Partnership enables brands to connect in-store ad exposure to verified purchase outcomes — complementing Grocery TV’s existing full-funnel measurement suite including foot traffic, brand lift, and consideration intent
NEW YORK, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Grocery TV, the leading in-store retail media platform, today announced a partnership with ABCS Insights to bring independent, third-party sales lift measurement to in-store retail media. Through the partnership, brands advertising on Grocery TV’s network can directly link in-store ad exposure to verified purchases at the product level, both in-store and across other retail environments.
As investment in in-store retail media accelerates, so does demand for transparent, third-party measurement. This relationship marks a significant step in expanding the measurement infrastructure available to brands in the physical retail environment.
Through the partnership, advertisers can gain access to independent, third-party sales-lift measurement for their Grocery TV investment. This measurement is powered by ABCS Insights’ 41-million-household panel, combining receipt and card transaction data to deliver in-depth campaign measurement.
Early campaign results from leading CPG brands demonstrate the impact:
- A national candy brand delivered 11.7x incremental return on ad spend (iROAS) and drove $2.7M in incremental sales during a two-month campaign supporting a seasonal product launch.
- A leading beverage brand achieved 5x iROAS,$1.4M in incremental sales, and 5% increase in purchase frequency, alongside a 16% sales lift driven by on-platform ad exposure.
“In-store media delivers measurable results across the full shopper journey, and our measurement approach reflects that,” said Marlow Nickell, Co-founder & CEO, Grocery TV. “ABCS adds an important layer of rigor for sales lift, so brands can see the incremental impact of their campaigns with independent verification.”
“In-store is at a critical moment in the path to purchase, yet it’s historically been under-measured,” said Jerome Shimizu, CEO, ABCS Insights. “This partnership with Grocery TV brings true purchase-based measurement to the channel, grounded in observed transaction data, so brands can understand exactly what outcomes their media investments are driving.”
The ABCS Insights receipt-based measurement captures the full halo effect of a campaign, quantifying lift across all retailers where shoppers purchase, beyond where the ad ran. All measurements are conducted at the product level in a privacy-safe environment with the capabilities brands expect from digital, now applied in-store.
This partnership builds on Grocery TV’s full-funnel measurement suite. In 2025, the company introduced a closed-loop solution leveraging retailer POS data, beginning with Hy-Vee, to directly tie media exposure to sales. The ABCS partnership extends these capabilities with a third-party, panel-based approach, offering brands additional transparency and scale.
