Abstract
In a promotion offering system, a consumer is more likely to purchase a promotion offering if the consumer finds the promotion to be interesting or fits a need of the consumer. In order to provide a more intelligent selection process for selecting promotions that are desirable to the consumer, a method and a promotion offering system for implementing the method are provided that takes into consideration a number of different factors associated with a consumer, including locations and deal types that are known or predicted to be of interest to the consumer, when determining one or more promotions to present to the consumer.
