Instacart Ads
Inspiration ads
Promote discovery and drive conversion with curated product pairings that engage out-of-aisle consumers. Discover flexible merchandising solutions for building loyalty, boosting awareness, and enhancing cross-category performance.
Recipe Ads
The not-so-secret ingredient? Your products
Recipe ads are sponsored formats that help turn curious consumers into brand loyalists. Provide simple cooking instructions for a meal, then take consumers to a landing page with all the recipe ingredients. One click places all products in the recipe — including your brand’s — into their carts.
Occasions
Bring your brand into more moments
Bring aisles together to complete a shopping mission and inspire consumers to explore seasonal or everyday occasions starring your brand.
