UI/UX
A leading provider of beacon-powered mobile marketing to large-scale retailers, brand advertisers and publishers. Beacons are Bluetooth-powered sensors that may be installed on walls to detect nearby devices.
How can retailers effectively engage customers in-store and increase sales?
Problems:
Retailers struggle to capture shoppers' attention in physical stores
Traditional marketing methods are becoming less effective
Customers often use smartphones while shopping, but this isn't leveraged
How it works:
Bluetooth-powered sensors (beacons),Wifi are installed throughout the store
Beacons detect nearby smartphones
When a customer enters a specific area, the system triggers personalized messages
Geofences outside of the store capture users before and after they leave the store.
Customers receive relevant offers or product information on their phones
