Mobile Ad-Supported Checkouts

Sam's Club is Launching Display Ads in its Mobile App

Sam's Club is enhancing its marketing schemes with the launch of new display ads for its mobile application. This new feature will help guests seamlessly scan items, complete payment, and skip the checkout line while also promoting other Sam's Club products and deals through detailed ads.

Sam's Club MAP ads are refreshed after each new product scan, ensuring a new item is displayed for customers with each movement. With this new enhancement, Sam's Club hopes its incremental sales for associated products will increase.

“This new capability reflects our member obsession and commitment to ensuring ads reach the right members at the right time in their shopping journeys,” says Diana Marshall, Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer, Sam's Club.
