Street-Smart Digital Segmentation

How Do you Increase Retail Sales by 50%? Answer: Through Effective Digital Segmentation of People who walk-in to your Retail Store. Count. Classify. Communicate. The Aida, Lorna and Fe analogy represents a simple but actionable segmentation of Walk-ins.

For a child, that explanation would be too long. For the child in this vendo commercial, the extra mile is 2 cans of Coke. (not sure though if this is a legitimate commercial that actually aired.) Wouldn't you like to be the preferred brand?
