Retail events provide an opportunity for brands to acquire new customers and engage their existing audience. Our experts have provided three key strategies for optimizing retail events to reach and convert consumers.

  1. Connect with partners who can provide insight into local markets and consumer behaviors, whether it be insights into the best media formats, or the strongest performing publisher models and promotional offers. Additionally, communicating with local publishers will provide brands with an added layer of insight.
  2. Utilize data and artificial intelligence (AI) tools like Rakuten Advertising’s Affiliate Consumer Graph to serve personalized ads based on past shopping behaviors.
  3. Have a commissioning strategy that includes multi-touch commissioning to reward all publishers who contribute to the path to purchase, as well as dynamic commissioning, which can be helpful to align publishers to your business goals and KPIs.
