> Could be a very good coincidence
Literally the last two times I have text my wife suggesting pizza for dinner I have had an advertisement SMS from Dominos moments later. If it wasn't for the shocking state of Dominos tech (website and mobile app) I would think they had some crazy surveillance going on!
- lewispollard 13y agoSome kind of pavlov's dog response? IE Dominos sends SMS marketing on a roughly predictable timetable, and on a couple of days those messages arrived late, causing you to subconsciously anticipate pizza news and suggest getting pizza? Probably not, I'm talking out of my ass.
- xauronx 13y agoI hope so, that would be awesome.
- sciguy77 13y agoSeems possible actually. Wasn't there just something yesterday on Dominos using pizza-smelling ink on DVDs? The DVD would heat up in the player and produce a pizza smell, inspiring hunger and hopefully a trip to Dominos. That's pretty dastardly. Timing advertisements seems to be much more in the realm of possibility.
- ryanhuff 13y agoWith the current state of mobile app permissioning, I wouldn't be surprised if analytics companies are mining text message history for signals. This should be easy for you to test though.
- tlear 13y agoYour cell phone provider could be selling them that stuff, seems like a really good revenue stream and easy to implement
- robmcm 13y agoSomehow this seems much more creepy than Google doing the same with emails.
