Ocado Online Advertising Opportunities
Media Owner Company History Launched in partnership with Waitrose in 2002, Ocado was conceived with one simple mission: to offer busy people an alternative to going to the supermarket every week. Instead, Ocado customers simply order their shopping online or through the mobile app, and then have it delivered; perfect for those who d rather not spend their time plodding the aisles. Today, Ocado are the UK s largest dedicated online grocery retailer. They provide an innovative and market leading customer experience whilst fulfilling over 150,000 orders every week.
The Opportunity... Post checkout marketplace With over 150,000 orders placed every week these prominent post checkout banners usually see between 255 and 400 clicks every day (the super banner ordinarily sees twice this). The average Ocado shopper is familiar with the post checkout page and know that there will be tempting offers waiting for them there. Once they ve finished shopping for the household, they look forward to clicking through and adding on a shop for themselves. The best performing campaigns are for luxurious and indulgent offerings. Luxury fashion, fragrances, accessories, treatments, travel, hotels, dining out and so on. These brands do particularly well precisely because they appeal to the spontaneous on-bound shopping urges of these intelligent, upmarket women.
