Zusammenfassung:Exemplary systems and methods are provided for directing offer content to consumers at communication devices, while the consumers are at merchants. An exemplary method includes detecting an application identifier associated with a communication device at or near a merchant, and receiving signal strength records from the communication device indicative of signal strengths for wireless networking devices at a given time and associated with the application identifier. The method also includes accessing a zone map for the merchant that includes different zones each defining a position of at least one product, and plotting a path of the communication device, per given time, relative to the zone map. The method further includes displaying an offer for a product to the communication device, based on the path of the consumer through the merchant, along with other factors such as historical behavior patterns of the consumer, similar patterns from other consumers, etc.
