METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING VOLUMETRIC SALES DATA, MEDIA CONSUMPTION INFORMATION, AND GEOGRAPHIC-DEMOGRAPHIC DATA TO TARGET ADVERTISE MENTS

摘要

A disclosed example method involves generating a geographic-based consumption index for a product based on a first per-person sales volume of the product in a first cell of a plurality of geographic cells of a larger geographic area. The example method also involves generating a demographic-based consumption index for the product based on a second per-person sales volume of the product for a demographic group in the first cell. An advertisement to present to a person is selected based on an online web interest, a geographic location, and a demographic of the person and further based on the geographic-based consumption index and the demographic-based consumption index.
