Shopping cart advertising places branded displays directly on grocery carts, usually on the handle, child seat area, or front-facing panel.
Because the cart travels with the shopper through every aisle, your ad stays in their line of sight for the entire visit — typically with 30 to 45 minutes of uninterrupted exposure right at the point where purchasing decisions are being made.
That extended dwell time and proximity to purchase make cart ads a strong fit for CPG brands, local services, healthcare organizations, and anyone looking to influence behavior near the register. Brands can select specific stores by neighborhood, zip code, or DMA to keep targeting.
With AdQuick, brands can explore place-based OOH inventory (including in-store and retail formats) and plan campaigns that reach shoppers where they're already spending.
