How to Use This Resource

A Viable Framework for Maturing In-Store Media Measurement is best used as a framework rather than as a live rate card. Treat the examples and frameworks as a way to ask better questions before a proposal, then verify inventory, pricing, dates and specifications with the seller or platform.

The strongest planning value is in In-Store Media, Measurement, Retail DOOH, and Standards.
