February 2026 SmartBites is here
|
We’re heading to Vegas (March 24–26) and look forward to connecting on where retail media is headed next.
Retail media budgets are growing. Expectations are rising with them. Brands are asking harder questions about what happens after the click, including:
|
-
How media investment turns into measurable retail performance
- How to expand the cart, not just drive traffic
- How to protect outcomes when availability shifts
|
|
|
|
| If you’ll be in Vegas, we’ve reserved time throughout the week for focused conversations – over breakfast, coffee, drinks, or dinner.
Email sales@smartcommerce.co with your availability, and we’ll lock in time.

📦 Inventory Targeting:
Send Demand Where It Converts
|
Media plans are precise. Retail availability isn’t.
On average, 27% of campaign clicks land on products that are unavailable, sending high-intent shoppers to dead ends and quietly eroding performance.
Inventory Targeting helps brands and partners align media with real retail conditions — so demand flows where products are actually in stock.
|
|
|
|
| -
Launching sooner as distribution phases in
- Scaling spend where availability is strongest
- Reducing avoidable out-of-stock exposure from day one
|
The goal isn’t more data. It’s better decisions at the moments that determine conversion.
