In-store retail media advertising FAQs

What makes In-Store Connect by Quad retail media solution different?2025-08-28T15:09:52-04:00

In-Store Connect is a retail media network purpose-built for CPG brands. Our network spans regional and mid-size grocers, giving advertisers unique access to shoppers at the local level — where 74% of grocery trips still happen in person, according to The Return of Touch Report: Reimagining Consumer Engagement in 2025, a 2025 research report by The Harris Poll, presented by Quad.

With this local-first reach, brands can engage shoppers at the exact moment purchase decisions are made — transforming foot traffic into measurable sales impact. By combining audience targeting, dynamic creative, and media flexibility, Quad makes in-store advertising smarter, more agile, and better aligned to brand goals.

Key differentiators:

  • Purpose-built for CPG brand activation

  • Access to grocers not included in mass RMNs

  • Flexible by region, product, and budget

  • Built-in attribution from screen to shelf

How do I measure ROI from in-store campaigns?2025-08-28T15:09:04-04:00

Quad’s In-Store Connect offers clear sales attribution — so you can confidently track performance from screen to sale. Every campaign includes data integrations that help you see not just impressions, but actual point-of-sale outcomes. 

Ways to measure ROI:

  • POS lift at SKU or brand level

  • Coupon redemption rates across partner stores

  • Cross-channel attribution through matched-market or QR code tracking

How much does in-store advertising typically cost?2025-08-25T17:36:45-04:00

The cost of in-store digital advertising ranges based on campaign duration, screen count and format, and number of store placement. In-Store Connect by Quad allows for modular campaign design — from a single region to multi-state activation.

Can I use retail media networks to advertise in physical stores?2025-08-25T17:37:54-04:00

Yes, and it’s exactly what In-Store Connect is designed for. Our retail media network for CPG brands operates in physical store environments using in-store digital media, not just online shopper data.

You can run QR-enabled campaigns, support limited-time promotions and even segment by aisle or store type — all while maintaining brand safety and purchase proximity.

Localization capabilities:
