drink) and actually do so3. Substitute purchase: intend to buy the brand or the product
and buy something else or don’t buy• Intend to buy “Pepsi” – bought “Coke”• Intend to buy “Pepsi” – didn’t buy soft drink• Intend to buy “soft drink” – didn’t buy soft drink

Measuring In-Store Advertising’s Audience• Pioneering Research for an In-Store Metric (PRISM):
• Is the result of an In-Store Marketing Institute initiative with Coca-Cola, Kellogg's, Kroger, Miller, P&G, and Wal-Mart
• A procedure for acquiring standard diagnostics (e.g., reach, frequency, and gross ratings) for measuring in-store media performance
• Gross impressions = traffic (i.e., freq.) x compliance (i.e., POP in-store use) x unduplicated audience (i.e., net coverage)
• Allowed brand marketers to plan and evaluate in-store advertising (e.g., Wal-Mart TV) in much the same way as they do for print and broadcast media
• Unfortunately, the project was discontinued in 2009 with the pullout of Wal-Mart
