What Is a Retail Media Touchpoint?

A retail media touchpoint is a place where a retailer-owned channel can carry brand-funded or campaign-led content. In store, that can include screens, QR codes, displays, kiosks and product-level digital journeys.

Online retail media touchpoints are familiar: search placements, sponsored products, emails and app media. Physical stores create a different set of touchpoints, because the shopper is near the product and often closer to a buying decision.

In-store touchpoints need to be useful, not just visible. A brand can pay for screen space, but a shopper may need product explanation, comparison or proof before purchase. Interactive touchpoints can therefore serve both media and shopper education.

MyPlayer helps turn physical touchpoints into measurable media environments by connecting the placement to content, engagement and onward journeys. That gives retailers a stronger proposition than simply selling exposure.

Retail media touchpoints should be evaluated by placement, relevance, control, shopper usefulness and measurement quality.
