Advo targeting system appeals to grocers, adds, Publix as client
Article Abstract:
The Publix supermarket chain in South Florida is the latest advertiser to make the transition from newspaper distribution of its weekly grocery sales circulars to Advo Targeting Zones (ATZs). The ATZ is a distribution platform that targets ads to niche consumer clusters of 3,500 households using shared or co-op mail. Advo began launching AZTs in 1996 and now provides the service to parts of the US' top 10 supermarket chains. The company, which can design customized advertising campaigns for single stores or an entire region, states that chain drugstores, mass merchandisers and fast-food restaurants are also regular participants in shared mailings.
