Social Media Shakeup: Pivot to Kroger's Winning Ad Strategies
As social media shifts dramatically, now is the time for brands to adapt. For marketers, this isn’t just about staying ahead; it’s about meeting your audience where they’re spending their time.
Pivot your social advertising to proven, data-driven platforms that ensure meaningful connections with your shoppers.
Kroger Precision Marketing (KPM) provides solutions to help brands maximize their impact across key social platforms. Here’s how you can tap into these opportunities today:
Instagram & Facebook: Engage where it matters most
Meta platforms (Instagram and Facebook) are ideal for brands looking to create deeper connections. Whether through sponsored posts, carousel ads, or dynamic video campaigns like Instagram Reels, these formats drive awareness and traffic back to high-performing products.
Meta’s platforms deliver measurable impact:
- Dynamic carousel ads use personalized product recommendations and sales reporting to drive online Kroger sales.
- Closed-loop measurement solutions to better understand ROI.
By integrating KPM’s first-party shopper data, your ads target the most relevant audiences, leading to impulse buys and increased cart sizes. Instagram Reels, in particular, offer a dynamic way to engage Kroger shoppers, inspiring them with snackable, eye-catching content. Facebook reports that 3.5 billion Reels are reshared every day, and 2/3 of people surveyed have purchased a product or service after watching Reels.

Snapchat: Drive engagement with immersive ads
Snapchat is where entertainment meets action. Known for its immersive ad formats, the platform is perfect for reaching younger audiences who enjoy sharing shopping moments and exploring new products.
According to Snapchat, 77% of Snapchatters 16+ use Tiktok monthly, and 60% use it daily. With KPM insights powering your campaigns, your ads show up for Kroger shoppers when they’re most receptive.
What sets Snapchat apart:
- Campaigns are optimized for high quality, highly engaging placements.
- Ads that lead directly to Kroger.com for instant cart additions or coupon clipping.
Leverage Snap Ads or Story Ads to create authentic, engaging experiences. With a relatively low minimum budget of $50,000 and a 4-8 week campaign window, this is an accessible starting point for brands looking to experiment.
