Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for delivering an offer to a mobile device associated with a potential customer. During operation, the system receives data indicating that a potential customer is at or entering a targeted area or is on a vehicle associated with one or more businesses providing offers. The system then determines, with the received data, whether the potential customer has a moment of receptivity, wherein the moment of receptivity is a period of time during which the potential customer is likely to be receptive to receiving an offer. Responsive to determining that the potential customer has a moment of receptivity for receiving an offer, the system selects an offer from one or more available offers, and sends the selected offer to the potential customer.
