Northeast Grocery Inc., the parent company of Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops Friendly Markets, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, is expanding its partnership with Instacart.
The two chains will use the Instacart Platform to introduce new e-commerce capabilities and launch a new retail media network using Instacart’s Carrot Ads.
The solution will allow brands to advertise on Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops’ e-commerce platforms and apps, using Instacart Ads technology. It will also help brands expand the reach of campaigns to include Price Chopper and Tops Markets.
With Carrot Ads, the retailers will offer display ads, in addition to Instacart’s sponsored product solution, enabling brands to promote engaging, targeted, creative banners to raise awareness and consideration of products and help to drive bigger baskets.
