Overview

Newpossibility designs audience taxonomies that align with retail KPIs — visit-to-purchase lift, basket-value uplift, and retention. We merge deterministic store data, location signals, and contextual indicators to build segments ready for Google Ads, Meta, DSPs and retail media platforms.

Methodology

Our approach combines three layers:

  1. Location & visitation: store catchment, visit frequency.
  2. Behavioral: purchase categories, recency, loyalty indicators.
  3. Contextual & temporal: weather, promotions, seasonal shifts.

We prioritize privacy-preserving joins and differential rollout across platforms to maintain PIPEDA compliance.

Typical retail segments

Segment Definition Use case
Recent in-store visitors Visited any store in last 14 days Drive immediate promotion response
High-frequency spenders Top 10% by spend in 90 days Premium cross-sell campaigns
Abandoned cart (online) Added items but did not purchase within 48h Retargeting with offer

All segments are available at province, CMA (city), and store catchment levels where data permits.

Implementation roadmap

Connect POS, loyalty, and location signals. Clean and standardize identifiers; apply privacy-safe hashing where required.

Build rule-based and probabilistic segments. Validate against holdout KPIs like uplift on visits and AOV.

Map segments to platforms (DSP, Google Ads, Meta) via secure IDs. Set up incrementality tests and closed-loop measurement where possible.
