Opening Retail Media Doors Boosts Bev/Alc Sales

Oliver Winery and DIGITS saw an opportunity to expand their retail footprint and reach Walmart shoppers while maintaining strong sales performance. Walmart DSP represented a new, strategic channel to connect with this audience and complement existing success with Target. This was less about solving a problem and more about exploring a valuable new growth avenue.  

Goodway Group collaborated with DIGITS to explore Walmart DSP as a complementary channel, providing hands-on support and education to navigate the nuances of programmatic retail media. With high client expectations, it was critical to ensure a seamless pilot and measurable outcomes.

• Needed to expand retailer footprint while maintaining high sales performance
• Client required strong proof of Walmart DSP’s business impact
• Programmatic media represented a new strategic capability for DIGITS
• Success depended on careful execution and collaborative support

DIGITS proposed a small, focused Walmart DSP pilot with Oliver Winery to prove performance potential. DIGITS then built a custom audience strategy, planned for business outcomes, and monitored closely. They leveraged Goodway’s expertise, check-ins and office hours as needed to successfully navigate Walmart DSP as a new self-service channel for their agency.

• Activated Walmart DSP with a test budget
• Developed a ROAS-oriented measurement and optimization plan
• Delivered strategic planning around timing, spend, and retail goals Used results to expand into Kroger with double the budget

DIGITS and Goodway Group turned one test campaign into a promising avenue for growth. The Walmart DSP pilot not only drove one of the strongest ROAS figures in the client’s digital mix, but it also led to increased investment, expanded retailer partnerships, and deeper client trust. More importantly, DIGITS now has a new playbook for integrating programmatic retail media into their shopper-focused model.

• Consistent optimizations and re-prioritzation of audiences resulted in Lapsed Buyers driving the second highest ROAS for the campaign
