Campaign Overview

A prominent US convenience store chain sought to increase in-store foot traffic by activating more than 12,000 locations with personalized promotions. The primary objective was to drive store visits at scale while maintaining a simple and efficient production process.  

To achieve this, Equativ implemented a scalable, geo-personalized strategy delivered across Display and Online Video (OLV) formats. Supported by SofiaPulse, the team activated the entire retail footprint using just 10 ad tags. This enabled 12,000+ unique variations personalized by geographic location, price point, and specific promotions without requiring additional manual effort. To validate the campaign's effectiveness, Equativ also partnered with InMarket to conduct a comprehensive foot traffic study measuring incremental store visits.
