Abstract

Various embodiments use contextual data to improve the targeting of advertising campaigns to consumers. Contextual data may include, e.g., data pertaining to products purchased or sold, places associated with a purchase or sale, and persons involved in the purchase or sale transaction. The collected contextual data may have a temporal component and a location component. The collected contextual data also has a location component, meaning that the data is associated with a particular coordinate, address, region, or other location. Time and location information may be used to recognize that sales patterns vary based on various factors. Associating a timestamp and a location with each piece of contextual data allows the system in some embodiments to subsequently improve advertising campaign targeting using the timing and location data as described herein in some embodiments.
