Understanding grocery marketing
Over the last few years, online grocery shopping has accelerated. As consumers adopt new, digital grocery shopping methods, brands have the opportunity to reach these new customers both on and offline with Amazon’s advertising solutions.
The grocery industry today
More consumers are using online grocery shopping in order to accommodate their lifestyle needs. Shoppers on Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods Market, are looking for convenience and ways to save time.2 As the industry evolves, brands will need to find new ways of reaching audiences and keep their products top-of-mind for shoppers.

Challenges facing grocery brands
Adapting to omnichannel shopping
Total grocery revenue is expected to increase 11% from 2023 to 2026.6 With this shift in consumer shopping behavior, advertisers need to adapt their strategies to better reach new audiences.
Fragmented channels
There are more places for brands to advertise, but fragmented channels can be confusing to shoppers who are looking for consistent and accessible information when grocery shopping online.
Responding to digital disruptions
While the past few years have increased grocery demand and revenue, it has also increased the use of contactless payments and online grocery with delivery and pickup. Advertisers should consider how their advertising strategies appeal to new consumer behaviors to drive sales despite consumers spending less time engaging with their products in-store.
