Fetch

Overview Targeting Measurement

Fetch is a shopping and rewards app that lets consumers earn points by engaging with brands, scanning receipts, and shopping across participating retailers.

Fetch audiences are designed to complement broader media strategies by helping brands reach high-value shoppers and connect advertising exposure to downstream retail outcomes. Fetch enables brands to:

  • Act on deterministic, item-level retail and purchase behavior across online and offline commerce.
  • Reach consumers based on verified purchase and shopping behavior.
  • Build audiences at the category, retailer, brand, SKU, and product level.
  • Connect online and offline purchase activity for a more complete view of consumer behavior.
  • Measure campaign impact using retailer-agnostic and platform-agnostic data.

Fetch provides visibility across:

  • 26,000+ U.S. retailers
  • $212 billion in annualized gross merchandise value (GMV)
  • 13M+ item-level transactions captured daily

Fetch’s data coverage spans mass, grocery, club, department, convenience, restaurants, fast food, home improvement, specialty, drug, electronics, pet, liquor, and hardware categories.

Methodology

Fetch audiences are built from deterministic, first-party receipt and transaction data. The underlying data is item-level and retailer-agnostic, providing visibility into what consumers purchased, where they shopped, and how they shop across physical and digital channels.

The methodology includes:

  1. Transaction capture: Fetch captures purchase data from paper receipts scanned by users and digital receipts collected through connected email and retailer accounts, including purchases made in stores and online.
  2. Item-level classification: Transactions are organized by retailer, category, brand, product, SKU, and other relevant shopping attributes.
  3. Audience creation: Deterministic purchase and behavioral signals are used to create audiences based on actual shopping activity, including recent purchasers, category buyers, brand buyers, lapsed buyers, and retailer shoppers. Fetch also offers custom competitive conquesting segments.

Fetch’s data includes both physical and digital commerce activity, with approximately 75% physical and 25% digital purchase visibility. This helps advertisers evaluate behavior across the full path to purchase rather than relying only on online activity.
