1. A method for dynamically generating an advertisement, comprising:

  • storing, in a storage device,

         1) a plurality of static content,

         2) information associated with a plurality of users including identifying information of each of the plurality of users and information classified in one or more of a plurality of categories of demographic data of each of the plurality of users,

         3) a plurality of dynamic content associated with each of the plurality of categories of demographic data, and

         4) a template including predetermined areas for static and dynamic content;

    receiving, at a server device, information identifying a user of a computing device at a cart in a brick and mortar shopping establishment;

    establishing, at the server device, a session between the server and the computing device based on the received identifying information of the user;

    determining, at the server device, an advertisement for a product should be sent to the computing device;

    accessing, at the server device, the stored template and static content;

    selecting, at the server device, at least one of the stored dynamic content based on the demographic data associated with the user;

    dynamically generating, at the server device, the advertisement for the product by populating the template with the static content and the selected at least one dynamic content;

    transmitting the dynamically generated advertisement for the product from the server device to the computing device for display;

    receiving, at the server device, information from the computing device indicating selection of the product for purchase; and

    storing, in the storage device, the information regarding the selection of the product for purchase and information regarding the dynamically generated advertisement, including the selected at least one dynamic content included in the dynamically generated advertisement; and

    associating the stored information regarding the selection of the product for purchase with the stored information regarding the dynamically generated advertisement to determine the effectiveness of the dynamically generated advertisement;

    establishing an effectiveness threshold for at least one dynamic content based on amount of the product selected for purchase;

    for each dynamically generated advertisement including the at least one dynamic content, determining whether the product was selected for purchase based on the information received from the computing device;

    determining a number of times the product was selected for purchase in relation to a number of times the at least one dynamic content was included in the dynamically generated advertisement exceeds the threshold; and

    modifying the association of the at least one dynamic content with at least one category of demographic data, or modifying the at least one dynamic content, or transmitting a message to a manufacturer of the product advising the manufacture of the ineffectiveness of the at least one dynamic content if the number of times the product was selected does not exceed the predetermined effectiveness threshold.
