Abstract. Offline retailers increasingly use location-based advertising to target consumers in their vicinity in real time. The rationale for the use of location-based advertising is that geographic proximity increases the relevance for consumers and, thus, the effectiveness of these campaigns. This presentation presents the results of several field experiments regarding the design and effectiveness of location-based targeting. Further, it discusses implications for digital marketing practice and future research.
