Abstract

A mechanism is provided for prioritizing advertisements for a location. The mechanism identifies one or more person at the location and identifies a set of advertisements associated with a set of products for the location. The mechanism determines a score for the one or more persons indicating their likelihood to promote or detract from each of the set of products. The mechanism prioritizes the advertisements in the set according to the aggregate scores of the one or more persons for the products of the advertisements. The mechanism identifies a target person at the location to which the advertisement is to be directed and wherein determining a score of the one or more persons excludes or weights the target person.
