In-Store Promotion Measurement

In-store promotion and retail media measurement in a retail store

Know whether your in-store promotions and retail media placements are being seen, engaged with and followed through to purchase.

Our VLM-powered platform, SAI One, connects what shoppers do around a promotion with what happens at the till, giving retailers and brands a clearer view of campaign execution, audience engagement and sales impact.

Detailed View

In-Store Promotion

See the promotion. See the audience. See the outcome.

In-store promotion generates more than a sales figure. SAI One connects what happens around the promotion with what happens at checkout, helping teams understand whether a campaign was visible, whether shoppers engaged with it and whether that engagement translated into sales.

From display compliance and audience exposure to dwell, product interaction and sales outcomes, SAI One brings the campaign journey into one view.

Why In-Store Promotion Matters

Retailers and brands invest in promotional space, displays and other media placements, but proving what happened between campaign activation and purchase remains a measurement challenge.

SAI One connects the physical store with transaction data to help answer questions such as:

  • Was the promotion actually live and correctly placed?
  • How many shoppers passed the placement?
  • How long did they spend in the area?
  • Did shoppers stop or interact with the promotion?
  • Did the promoted product appear in subsequent purchases?
  • How did sales perform against the agreed campaign baseline?

What SAI One Measures

Promotion Execution

Was the campaign delivered as planned?

  • Display location
  • Build-to-spec compliance
  • POS material presence
  • Display stock availability

Audience Exposure

SAI One measures footfall and traffic around promotional and retail media zones, along with how long shoppers spend in them.

Measures include:

  • Footfall and zone traffic

  • Opportunity to See (OTS)
  • Likelihood to See (LTS)
  • Gross Impression
  • Audience by daypart
  • Aisle penetration

Shopper Engagement

SAI One goes beyond pass-by traffic to measure behavioural signals around the placement.

Measures include:

  • Pass-by to stop rate
  • Engagement rate
  • Product interaction
  • Time to decision
  • Shopper path to and from the fixture
  • Interaction-to-basket indicators

Each alert includes:

Promotion issue

A clear description of what needs attention, such as a missing display or unavailable promoted stock.

Visual evidence

Relevant camera evidence showing the specific promotion or issue detected.

Location
