(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Supermarket News, Dollar General expanded its retail media network to include AI-powered audio advertising and a unified platform across its 21,000-plus US store footprint.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): you don't have to build your own media network. DG is selling audio ad slots like it sells shelf space — but cheaper and faster than traditional retail media. The move: place a 15-second audio ad in a DG checkout lane that mentions a limited-time offer, then track redemption through the same-day delivery order data. This week, find a local DG, ask the category manager how to place an audio ad, and test a single store first.\nWhat that means for you: This is retail media growing teeth. Audio in the checkout lane is a sound wave you can buy by the store, by the hour. Most brands ignore it because it's not shiny. That's the edge. CPG challenger brands that use audio in DG checkouts to drive same-day delivery orders will outrun brands waiting for TikTok Shop to scale.\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 — Supermarket News: https://www.supermarketnews.com/retail-media/dollar-general-expands-retail-media-network-with-ai-powered-audio-and-unified-ad-platform.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes. That's literally what we do →\nhttps://www.pops4.com/vip?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=stash",
