Tesco Recommends Ads Based on a Shopper's Location in a Store
Tesco Scan as you Shop devices are set to provide advertisements based on a consumer's location within the store. The retail chain has dubbed the new technology "in-store Scan as you Shop geo-targeting," claiming it is the first to provide location-relevant ads on its proprietary self-scanning devices.
“This means you’re going to be able to target customers in proximity to an aisle, to a shelf, as they navigate their way around the store,” explained Lee Roberts, head of sales at Tesco Media & Insight Platform.
Scan as you Shop is available across 580 Tesco locations but requires a Clubcard for access. By optimizing in-store touchpoints, the brand encourages immediate engagement with relevant products, fostering a more interactive and personalized shopping environment.
“It improves your existing Google search strategy by creating more visibility,” Roberts said. “It has potential to drive sales and lift sales.”
