Retail Media Network (RMN) Off-site Placement involves placing targeted ads for a brand on digital properties outside the retailer’s own media channels, including third-party websites, social media platforms, and mobile apps. This strategy leverages the retailer’s audience data and advertising network to extend brand messaging beyond the retailer’s on-site media.

Off-site placement in RMNs is essential for brands aiming to broaden their reach and engage potential customers who are not actively shopping on the retailer’s platform. This approach enables brands to capitalize on the retailer's valuable data to deliver personalized ads across a wider digital ecosystem, enhancing brand visibility and boosting conversion rates. By capturing consumer interest early in the buying journey, off-site placements can effectively drive audiences back to the retailer’s site.

For example, a sporting goods retailer operates an RMN where brands can deploy ads across the retailer’s off-site channels. Brands may run paid campaigns through its social accounts, leveraging the retailer’s established brand authority and customer data to target relevant audiences.
