(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nAlbertsons Media Collective launched incrementality measurement to quantify the true impact of in-store media campaigns, proving which ads drive incremental sales versus merely replacing existing buys, per Albertsons Companies and Progressive Grocer.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): The steal is asking for incrementality proof before the buy, not after. Before Albertsons' measurement, all retail media was sold on eyeballs and impressions—the oldest currency in the book. Incrementality flips the script: a brand no longer pays for the display itself but for the measurable, incremental volume it drives. When you pitch a retail media partner, ask upfront what incrementality metrics they track and what their baseline for 'incremental' is. Brands that do will stop wasting shelf budgets on campaigns that displace rather than expand. Run this play by insisting on pre-buy incrementality modeling, not post-buy excuses.\nWhat that means for you: This is the moment retail media grows up. For years, in-store advertising was a black box—you paid, you got impressions, you prayed. Albertsons just weaponized the attribution rigor that killed Facebook's ROI claims. Expect other retailers to follow fast, which means brands can no longer hide behind 'brand building' when they buy shelf space. You'll need to prove it moves incremental volume. That's terrifying for most players and brilliant for the disciplined ones.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Progressive Grocer: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiogFBVV95cUxNTGNheEdYb0VIaXpabWp0Z3Y2di01YUM2QUo5SGc2YVpOeWdveGVERzA0eUQ2M2thMzREb05lOUh4UDV3ZEU5OUwzUXRxTWJkVGtXaHlTOE50MGhYQzB1SjN4T28xRlBscGJCcjNETEV3ZGpqQ3hyd1pZN2xuMXM1b29UbWZ6S1M0dlJFbVc5ZFlRSnFQd09tQWZhODBuVzVtWUE?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
