# ShopLiftr Takes Local Deals Off Retailer Sites and Into Display, DOOH, and CTV *The off-site engine routes live promotions across channels, proving brand dollars work beyond the single retailer.* By **Jenny Huang Goodman MPA MSc MHSA, Principal** — The Stash Edge, Hako Shikin LLC.

The mechanism follows the shopper across every channel they encounter, breaking the constraint that kept brand activation tethered to a single retailer's digital shelf. ShopLiftr's system pulls current deals from a brand's retail partners and distributes them programmatically. A shopper sees the same limited-time offer on a display banner, a DOOH screen at the bus stop, and a CTV ad during streaming content. The engine updates inventory and pricing in real time, so the creative remains accurate across all placements. The brand pays for impressions and conversions that happen outside any single retailer's walled garden. The underlying mechanism is channel-agnostic attribution. Most physical-product brands fund co-op dollars at a single retailer and measure success inside that retailer's analytics dashboard. The brand never knows if the shopper saw the promo elsewhere first, or if another touchpoint primed the purchase. ShopLiftr's engine tracks exposure across display, DOOH, and CTV, then connects those impressions to downstream purchase behavior at participating retailers. The brand sees which channel mix drove the transaction, not just the last click inside the retailer's app. This works because the cost of channel fragmentation has dropped. Programmatic exchanges handle display and CTV buys at scale. DOOH networks sell inventory through the same demand-side platforms. A brand can now route one creative asset to all three channels with a single API call, provided the asset updates dynamically. ShopLiftr automates the feed: product availability, regional pricing, and countdown timers refresh hourly. The brand avoids the manual upload that made multi-channel promotion prohibitive for products with short promotional windows. The steal for a small physical-product brand starts with a single promoted SKU and one retail partner. Identify your hero product and confirm the retailer will share real-time inventory data via a standard feed format—most mid-sized specialty retailers and Amazon third-party sellers already publish these. Build a simple dynamic creative template using a self-serve platform like Google Display & Video 360 or The Trade Desk. The template pulls product image, price, and stock status from the feed every six hours. Budget **$500** to test display and CTV in one metro during a two-week promotional window. Set a conversion pixel at the retailer's cart or purchase confirmation page. If the retailer does not permit external pixels, use a unique promo code in each channel's creative and compare redemption rates. Run the same offer across display banners targeted to in-market shoppers in your product category, and CTV ads on free ad-supported streaming services where your customer watches content. Allocate **60 percent** of budget to display for direct response, **40 percent** to CTV for aided awareness. Track which placements drove the promo code or pixel fire, then double spend on the winning channel in week two. For DOOH, start hyperlocal. Identify three high-traffic locations within two miles of stores carrying your product—transit hubs, grocery store parking lots, or fitness centers. Use a network like Vistar Media or Place Exchange to buy **10-second loops** at those specific screens. Run the same dynamic creative with live pricing, and append a location-specific landing page or QR code so you can measure lift. Budget **$300** for a one-week DOOH test. Compare foot traffic and sales at nearby stores during the campaign week against the prior week. If you see a **15 percent** store visit increase, expand to ten locations. The broader pattern: off-site activation decouples the brand's media spend from the retailer's owned channel. You stop renting shelf space in someone else's email or app, and start building your own path to the shopper before they enter any single store. The next move is to layer first-party data—email lists, past purchasers, loyalty members—into your audience targeting across all three channels, so the same customer sees sequenced messages from awareness to purchase. ## The takeaway Route one SKU's live promo across display, CTV, and DOOH with dynamic creative and retailer inventory feeds. --- ## Publisher **Hako Shikin LLC** — Virginia Beach, Virginia.
