LBA - Mobile or Location?

LBA - Mobile AND Location!

• Contrary to claims from earlier research, the merits of LBA do not lie in location congruent situations but rather in location incongruent situations -> not directly in front of the product.

• The underlying process is enhanced attention towards mobile (vs. stationary) ads in location incongruent situations

• If consumers are standing directly in front of the shelf, a traditional stationary ad is as effective as LBA.

• Use LBA to lure consumers to products or in the store!
