Advertising Consumer Packaged Goods on Mobile
The mobile first and connected approach
The shift to pushing a virtual shopping cart through in-app aisles
As Canadians continue to embrace online shopping on mobile and in-app, CPG brands are presented with an opportunity to connect with consumers in real-time, reach a wider audience, and further drive sales.
The modern Canadian is a connected always on individual that lives almost their entire life online using a device that fits in the palm of their hand. It is how they shop, communicate, socialize, stay entertained and learn. The mobile device is now the main screen in-front of almost every single Canadian. For CPG brands this shift in consumer behaviour has led to a re-evaluation of media and marketing budgets.
The result has been a decline in foot traffic, and an increase of app installation across Canada. The rise of apps like Instacart, flip, flashfood, shopping lists, and other coupon and grocery related apps is evidence that the virtual shopping cart is getting more push than the one in-store.

The mobile moment
Today, successful marketing of consumer-packaged goods is all about reaching the right shoppers in the right place, at the right time on mobile. It is the digital equivalent to getting premium shelf space in-store and becoming easily accessible.
Advertisers today are achieving results by leveraging advancements in mobile advertising and using the data that 1st party SDK’s provide. Brands using these advancements in ad-tech can reach Canadians based on real world behaviours and help them along the customer journey in the moments that matter and for the reasons that matter to them when choosing to shop online.
​
CPG brands recognize that the mobile moment presents a crucial window to connect with consumers while they are making a purchase decision at home, on the go, or in store with the product in hand. In addition to real-time advertising tactics, CPG brands can leverage mobile technology to gain visibility into how product categories are changing, further optimize marketing efforts, and adjust budgets to reflect changes in supply chain and adjust location targeting to areas where the competition is struggling to meet demand.
