Retail Media Networks (RMNs) have become one of the fastest-growing channels in commerce. With first-party data, closed-loop attribution, and proximity to purchase, they now sit at the centre of how brands influence shoppers.
Yet even the strongest retail media strategies face a common challenge.
RMNs are excellent at capturing attention – impressions, clicks, and intent signals – but attention alone does not close the sale. Conversion happens later, at the moment of choice, when shoppers pause, compare, and decide.
And at that moment, static formats often fall short.
Modern shoppers are informed, time-poor, and risk-aware. Whether online or in-store, they want to understand products quickly and feel confident before committing. Long descriptions, feature lists, and image carousels create context – but rarely conviction.
This is where retail media video changes the equation.
Video delivers information the way humans process it best – visually, emotionally, and instantly. On the digital shelf, video becomes the closest thing to holding a product in-store.
It allows shoppers to:
Shoppers do not want more ads. They want clarity.
In retail media, attention is the entry point – but conversion is the outcome that matters. Video performs because it directly supports decision-making at the shelf.
When placed correctly, video does not distract from the shopping journey. It completes it.
While video is everywhere, not all video works for Retail Media Networks.
Social platforms deliver scale, but little control. Open web video introduces brand safety risks and weak sales attribution. In-store video can be powerful, but is often difficult to scale, manage, and measure consistently.
For RMNs, the challenge is not whether video belongs in retail – it is how to deploy video that is trusted, controlled, and built for conversion.
Retail environments demand precision. Video must enhance the shopper experience, not compete with it.

It is an end-to-end video platform that gives RMNs complete control – from content upload and approval to precise placement across on-site, in-store, and digital shelf environments, with real-time performance proof.

Attention will always matter. But in retail media, conversion is the currency that counts.

BeamReel is built to deliver it – moving people, and product, at the same time.
