Scene 1: The Visit

Picks up a few pairs

Checks prices

Even tries one

Ravi:

Looks at running shoes

Meena notices everything quietly… but doesn’t disturb him

After a while, Ravi says:

“Nice shoes, I’ll come back later.”

Scene 2: The Smart Thinking

Now, most shopkeepers would forget Ravi

But Meena has a smart assistant named Pixel

Pixel tells Meena:

“Ravi was interested in running shoes”

“He almost bought them”

“He just needs a small push!”

Scene 3: The Comeback Strategy

The next day, Ravi is walking past the same street

This time, he sees a board outside Meena’s shop:

“Special Offer on Running Shoes – Just for You!”

Ravi is surprised:

“Wait…

I was looking at these yesterday!”

He walks in… and buys the shoes

From Real Shop to Digital Tracking

Just like Meena used her assistant to observe Ravi’s behavior

Remember the products he was interested in, and bring him back to the shop with a relevant offer.
