US 2017/0249669 A1 · PROVIDING RELEVANT PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS

Abstract

A system receives registrations of users specifying a geographic preference and product preferences for demonstrations. The system likewise receives notifications of available demonstrations from vendors. Relevant demonstrations are identified for each user. In response to detecting a demonstration meeting the user's geographic preference, a notification of the demonstration is transmitted to the user. Notifications may be sent in response to demonstrations within a threshold distance from a location specified by the user, upon the user entering a store near a scheduled time for a relevant demonstration. Notifications may be sent in response to detecting a relevant demonstration within a threshold time from a predicted shopping trip of the user.
