A retailer with 100 stores can run 50 test + 50 control stores for almost any brand and get a clean lift signal within 4-8 weeks. Most chains do not do this because it requires discipline and slows the sale. Retailers that do it win media dollars. The play is to map which retailers in your category have announced incrementality measurement, then shift media spend to those chains. Within 12 months, every major grocery and CPG retailer will have this capability. Brands that demand it now will get better rates.\n\nMy Stash Take on what it means for the rest of us →\nhttps://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/t/li/retail-media-networks-2026-08-03t21-6\n→ Your Stash Room — your logo, live pricing, ships blind: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/r/li/retail-media-networks-2026-08-03t21-6\n→ Proper imprints, done right at POPS4: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/s/li/retail-media-networks-2026-08-03t21-6",

Most chains do not do this because it requires discipline and slows the sale. Retailers that do it win media dollars.
