Example Output

Retail Media Campaign Plan — Sparkling Water Multipack

Objective

Win high-intent shoppers searching for flavored sparkling water and increase new-to-brand household penetration before summer.

Budget Split

| Channel | Budget | Role | Notes |

|---|---:|---|---|

| Amazon Sponsored Products | 45% | capture category demand | prioritize exact match + top ASIN conquesting |

| Walmart Connect Search | 25% | defend retail availability | focus on pickup/delivery shoppers |

| Instacart Sponsored Product | 20% | basket add-on moments | target lunch, picnic, and mixer occasions |

| Retailer display retargeting | 10% | repeat purchase | cap frequency and exclude recent buyers where possible |

Targeting Map

- Category terms: sparkling water, flavored seltzer, zero sugar drinks

- Competitor terms: top national seltzer brands and private label packs

- Occasion terms: picnic drinks, lunch drinks, party mixers

Optimization Cadence

Week 1: check availability, CPC spikes, and PDP conversion by retailer.

Week 2: shift budget from broad category terms into winning exact-match and competitor conquesting.

Week 3: test coupon support if add-to-cart rate is strong but conversion lags.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Include retailer-specific constraints because Amazon, Walmart, and grocery delivery platforms behave differently.
  • 💡Add stock and ratings context before launching paid media; retail ads cannot fix a weak product detail page.
  • 💡Ask for separate plans for launch, defense, and conquesting if the campaign has multiple goals.
