Abstract

See full text

A computing apparatus is configured to summarize transaction data via aggregating transactions according to geographical regions (e.g., based on postal codes) for a plurality of merchant categories, normalize the aggregated spending across the merchant categories for each geographical region, rank the regions for each category based on the normalized spending, generate percentile indicators based on the ranking result, and generate spending indices that are proportional to the normalized spending within each category. The spending indices and percentile indicators of a geographical region across the set of merchant categories represent a spending profile of the region. The spending profile is indicative of the spending preferences of the region but does not reveal the actual spending amounts of any individual, family or region. The spending profile can be used in targeted advertising, and in measuring advertisement audience and campaign performance.
