What will make the difference between getting connected with consumers in the near future and that the messages are more or less blurred amid all that is being received in these times? Brands have to find that element that will make a difference, the issue that will make consumers connect better with one brand than another and receive better products than others. Location advertising is the issue that could completely mark the difference, which could work as an absolutely differentiating element, could be how the ads are served? When is the message sent to the consumer? Is it the most appropriate time to do it and the one that best fits to what they want to hear and need to receive at that moment?

Therefore, one of the issues that seems to be getting more and more fashionable between brands and to which they seem to be lending more and more attention to it begins to be the use of location advertising with intentions. That is, it is now much easier than ever to know where the consumer is and therefore offer messages that fit that location. Logic makes it clear that the results to be achieved are going to be much better and much more efficient if you offer a message associated with what the consumer wants at the time they wants it. An advertisement about a restaurant is going to get better when you are wandering around a city at noon looking for what to eat than when you are, for example, comfortably sitting at home after the meal.
