Abstract
An interactive focus marketing system is used to generate effective marketing packages for advertising in venues such as airports. A focus marketing data set is created from inputs such as demographic information and temporal information regarding the users of the venue. The interactive focus marketing system uses the internet to connect a main server to a number of local servers, kiosks, and client servers. The kiosks have a large display that displays an attract page. The kiosks further have a user input device such as a touch screen that may be used to interact with advertiser information.
