Unlimited Custom Audiences
Advertisers can combine football segments with additional purchase-based signals for even greater targeting precision.
Combinations of attributes can be tailored to your specific brand, category, or campaign objectives — from ID-based targeting to precision area targeting, or a combination of both.
The possibilities are virtually unlimited across our full taxonomy of CPG, retail, digital purchase, and geo-based insights.

Location-Based Targeting
Our custom audiences can be layered with location-based targeting to reach football fans based on their proximity to specific stores or store types. This drives in-store conversion by reaching consumers near the point of purchase.

Wholesale Clubs
Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s Wholesale Club

Convenience Stores
7-Eleven and other national chains

Mass Merchandisers
Target, Walmart Supercenter

Liquor Retail
Total Wine & More

Sporting Goods
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Dick’s Sporting Goods
Example: Football Fans + Domestic Beer Shoppers + Total Wine Proximity — reaches football fans who buy beer and are near a Total Wine location, driving in-store purchase at the moment of intent.
Location targeting is not limited to the retailers listed above. We can build proximity audiences around any store type or specific retailer in the TDLinx universe.
