The program is part of the retailer’s mission to help advertising and e-commerce thrive together to aid in creating an optional shopping experience for its customers.

“BJ’s Media Edge is a meaningful step forward for both our company and our brand partners. We designed this program to leverage the power of first-party data from our highly engaged 6.5 million members,” said Monica Schwartz, executive vice president and chief digital officer at BJ’s Wholesale Club. “This new program builds upon our existing digital marketing offerings with a customizable solution for brand partners to influence our members at every stage of their purchase journey, all while driving measurable returns.”

Opportunities the program will provide include a unified Microsoft PromoteIQ interface where partners will be able to buy onsite and offsite media on one platform, reach members across highly trafficked touchpoints, and connect with in-market members and target audience segments to influence purchase behavior.
