How Retailers Can Use Programmatic Ads with Dan Kraus

Search is slipping, social buries links, and great employees aren’t browsing job boards. That’s the new reality for natural products retailers, and it’s exactly why we’re leaning into programmatic ads and geofencing to reach both customers and potential hires where they actually are—on their phones, inside apps, and in connected TV.

Dan Kraus of Shift Advertising walks through how precise geofences around health fairs, yoga studios, natural grocers, and even training programs can build an anonymized audience of motivated people without creeping on identities. Then we get practical: dayparting to hit after‑hours crews, CPMs you can plan for, and why a two‑week display burst can move the needle when you stay narrow on one category your store already dominates. You’ll hear examples from staffing a clean‑room manufacturer to recruiting for stretch studios, plus the reporting that matters: actions, store visits inside conversion zones, and 60‑ to 90‑day lift instead of last‑click myths.

We also cover the conversion chain most teams miss. If ads perform but sales stall, check the landing page, train staff on the exact offers running, and make sure shelves and scripts match the message. Warm audiences win fastest, so upload your email list and loyalty members, retarget recent site visitors, and use ads to boost email opens with “check your inbox” creative. In a softer economy, highlight essentials customers still buy—coffee, toothpaste, shampoo—and keep your brand top of mind so paused routines don’t become lost customers.

Whether you need a pipeline of service‑minded floor staff or you want profitable store traffic without wasting spend, this playbook shows how to target smarter and measure what matters.
