About

Leading retail media network in the consumer electronics and appliances vertical, leveraging Best Buy's dominant position as North America's largest CE retailer

Best Buy Ads is the retail media network arm of Best Buy Co., Inc., one of the largest consumer electronics retailers in North America. The platform enables brands, manufacturers, and agencies to reach shoppers at critical moments in the purchase journey — from early research to in-store conversion — leveraging Best Buy's first-party shopper data, digital properties, and physical store network spanning hundreds of locations across the United States and Canada. The network offers a suite of advertising solutions including sponsored product listings, display advertising, onsite and offsite media, and in-store activations. Best Buy Ads differentiates itself through its unique positioning in the consumer electronics and appliance category, where purchase decisions are often high-consideration and research-intensive. Advertisers gain access to Best Buy's rich first-party purchase and browsing data, enabling precise audience targeting and closed-loop measurement that ties ad exposure directly to sales outcomes. In the broader retail media landscape, Best Buy Ads competes with networks from Amazon, Walmart Connect, Target's Roundel, and other major retailers. Its niche focus on consumer electronics, home appliances, and related categories makes it particularly valuable for CE brands, OEMs, and technology companies seeking to influence purchase decisions among a highly engaged, purchase-ready audience. The network has been expanding its self-serve capabilities and programmatic offerings to attract a wider range of advertisers.
