Small, battery-powered, low cost. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons can power a wide range of proximity scenarios. LocalSocial and 3rd Party Beacons We supply own-brand production-ready beacons for Retail Deployment. Platform also works with Beacons from several manufacturers. This gives you flexibility.
20. Retail / Wholesale Options for mobile engagement
21. Several places across retail where mobile engagement may make sense Engagement Options 21 Entrances Opportunity to greet on arrival lto stort, as well as to remind about Offers, Specials, or Order Status (e.g. pick ups) In store - mark out specific zones ! - Greetings at individual retail areas or concessions within areas - Offers that only unlock “right here” - Points “just for being here” - Digital product information for products nearby, or behind glass - Analytics for all the above. Eat / Drink Similar to retail, but instead focused on contextual offers relevant to te specific bar or eating area where the customer is situated. Waiting May be options to trigger specific messages, or offers based on waiting area.
22. 22 How does it work? Place Beacons at specific areas within retail spaces Customer with App sees greeting, or award, or offer at that space
23. Offers re-order as you walk - so nearest to you lights up and sits on top “under your thumb”
24. Can create “zones” - and have them re-order based on nearest (women’s area lights up, as user is in it)
25. In-store location and the customer journey Journey and Context Arrival Welcome / Greeting. Personal concierge (“whisk away”). Alert to staff member. Departure Thanks. “by the way…”, RAOK.
