A tremendous shift is taking place in online advertising right now. Google is pushing its display capabilities
to new levels, Project Devil at AOL
is bringing art back into advertising and organizations like the Interactive Advertising Bureau
are pushing the industry to innovate with new ad formats. However, regardless of creative execution, the holy grail of advertising is the ability to reach the right person with the most relevant story — whether it’s through rich media or custom sponsorships — at the right time. At the end of the day, ads have one simple goal: to influence and drive purchases.
LivingSocial, the daily-deal site and Groupon competitor, has started a pilot program that lets customers use their smartphone’s location-sensing abilities to find deals around them.
The service, called LivingSocial Instant, launched today and is initially available only in some neighborhoods of the company’s home base of Washington, D.C. Customers who update LivingSocial’s iPhone or Android app today will see a new category called Instant Deals.

Yet thanks to the abundance of information, tools and features we’ve added to our pages, the path to purchase increasingly begins at the retail website. This increase in site traffic has given us an opportunity most have yet to realize—the introduction of meaningful advertising revenue through shopping media.
