AppCard launched its Digital Circular, which turns a static weekly ad into a clickable circular. Its Pinky AI adds recipes from a library of more than 6,500 recipes and lets shoppers add ingredients to a shopping list. The same circular can run as an offsite ad targeted by household spending patterns, ZIP code, and point-of-sale data. Grocers can manage budgets and results in the AppCard Management Suite, while ads run on Google, YouTube, Gmail, and millions of news, sports, and lifestyle sites.

Why this matters: Independent grocers can use existing weekly ads in digital campaigns targeted with their own shopper and purchase data. The dashboard may also give stores a way to measure ad results without using a separate advertising platform.
