A year and a half after relaunching as a digital-only retailer, the country’s oldest department store, Lord & Taylor, is adding a retail media network to its online offering.
Developed in partnership with InMobi, Lord & Taylor’s new digital advertising platform joins a growing slate of retail media networks designed to aid product discovery for customers and offer additional monetization solutions for retailers. Brands and agencies now have access to a full-funnel retail media platform to reach Lord & Taylor customers through sponsored product ads and shoppable video ads.
After owner Le Tote went bankrupt in 2020, investment firm Saadia Group acquired the Lord & Taylor store inventory, intellectual property and ecommerce assets. In April 2021, the brand relaunched as an online-only retailer and has since made a series of moves to become a go-to brand for “obtainable luxury,” including expansion of its online offerings into men’s and children’s apparel, homewares, accessories, travel and beauty.
“Lord & Taylor has been a trusted retailer for nearly 200 years, providing obtainable luxury to our community through a highly curated selection of brands,” said Mark Stocker, President of Lord & Taylor in a statement. “Over the past year, our focus has expanded to reimagine and reinvigorate the digital shopping experience for our customers.”
