Frequently asked questions

What hero items should I use for my media?

keyboard_arrow_down

Most importantly, at least one of the items featured in your media advertising must be the hero item submitted to Publix for your weekly circular ad. Please submit no more than 3 product shots for an event. Additionally, ALL featured products MUST have at least 90% distribution across the Publix chain.

What are Publix’s requirements for creative and ad copy taglines?

keyboard_arrow_down

Creative headlines should be driven by your product’s unique attributes – what makes your product distinctive that Publix shoppers would want to purchase it (i.e. "Kills 99% of Germs")

Please do NOT include:
Brand logo (without an explicit reason)
Recipes
Competitive brand comparisons
Ad price, digital offer or BOGO call-outs
In-store production location messaging

I am in a Publix zip code and engaging with social platforms often. Why isn’t my ad served to me?

keyboard_arrow_down

In the world of digital advertising, particularly on social media platforms, there is no guarantee that your live ad will be served to you. This is due to various factors such as platform algorithms, user behavior, ad blockers, cookie limitations, location blocked ad restrictions on your phone, to name a few.

Facebook's algorithm aims to reach people who have engaged in specific groups, have specific interests, with specific intent or awareness levels beyond just being in the specific geolocation.

Inmar always strives to optimize your ad's visibility and reach, but we are operating within the constraints of these platforms. We utilize complex algorithms to determine which ads are displayed to users, and there may be instances where your ad is served to an audience that does not include you, or others in your network.

Rest assured that we are fully committed to maximizing the performance of your campaign. We continuously monitor and adjust every program to enhance visibility and engagement. Our goal is to work collaboratively with you to achieve yours and Publix's advertising objectives, and will address any concerns or questions you might have throughout your campaign.

If it is helpful or required by your organization, Inmar can provide a social ad preview link in META to enable you to view your ad in the "wild".

In what Publix divisions will my media be served?

keyboard_arrow_down

Media is spread across all Publix divisions and to shoppers within proximity of Publix stores.

Can I use my brand’s social media handle?

keyboard_arrow_down

Inmar will use their owned handle (@SoFabMedia) unless you prefer to use your company’s handle. In this case, Inmar will need advertiser access to your handle at least ONE (1) week prior to program launch. This brand handle advertiser access can only be provided by someone who has business account admin access. If access is not granted at 1 week out from launch, Inmar will use their owned handle. Publix does not allow use of their handle for any events.

Below are instructions for providing Inmar with access to your handle.
Confirm you have the Admin role in Facebook
Navigate to the Meta Business Suite that owns the Facebook page and/or Instagram account in question
Select the relevant Page and/or Account from the Business Accounts dropdown
Click Settings near the bottom of the left navigation bar
Click More Business Settings
Under Users navigation, select Partners from the left navigation bar
Next to the search bar, click the Add dropdown button
Select Give a Partner Access to your Account
In Add a New Partner Modal, enter Inmar Intelligence’s Business ID in the Partner Business ID field. Inmar Intelligence’s Business ID: 10152683243377079 
Click Next
In Assign Assets to Inmar Intelligence modal, search and select the relevant Facebook page(s). If you do not see your page, try selecting Classic Pages on the left under Select Asset Type
Once selected, turn on the Ads or Create Ads toggle on the right under Page
In Assign Assets to Inmar Intelligence modal, click Instagram Accounts on the left under Select Asset Type
Search and select the relevant Instagram Account(s)
Once selected, turn on the Ads toggle on the right, under Instagram Account.Click Save Changes.
Email the relevant Facebook page(s) and/or Instagram account(s) to PublixCorpPrograms@inmar.com.

If my brand runs via our handle, will it be a dark post?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. A dark post does not appear on the advertiser's timeline or feed. It is an ad that only shows up on the timeline of the targeted audience. The ad does not appear for your Brand's direct followers.

What are the character limits for my captions on META and how do they appear on social platforms?

keyboard_arrow_down

• Primary Text: Matches creative headline, as the 600x600 does not use copy
• Headline Text: Matches Publix template (On Sale Now at PublixBOGO at Publix or New at Publix)
• Description: Pubix requires "Where Shopping is a Pleasure"
CTA: Get Offer or Learn More based on destination link

Why does Inmar consider Google social?

keyboard_arrow_down

Google is not just a search engine but also a platform where people connect, share, and engage with content daily. By leveraging Google ads alongside META ads, we can effectively reach consumers across various online touchpoints where they actively spend their time, thus maximizing our visibility and engagement with target audiences. This integrated approach ensures we meet consumers where they are most receptive to our messaging, driving better results for your campaign.

Can I switch media tactics or platforms within a Base Package?

keyboard_arrow_down

No, tactics cannot be changed but Inmar values your feedback and would like to know which tactics you deem the most effective to inform future packages.

What kind of measurement is included with these programs?

keyboard_arrow_down

Inmar will provide a post-analysis report at the conclusion of the campaign (roughly 4 weeks post completion), recapping media impressions, clicks and click through rate. 

Publix expects that suppliers are responsible for their own sales measurement/reporting to determine if these programs align with their objectives or prove ROI.

What are the benchmarks I can expect for this campaign?

keyboard_arrow_down

The deliverables for each campaign are outlined in the Insertion Order, based on your selected package, a la carte tactics selected, event timing and duration. While results will vary, and click-through rate is not guaranteed, we typically meet or exceed the following benchmarks:

• Paid Social Awareness Ads 0.03%
• Paid Social Traffic Ads 0.5%
• Digital Media Banners 0.05%

How will my media be contracted and invoiced?

keyboard_arrow_down

Digital Media and/or Paid Social, as well as any a la carte add-ons (excluding a digital coupon) will be on one single IO and billed on the same invoice prior to program launch.
