What this is

Retail media is advertising sold by a retailer on its own site or app — a sponsored product listing in search results, a banner on a category page, or a placement in its own app. It is usually bought through the retailer's self-serve ad platform, priced per click or per thousand impressions and settled by auction; a smaller share is a negotiated placement quoted flat, such as a homepage takeover or a guaranteed slot for a launch.

Questions

How is retail media different from a marketplace search ad?

It mostly isn't — a sponsored product listing on a retailer's own search results is retail media. The channel here also covers a retailer's other on-site placements: category banners, app takeovers, and off-site extensions of the same audience.

Do I need to be a seller on the platform to advertise?

Usually yes — most retail media platforms are built for brands and sellers who already list products there; a few also sell display placements open to any advertiser.

Is retail media self-serve?

The biggest platforms are, through their own ad manager; smaller retailers here are more likely to require a sales conversation for anything beyond the smallest spend.
