(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Digiday, Simon Property Group is using first-party location data from its malls to let brands target shoppers in Simon locations and other retail environments, plus new measurement tools based on Simon's consumer data.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you sell physical products through retail, Simon's location-based audience buying could let you find lookalike shoppers who walk Simon malls but buy from your competitors. The play is to test a small paid-media buy (50-100K impressions) targeting 'shoppers who visited Simon malls + competitor retail stores in the last 60 days.' Measure cost per acquisition and lifetime buyer value against your other audience segments. If that cohort outperforms, scale it. You are buying access to real offline intent data, not guessed demographics.\nWhat that means for you: Retail media is moving from 'buy ads in-store on a shelf' to 'buy access to shoppers based on where they already walked.' Simon is ahead of most retail networks because it owns the foot traffic. This is early territory—most brands have not tested it yet. The brands that will win are the ones that run a small test this quarter.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/media/location-data-fuels-mall-giant-simons-new-pitch-to-advertisers/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
