Did you know that every campaign you run loses you money? You pay to expose people who will never set foot in your stores. It is 150 years old, and it has a name: media waste. Kairos AI reduces it to raise the contribution to in-store revenue of the media budgets you allocate, online or offline.

How much of your media budget reaches people who never walk into your stores?
Pick a channel and the monthly budget you put on it. Today, nobody tells you how much of it reaches people who never walk into your stores. Our barometer, measured with beacons in 45,000 stores, does.
1 · The channel you buy
2 · Your monthly budget on it
Where that budget goes
Today, nobody can tell you how this bar splits. That is what running blind means.
Your dead loss today
On this channel and this budget, our barometer gives a precise share of your spend that reaches people who never walk into your stores. Money you pay every month for nothing.

Same budget, more contribution to store revenue
The more of them a campaign reaches, the more it contributes to your in-store revenue. That is what Kairos does: at equal budget, it moves your spend toward the channels that reach your shoppers, and the campaign’s contribution to store revenue climbs with the curve.

For advanced marketers and rich media plans: the best media mix modeling
Iterating together toward the best mix, to maximize the in-store revenue contribution of your budgets.
Kairos AI does not only measure each channel. It looks for the exposure sequence that contributes most to in-store revenue: which channel opens, which one repeats, which one closes, and on which day. Below, the winning week of a national retailer on the demo account.
The winning sequence · typical week
Cumulative index of useful exposed visitors (base 100 = first solo exposure)
Indices computed on exposed visitors. Same budget, sequenced journey versus simultaneous activation of the same channels. Demo data, national retailer, typical week outside peak.
Sequenced journey
Cost per useful exposed visitor
Reversed sequence
The wide screen opens, the street closes. TV priming conditions the efficiency of every following exposure.
48 hours max between two steps. Beyond that, the previous wave fades. The YouTube bounce at D+1 of TV is the most profitable link in the chain.
4 display repetitions, not more. Beyond 4 contacts, each extra impression adds no useful exposed visitor: it is pure media waste.
Out of 100 people walking into your store today, how many saw your advertising?
Most store chains can’t answer. Billboards are reported with photos, radio with ratings, local TV with GRPs, digital with clicks. None of these tell you what happened at the door, so two things stay hidden: what each channel adds to your sales, and the share of your budget spent on people who never visited your stores.
According to our latest studies, that share ranges from 18% to over 77%. It isn’t a measurement gap—it’s cash bleeding out on every campaign. Kairos AI pinpoints it, then slashes the bulk of it.
And it starts with the quality of the visit data. Platforms that evaluate store visits with GPS technology get the visit wrong in 95% of cases (our internal study). With that data, you cannot grow the in-store revenue contribution of your budgets in any reliable way. Kairos AI measures visits with in-store beacons, 20× more precise than GPS.

Built for store chains that spend on local media
without seeing what comes back.
Your media spend runs blind, and part of it is lost. Billboards, radio, local TV and print reach some of your customers, but none of them tell you what they add to your sales, nor how much of the budget was spent on people who never visit.
Kairos AI measures both with beacons in your stores, then recovers the lost part and puts it on the shoppers who actually walk in.

Same budget. More revenue in store.
The first campaign is your baseline. At each iteration, Kairos AI operates a larger share of the plan, cuts the media waste it finds and moves the money toward the channels and sequences that contribute most to in-store revenue.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about recovering the media budget you spend blind.
Book a demoDo I need to be a big retail chain to use Kairos?
No, and that is the point. Kairos AI is built for store chains from 1 to 200 locations, not for big retailers with big media plans. If you spend money on billboards, radio, local TV or social and can't tell what it brings back in store, part of that budget is lost today. That is what we recover.
How much does it cost to get started?
We start from your existing media budget. Our job is to make it as effective as possible, not to push you to spend more. Beacons are free, with no hidden cost. Book a demo and we'll size it with you in 30 minutes.
How is Kairos different from foot-traffic or location-data tools?
GPS data is poor by design: collecting a reliable location signal from a smartphone is throttled by the operating systems to preserve battery, so most “visits” are inferred, not observed. Our internal study (150K visits across 400 sites) found that about 95% of GPS-based visit data is wrong. Kairos uses beacons installed in your stores, so the measurement comes from your locations, not from a panel of anonymous phones. And even if you never work with Kairos AI: do not base a business decision on GPS visit data.
Which media does Kairos work with?
All of them, including the ones that are usually impossible to measure: billboards, radio, local TV, CTV, print, direct mail and flyers, as well as social and search. Because measurement happens in store, you can compare every channel on the same scale.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Kairos doesn't buy or resell third-party location data, and results are reported in aggregate. Your sales data stays yours and is never shared with other advertisers. [Compliance mention: GDPR / CCPA]
What is Kairos?
Kairos is a measurement and media steering platform for physical retail. It shows how much in-store revenue each campaign contributes, so you can cut what doesn't work and put more behind what does.
Who is Kairos built for?
Owners and marketing teams of businesses with physical stores: independent retailers, franchisees, multi-location brands and regional chains that invest in offline media and want to manage it by ROI.
Can I keep my current agency or media partners?
Yes. Kairos sits on top of your existing media plan. Your agency keeps buying; you finally get an independent read on what each budget brings back in store.
How do I measure incrementality with Kairos?
On performance campaigns (promotions, sales events, local offers), Kairos compares stores and periods exposed to the campaign with control groups to isolate the incremental lift. On brand campaigns, we track their contribution to store revenue over time, which is a better indicator than short-term lift for that kind of investment.
