Quad/Graphics, Inc. announced a new partnership with The Save Mart Companies to launch its in-store retail media network. In-Store Connect by Quad positions digital screens and kiosks throughout the store, giving retailers and consumer packaged goods companies more impactful opportunities to deliver relevant promotions, share key product information and connect adjacent product options to shoppers, thus enhancing the overall shopping experience. The Save Mart Companies will implement Quad's specialized digital sign technology in 15 stores across its three banners: Lucky, Save Mart and FoodMaxx.

Quad will work closely with the company and their vendor partners to create and deliver real-time promotions and product information to shoppers throughout the customer journey. The initial roll-out will demonstrate the platform's ability to seamlessly integrate digital retail media into The Save Mart Companies' existing in-store infrastructure and deliver relevant promotions and product information to shoppers in the form of digital kiosks, end caps, shelf screens and vertical banners. Upon successful completion of the inaugural phase, The Save Mart Companies plans to expand the platform to their remaining 179 stores in California and Nevada.

In February Quad announced its acquisition of DART Innovation, an in-store digital media solutions provider based in North Carolina. The strategic investment has expanded Quad's proven capabilities in revolutionizing the shopping experience for retailers, CPGs and consumers and provides the technology infrastructure for the partnership with Save Mart. These recent actions bolster Quad's ongoing and focused expansion of its data, media and in-store offerings.
