Frequently Asked Questions

What is retail media?

Retail media is a type of advertising where brands place ads on a retailer’s owned channels (such as their website, app, email, or even in-store digital displays) to reach shoppers right at the point of purchase. Retailers use their first-party customer data and media space to help brands target audiences more precisely and influence buying decisions.

What does a retail media agency do?

A retail media agency helps brands plan, run, and optimize advertising on retail media networks (like Amazon, Walmart, or Target) so they can reach shoppers right where they browse and buy. Typical services include:

  • Media planning and buying: Choosing the right retailers, ad formats, and placements, then managing the buys.
  • Audience targeting: Using retailer first-party data to reach the most relevant, high-intent shoppers.
  • Creative development: Producing effective sponsored product ads, display banners, and video assets.
  • Campaign management & optimization: Monitoring performance and adjusting bids, budgets, and targeting to improve ROAS.
  • Analytics and reporting: Connecting impressions and clicks to sales and providing clear visibility into ROI.

In short, a retail media agency helps brands navigate complex retail ad platforms, make smarter use of data, and turn retail media spend into measurable sales and visibility.

What retail media networks does Arc work with?

We work with a wide range of retail media networks across major online and in-store retailers, including:

We can support campaigns across any retail media network real customers use. Our team tailors strategies to each retailer’s data, ad formats, and audience capabilities to ensure brands get the strongest performance possible.

How do I advertise my products on Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other retailer websites?

Advertising on major retail platforms starts with becoming an approved seller or partner, then using each retailer’s advertising platform to run paid campaigns like Sponsored Products. While the steps differ by retailer, the process generally follows this pattern:

  1. Register with the retailer as an advertiser: Set up (and get approved for) the appropriate seller, vendor, or partner accounts, then gain access to the retailer’s ads platform (e.g., Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, Roundel for Target).
  2. Set up and structure the product catalog: Upload and configure a product feed with accurate data, categories, and attributes so campaigns can properly serve and be targeted. This often includes ongoing feed hygiene and error troubleshooting.
  3. Build and launch campaigns: Choose the right campaign types (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, display, etc.), define budgets and bidding strategies, apply keyword or audience targeting, and segment products by goals, margins, or priority.
  4. Optimize for performance: Continuously refine bids, keywords, and targeting; test creative and listing content; monitor profitability and share of shelf; and expand into additional formats and retailers as performance improves.

Or hire a retail media agency like Arc Intermedia. We handle setup, strategy, optimization, and reporting across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other major retail media networks.

Can you integrate with my CRM or inventory system? 

We work with a wide range of ecommerce platforms, including:

Our team is platform-agnostic and experienced in adapting strategies to the unique capabilities and integrations of each system, ensuring we meet business goals regardless of tech stack.

What are the benefits of retail ecommerce advertising for brands?

Benefits of effective retail ecommerce advertising include:

  • Highly targeted advertising based on retailer first-party data
  • Influence at the moment of purchase, increasing conversion likelihood
  • Stronger visibility in a crowded marketplace
  • Access to shopper insights that improve future marketing and product decisions

How is retail media different from traditional digital advertising?

Retail media targets shoppers using retailer first-party data and places ads directly within the shopping experience (like Amazon search results or Walmart product pages). Traditional digital ads target broader audiences. Retail media reaches high-intent shoppers at the moment they’re comparing products and ready to buy.

Does Arc optimize product pages for visibility and conversion?

Yes. Strong product detail pages are essential to ranking well and converting clicks to sales. We optimize:

  • Product titles and descriptions
  • Bullet points and keywords
  • Images, videos, and content
  • Reviews and rating strategies
  • Category placement and backend attributes

This improves both organic rankings and paid campaign performance.

How does Arc measure success for retail media campaigns?

We focus on metrics tied directly to sales and profitability, including:

  • ROAS (return on ad spend)
  • Total sales and incremental sales
  • New-to-brand customers
  • Organic vs. paid lift
  • Share of voice (SOV) within a category
  • SKU-level performance
  • Buy box win rate (for Amazon)

Our goal is not just ad clicks, but measurable revenue growth.

Can Arc help improve my share of shelf on Amazon or Walmart?

Yes. We use a mix of paid strategies, organic optimization, keyword targeting, competitor analysis, and retail media placement to increase a digital “shelf space.” This helps ensure products appear more often in search results, category pages, and recommendation modules.

Does Arc work with brands selling on multiple retailers at once?

Yes. Many clients sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, Instacart, and other marketplaces. We build coordinated strategies that:

  • Maintain consistent branding
  • Optimize SKUs individually by retailer
  • Adjust bids and budgets based on platform performance
  • Prevent cannibalization between channels

This unified approach maximizes revenue across the entire retail footprint.

Does Arc manage Google Shopping?

We manage Google Shopping campaigns through both Standard Shopping and Performance Max campaigns. We structure feeds, segment products by margin or priority, implement custom labels, and optimize bidding strategies for ROAS and profit. Our approach also includes Shopping remarketing and omnichannel support for brick-and-mortar locations.

Can Arc help with product feed optimization?

Yes. Product feed optimization is critical to the success of campaigns like Google Shopping and Meta product ads. We ensure feeds are complete, accurate, and enriched with high-converting attributes such as keyword-optimized titles, compelling descriptions, high-quality images, GTIN/MPN codes, and proper categorization. We also troubleshoot Merchant Center errors and provide feed segmentation strategies for better performance.

Can Arc integrate with my CRM or inventory system?

Yes. We integrate marketing platforms with any CRM, ecommerce backend, or inventory/POS system to enable real-time data flow and better customer targeting.

Whether we use tools like Klaviyo, Salesforce, HubSpot, Lightspeed, or proprietary software, we help connect data streams for personalized automation, customer segmentation, and inventory-aware promotions.

Does Arc provide reporting on sales performance?

Yes. We provide detailed sales performance reporting that includes channel attribution, conversion tracking, average order value, customer acquisition cost (CAC), return on ad spend (ROAS), and more. Reports are customized to business goals and can be segmented by campaign, product category, audience, or time frame. We help businesses understand not just what sold, but why, and how to grow from there. 

How much do retail media advertising services cost?

Retail media costs vary widely by retailer, ad format, and competitiveness of a category. On most retail media networks, brands typically see:

  • CPCs: often under $1–$3+ per click
  • CPMs: commonly in the $20–$50 range for retail media networks
  • Monthly media budgets: from a few hundred dollars for small tests to $10,000+ per month for brands scaling across multiple retailers

On top of media spend, businesses also need to account for agency management fees, which are often a flat fee or a percentage of ad spend.

Because costs depend heavily on the products, retailers, and goals, the most accurate way to understand budget is to request a proposal from Arc Intermedia. We’ll recommend a realistic starting spend and management structure.
