deriving offer usage by the plurality of potential customers based on the determination.

6. The method as claimed in claims 1 and 5, wherein generating one or more real time offer recommendations to the plurality of potential customers comprising the steps of:
determining real time product interest score associated with one or more areas of interest and real time buying patterns of the plurality of potential customers based on customer activity (CA) and past product interest score;
determining one or more alternate offers (AO) based on the real time product interest score and real time buying patterns thus determined; and
providing the one or more alternate offers (AO) to the plurality of potential customers.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
determining real time campaign effectiveness index based on the real time offer usage, CA, SVI, AO, RI, PI and CC scores each SCM associated with the plurality of customers;
comparing the real time campaign effectiveness index thus determined with a predetermined threshold campaign effectiveness index;
modifying, based on the comparison, the customer convenience (CC), one or more customer records (CR), the SCM and determining a new product interest (PI) score based on store visit information, past buying patterns and past customer activity;
comparing the new product interest (PI) score with the past product interest (PI) score; and
determining one or more relevant personalized offers and one or more alternate offers based on the comparison.

8. A personalized offer management system for enabling real time location based personalized offer management to customer, said system comprising:
