A system and method provides incentives within a retail environment (103, 105) involving identifying shopping behavior indicators and providing incentives based on the identified shopping behavior indicators. Shopping behavior indicators comprise information related to a specific customer product selection, the information selected from the group consisting of: product type, name, brand, quantity, grade, price per unit, UPC, weight, source, shelf life and the like. These characteristics are a strong indicator of instantaneous consumer needs and desires. The present invention identifies one or more incentive offers associated with the shopping behavior indicators and provides the identified incentive offer after a customer has selected a specific product package and before the point of sale (105). The incentive offer may be provided in the form of a coupon that is printed at the time of product selection or preprinted and applied to a product package at any time before the consumer selection of the product package (201), including at centralized packaging and distribution facilities. |
