Place-based advertising
Shopping Cart Advertising Near Your Business
Shopping cart advertising places your brand and offer on the carts customers push through a grocery store for 30 to 60 minutes or more per trip. It's one of the closest advertising formats to the actual purchase decision, and it works well for businesses that want repeated local exposure inside a tight radius.

Why businesses use it
Long, repeated dwell time
A cart stays in front of the same shopper for the length of their trip, and that shopper returns weekly — building frequency without extra media spend.
Proximity to a buying environment
Grocery stores sit inside the daily routine of the households in your radius, putting your message next to real spending decisions rather than passive scrolling.
Tight geographic control
Cart placements can be mapped to specific stores inside your radius, so you're not paying to reach shoppers outside your realistic service area.
Pairs naturally with an offer
Cart space is a strong fit for an Incentive Display Ad™ — a QR code or short call-to-action that a shopper can act on immediately or later at home.

Cost & availability
AdRadius IQ does not publish public pricing. Cost and availability depend on several variables that we confirm directly with media owners before any proposal is sent:
- The number of stores and carts included in a program

- Campaign length and rotation frequency
- Ad format (cart panel, cart corral, combination placements)
- Category exclusivity or restrictions at a given store
Every proposal is private and custom to your business, radius and objective.
