistible to brands that want to reach and influence the masses as they shop.
That’s why retailers like:
π Ahold Delhaize
π Albertsons
π Amazon
π₯ Carrefour
π Kroger
π Loblaws
π Sainsbury’s
π₯ Target
π Tesco
π Walmart
… have emerged as retail media leaders.

π₯ Since consumers regularly buy food and beverages, the CPG industry is highly competitive with brands fighting for shelf space and attention.
