The pilot
Pilot is a real-life experiment of the platform in action in the core of your in-store retail media operations that usually runs for 2-6 months. The aim is to test drive the needed elements for you to operate successful in-store retail media business.
For the pilot, several stores/locations are selected. Each store/location should have multiple screens in it, to imitate running the actual day-to-day retail media business. A comparison group of locations/stores is also recommended, so that we can measure both qualitative and quantitative effects.
In the pilot, we together define the focus from number of key areas:
Building media products from your data to test which products suit you and your customers best
Inviting a few trade partners to iterate the needs for your self-services channel
Testing direct sales in smaller scale for advertiser insight
Managing your own campaigns to understand the needed daily processes
Rehearsing campaign trafficking to understand better the needed resources
Pilot findings a gathered and conclusions for expansion are made. During the pilot, also a business case for expansion is built.
Once the pilot has been successfully completed it is time to expand the network. We will together define the roadmap with you and your partner in charge of the network building and maintenance for rolling out the platform for the entire chain.
