  • Promotion processing system for identifying store location for an aisle violator sign and related methods
    Patent number: 11532011
    Abstract: A promotion processing system may include a point-of-sale terminal at a store to collect purchased product identifiers from products being purchased, and a promotion generation server. The server may obtain the collected purchased product identifiers from the point-of-sale terminal, determine a store-transaction count based upon the collected purchased product identifiers, and for each purchased product identifier, map the corresponding product to an aisle location within the store. The server may determine a corresponding aisle-transaction count for the aisle location corresponding to each product based upon the mapped aisle locations, and determine shopper paths of travel within the store based upon the store- and aisle-transaction counts. The server may identify a location within the store for an aisle violator sign for a promoted product located in one of the aisle locations based upon the shopper paths of travel and the aisle-transaction counts, and generate a digital promotion for the promoted product.
