How nCountR is Transforming In-Store Retail Media with Personalized Digital Signage
In a recent Retail Podcast interview from Groceryshop, Hans Fischmann, VP and GM of nCountR, shared insights on how the company is reshaping in-store retail media through data-driven digital signage. Fischmann explained that nCountRâs platform enables retailers and advertisers to personalize messages for customers, effectively blending physical shopping experiences with digital precision.
Enhancing Shopper Engagement Through Digital SignagenCountRâs approach is based on understanding both retailer and advertiser needs. For retailers, nCountRâs platform provides a way to increase revenue per square foot by turning digital signage into a targeted, revenue-generating channel. For advertisers, nCountR offers access to shoppers at critical decision points in their purchasing journey, with messages that adjust in real time based on data like shopping behavior and seasonal trends.
âBy personalizing the shopping experience, weâre not just displaying ads,â says Fischmann. âWeâre creating interactions that enhance basket sizes and encourage customer loyalty.â An example is displaying seasonal promotions in grocery stores, such as a peach cobbler recipe alongside related ingredients, which can drive multi-item purchases.
Addressing Retailersâ Key Challenges with a Data-Driven ApproachWith many retailers focusing on optimizing revenue per square foot, nCountR helps solve this challenge by using data to bring digital advertisingâs precision into physical spaces. Fischmann noted that by partnering with both large chains and small stores, nCountRâs agnostic platform can be integrated seamlessly, maximizing in-store engagement regardless of a retailerâs scale.
Looking Ahead: Privacy, Accessibility, and a Vision for the FuturePrivacy and accessibility are core elements of nCountRâs strategy. Fischmann emphasized that nCountR is built with robust privacy safeguards, ensuring compliance while personalizing messages responsibly. âNo one wants a NASCAR experience in-store,â he adds, stressing the importance of curated, relevant content. With nCountRâs adaptable platform, the future of in-store retail media will involve even more tailored and context-sensitive customer engagement, helping retailers create value at every stage.
