mobile proximity marketing
vos clients / utilisateurs auront la possibilite de recevoir des information / promotions etc. depuis le plus proche beacon, installe dans le perimetre respectif, a l’interieur de votre magasin / building / espace.
par exemple, en traversant un certain departement, le beacon local va emettre:

des notifications contenant des offres specifiques, des promotions ciblees etc.;
des informations utiles pour la clientele aidant a la fidelisation des utilisateurs en les gardant informes, enrichissant leur experience.

en arrivant dans un autre perimetre, le client / utilisateur va recevoir les informations du beacon suivant, localise a l’interieur de cette surface-ci, chaque beacon pouvant emettre en conditions normales sur une surface de 0 a 100 metres, la distance ideale, pour la meilleure efficacite etant de 0 a 20 metres.

micro-location and user targeting
connaitre l’emplacement exacte de l’utilisateur / du client, permettra donc de:

pouvoir intervenir aupres de celui-ci en lui fournissant des informations exactes a un moment precis et dans un contexte specifique, recevant ainsi le feedback clientele estimee specifique a un certain contexte.

monitoriser le comportement du client, ses interets et les donnes de sa position exacte a l’interieur de l’espace respectif menera a l’obtention exacte et tres personalisee de son profil, besoins individuels etc. pouvant ainsi repondre parfaitement a ses attentes

cumuler ensuite toutes ces informations, les classifier et les trier de sorte pour surprendre au mieux le client, en but de sa satisfaction, sans l’agresser avec des propositions inutiles, qui agacant la clientele ciblee, risqueraient de ennuyer le client et le faire perdre son interet.

indoor mapping
les beacons sont tres utiles quand on traverse des grandes surfaces comme des malls, des airports, des musees, des stades etc.
un beacon a l’entree pourrait guider la personne respective, meme si la personne n’est pas encore habituee a ce genre de technologie.

mobile tour guides
evidemment, c’est tres aproprie aux grandes surfaces qui necessitent d’avoir un guide pour accueillir et diriger les clients / utilisateurs comme les musees etc.
grace a cette technologie, le client / utilisateur est accompagnie, en recevant des informations utiles, qui lui seront destinees en fonctions de ses interets.
en informant le client au fur et a mesure, tout au long de sa visite, le beacon peut rendre la visite tres interessante et motivante, enrichissant son experience.

en activant le device / le terminal pendant la visite, pour rendre la communication avec les beacons possible, l’utilisateur pourra mieux se contenter de sa visite, en renoncant aux cartes, manuels etc et en se concentrant a explorer, retenir, apprendre, reagir etc., rendant ainsi sa visite inoubliable.

mobile payments
les beacons paypal sont des terminaux low energy - module destine aux magasins et d’autres business du genre permettant aux clients de payer hands-free / mains libres.

les dispositifs realisent la communication entre les points de vente et les devices mobiles des utilisateurs sans passer par la technologie gps, wireless ou des reseaux mobiles.
le client installe l’application paypal sur son device mobile et il selectionne les preferences.
si le client selectionne une position exacte une vibration lui confirmera le check-in, pendant qu’une photo apparaitra sur le p.o.s.
c’est une confirmation verbale qui confirmera ensuite que la transaction est complete et le tiquet sera envoye automatiquement par mail.

data collection and business intelligence
l’un des benefices les plus connus des beacons est l’usage des donnes collectionnes pour le business intelligence.
les clients peuvent par exemple apprendre ainsi quel est le nombre des visiteurs a un moment donne dans un endroit specifique, quand l’affluxe des personnes est le plus eleve a l’interieur de l’espace respectif, combien de temps passe une personne dans l’espace donne et dans quel emplacement exacte du magasin / de la surface en question.
toutes ces donnes sont tres utiles pour observer le comportement des clients et en deduire leurs besoins, obtenant ainsi le plus exact moyen pour augmenter ses ventes, par exemple, surtout que les donnes sont tres concretes etant donne que c’est le client lui-meme qui intervient directement aux cumul des informations precises qui menent aux resultats recherches.

industries
tourisme
les musees et les galleries d’art trouveront tres utile cette technologie, de connaitre l’emplacement exacte du client / utilisateur, identifie grace au beacon.
a la fin de leur visite les clients pourraient etre guides vers l’espace souvenirs, le gift shop leurs envoyant des notifications en les guidant exactement lers l’espace respectif.

sports
les beacons d’un stade vont guides les spectateurs vers leurs place mentionnes sur leurs billets ainsi que vers les espaces ‘’toilettes’’, ou ‘’boissons’’, ‘’sorties’’ etc. ou annoncer un evenement qui s’approche etc.
transport
les beacons situes en aeroports, garres et arrets de bus etc permettent une meilleure organisation et developent une tres bonne communication avec les voyageurs qui grace aux beacons seront diriges vers leurs destinations, en leur offrant a tout moment des donnes sur les eventuels re**rds, deviations, billets etc.
donc les beacons dans le tranport signifie:
payment automatique / automatise,
traffic optimisation,
monitorisation de la route,
trouver le meilleur intineraire etc.

sante
les hopitaux qui utilisent les beacons ont les accueils plus degages, parce que grace aux beacons les patients et les visiteurs pourront etre accueillis, guides et suivis, meme en manque de personel, ou durant la nuit etc, les beacons pourront les diriger vers le departement specifique pour lequel ils ont opte.

home
a la maison les beacons peuvent controler le comportement des devices connectes a l’interieur et autour de la maison.
par exemple, le systeme d’illumination peut etre configure pour se declancher et s’allumer des que le systeme detecte un mouvement, c’est-a-dire la presence du client dans un certain espace dans la proximite d’un beacon et en la presence de l’application sur le telephone de l’utilisateur.

energy
les beacons situes au bureau, a la maison, ou tout autre espace du genre peuvent gerer la consommation d’energie electrique sans que cela soit un inconvenient pour l’utilisateur car grace aux beacons le systeme sera capable de gerer la consommation (PC, ecrans, lumieres etc) en fonction de la presence de l’utilisateur (qui s’approche, s’eloigne etc).

airports
les aeroports pourront ainsi, grace aux beacons, annoncer les touristes pour leur re**rd, les diriger vite vers leurs terminal etc.
les beacons a l’aeroport peut aussi vous localiser votre voiture vous dirigeant vers votre vehicule par le chemin le plus court etc., permettant ainsi le rapel aux employes de l’aeroport et aux clients concernant votre discount sur le parking par exemple, si le client suit un programme de fidelisation et il ne s’en souvient plus.

banking
les banques utilisent les beacons pour accueillir leurs clients avec un message de bien venu suivi par des offres, promotions ou tout autre sort d’informations comme services disponibles, voire meme savoir vers quel guiche se diriger.
en plus, connaissant l’historique du client, les beacons vont lui envoyer un message personnalise, le client se situant ainsi en avantage face aux autres qui recevront que des messages generalises, le feedback devenant plus consistent.

retail
cinema
emplacer un beacon a cote de la pub d’un film ou d’un ecran faisant reclame a un film par exemple, le beacon pourrait presenter les films similaires qui seront bientot a l’ecran ou qui font partie de la meme categorie etc.

evenements & conferences
les beacons emplaces dans chaque chambre, salle etc. de l’hotel communiqueront directement aux utilisateurs ayant l’application respective associee aux beacons. par exemple, certains invites pourraient etre invites au diner a une certaine heure ou etre annonces qu’au bar ils seront servis a boire.

hotellerie
le beacon situe dans chaque espace d’un hotel simplifiera la communication avec les clients de l’hotel et tous ceux qui ont installe l’application associee aux beacons.
cela devient facile de cette maniere de tenir au courrant tous ses clients par rapport aux evenements organises dans la salle de reception de l’hotel etc.

ProxiWave: What are Beacons?
Beacon enabled solutions - Marketing made easy
What are Beacons?
A beacon is a transmitter at a specific location, emitting a continuous or periodic radio signal with limited content information (e.g. identification, location).
Beacons indicate their presence so that enabled devices can locate them. Each beacon is assigned a unique identifier. When a user’s device enters the beacon covered area, all installed apps subscribing to this unique identifier are notified.
iBeacon = protocol standardised by Apple. Various manufacturers have made iBeacon compatible hardware transmitters - beacons - Bluetooth low energy devices that broadcast their signal to nearby portable electronic devices. This technology enables these devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) to perform different actions when in close proximity to an iBeacon.
Eddystone = beacon technology profile released by Google in July 2015. Eddystone works on both Android and iOS, while iBeacon is limited to iOS platforms. The open-source, cross platform technology provides users proximity data and location through Bluetooth low energy beacon format.
Why Beacons? Benefits of beacon enabled marketing solutions:
Increase the mobile engagement - a strategy update, according to the increasing role of the mobile in people’s lives and shopping habits;
Offer industry branded remarkable experiences and quantifiable value to customers;
Eliminate the air of boring, traditional store or setting;
Influence the buying decisions at the right time and place;
Enhance the in-store shopping experience;
Access anytime, anywhere detailed insights of in-store shopping behavior;
Add to business plan a key component of omni-channel strategy.

6. Types of beacon solution based usage.
*) Mobile proximity marketing:

Depending on the location of your customers or users in your store/building/room, if they have an enabled device, they will have the possibility of receiving messages from the closest beacon. For example, when going through a specific department, the local beacon can deliver
Location specific information on special offers, interesting facts, targeted promotions, etc.
Contact customers and keep them informed while in-store to enrich their experience.
As customers or users will move to a different location, a beacon from the new area will alert them on products they are now in proximity to.

*) Micro-location and user targeting

- Knowing the customers or users’ exact location means it’s easy to send them relevant information at a precise moment and context. Being able to monitor the clients’ behaviour, interests and location patterns within a store, building or other business means that we can obtain a clearer profile of the individual. In this way, we know what they purchase, what is it that they are interested in - if they stay in a specific section/location. Thus, we can identify the factors that trigger a purchase.
All these pieces of information can be collected and analysed to get a completely personalised, relevant profile and to deploy engaging conversations.

*) Indoor-mapping:
Micro-location targeting enables you to offer users valuable pieces of information while navigating large areas, such as shopping centres, airports, museums, stadiums. For example, a person arriving in a shopping mall she is not familiar with could be guided through it via beacons. A beacon at the entrance could welcome her and direct her to specific locations of interests (stores, restaurants), presenting relevant offers where available.

*) Mobile tour guides:
Especially interesting for museums, exhibitions, cities, a user could be guided through the points of interest, as well as providing further information on their visit, to enrich their experience. Having only their mobile device enabled to received beacon communications, the user can reap more advantages than using guidebooks, focusing on exploring the respective location or city. Receiving valuable and relevant pieces of information at key attractions, as well as getting the best routes to take within the city or the museum, would add an element of flexibility and freedom to the user experience.

*) Mobile payments:

PayPal’s Beacon is a Beacon Low Energy module for stores and other businesses enabling clients to pay hands-free. The device sets up communication between points of sale and mobile devices without the use of GPS, wireless or mobile networks.
The client would have to install the PayPal app on his mobile device, set preferences for automatic check-in and approve being charged for the purchased or consumed goods.
Once the client enters the location, a vibration notifies them of their check-in, as their photo appears on the location and their picture appears on the POS.
Verbal confirmation would complete the transaction, as the receipt would be sent automatically by mail.
*) Data collection/Business Intelligence

One of the most common benefits of beacons is providing the advantage of using the collected data for business intelligence. Clients can use the data and learn, for example, about the number of people who walk by a given location in a specific time interval, when is the highest traffic throughout the day/hour/month, how long an average person spends inside the location or where exactly, within a location/store, people spend most of the time. This can be used to understand who are the clients, how do they behave - these insights can become the ground for more accurate sales actions. As the user opts-in, the data will be more accurate.

7. Industries where beacon based solutions can be used:
Events & Conferences:
On the occasion of an event or conference, customized apps can be created for monetization. Users have to be at the
event so that the content be released, as beacons will be used to prove the visitor is present. Or the users who have installed the event or conference app and are detected by beacons, can receive notifications related to speaker presentations, schedule, additional information or materials related to the event.
Cinema
Placing a beacon next to a poster or screen presenting a movie, could promote similar movies coming soon to the cinema.
Or remind clients of merchandising offers available in the lobby for the movie or after it.
Hospitality:
Placing a beacon in each room allows a hotel to communicate directly to hosted app users. For example, the guest at an event can be invited for drinks in the bar at a certain hour. This can be appreciated by a business person eager to make contacts or simply socialize when one is away from home.
Retail:
Individual, brand stores/chains: knowing there are other competitors near by, could offer a time limited offer to nearby customers to make sure they get a share of the client’s wallet before their rivals. The discount can be decreased once the time interval to entering the store increases (e.g. 30% for 5 minutes, 5% for 30 minutes).
Large stores: beacons can be deployed around the store to take clients on purchasing journeys. A beacon placed next to a specific brand could alert the customer about a matching accessory in a neighboring department.
Shopping centres can use beacons to push offers or specific incentives from their tenants. They can also set up a bidding system so that their tenants can bid to push their messages as soon as the customer enters the centre or within a time interval of the visit. Coffee shops could send messages to users present in the centre for over 30 minutes to visit them for a break.
Banking:
When a customer would enter a branch, their phone would deliver a welcome notification. A summary of available
services can be displayed on the app connected to the bank beacons. There can also be a personalized map of the branch, or a special offer reflecting the customer’s personal banking history. The bank can collect the customer data and used it to manage the interactions and sales promotions targeting the customer.
Airports:
Can track a user’s route through the airport and send reminders if they are late for their departure. Or they can send a parking location reminder; the same beacon used for parking location reminder can send a notification with a discount for the airport parking if the user joins the airport’s promotional scheme.
Energy
Beacons placed in the office or home are used to determine whether an user enters or exits to change the power saving mode of the electronic devices (PC, monitors, lights). This approach can reduce energy consumption without causing user inconvenience.
Home Automation
Beacons can be used to customize the behavior of connected devices around the house. For example, lighting or electronic devices can be configured to work when users are detected in the range of the beacon, carrying phones with customized apps.
Healthcare
Hospitals can use beacons to guide patients and visitors to units, as well as provide indications and procedures available in the entire building or specific departments;
Transportation
Beacons can be deployed on airports or ground stations so that notifications on departures, delays, gate and platform
assignments can be instantly delivered to passengers’ phones. Beacons can also help with payment automation, traffic
flow optimization, route monitoring, finding routes. Information can be delivered in terms of walking time for airport gates, the location of the nearest ATM or provision of up to date boarding information.
Sales promotions: as beacons are very small, they can be incorporated into packaging, promotional products, point-of-sale materials. For example, an FMCG product can use beacons in a display or special package, linked to a competition or game app. Clients can download the app and enter the competition/play the game and collect rewards as they would go to a store where the detection of the beacon would validate that they have entered the location.
Sports:
A sports stadium can use beacons to guide visitors to their seats. They can also promote a merchandising offer or event linked to the stadium.
Large public buildings (e.g. museums, libraries, art galleries, town halls), Tourism:
Museums, art galleries can use the users’ location, identified with the support of the beacon, to provide content linked to
individual exhibits or galleries. When the visitors approach the end of their visit and are still in the area of beacons, can receive notifications from a gift shop with buying suggestions as reminders of their visit.

Clients can use the data and learn, for example, about the number of people who walk by a given location in a specific time interval, when is the highest traffic throughout the day/hour/month, how long an average person spends inside the location or where exactly, within a location/store, people spend most of the time. This can be used to understand who are the clients, how do they behave - these insights can become the ground for more accurate sales actions. As the user opts-in, the data will be more accurate.

7. Industries where beacon based solutions can be used:
Events & Conferences:
On the occasion of an event or conference, customized apps can be created for monetization. Users have to be at the
event so that the content be released, as beacons will be used to prove the visitor is present. Or the users who have installed the event or conference app and are detected by beacons, can receive notifications related to speaker presentations, schedule, additional information or materials related to the event.
Cinema
Placing a beacon next to a poster or screen presenting a movie, could promote similar movies coming soon to the cinema.
Or remind clients of merchandising offers available in the lobby for the movie or after it.
Hospitality:
Placing a beacon in each room allows a hotel to communicate directly to hosted app users. For example, the guest at an event can be invited for drinks in the bar at a certain hour. This can be appreciated by a business person eager to make contacts or simply socialize when one is away from home.
Retail:
Individual, brand stores/chains: knowing there are other competitors near by, could offer a time limited offer to nearby customers to make sure they get a share of the client’s wallet before their rivals. The discount can be decreased once the time interval to entering the store increases (e.g. 30% for 5 minutes, 5% for 30 minutes).
Large stores: beacons can be deployed around the store to take clients on purchasing journeys. A beacon placed next to a specific brand could alert the customer about a matching accessory in a neighboring department.
Shopping centres can use beacons to push offers or specific incentives from their tenants. They can also set up a bidding system so that their tenants can bid to push their messages as soon as the customer enters the centre or within a time interval of the visit. Coffee shops could send messages to users present in the centre for over 30 minutes to visit them for a break.
Banking:
When a customer would enter a branch, their phone would deliver a welcome notification. A summary of available
services can be displayed on the app connected to the bank beacons. There can also be a personalized map of the branch, or a special offer reflecting the customer’s personal banking history. The bank can collect the customer data and used it to manage the interactions and sales promotions targeting the customer.
Airports:
Can track a user’s route through the airport and send reminders if they are late for their departure. Or they can send a parking location reminder; the same beacon used for parking location reminder can send a notification with a discount for the airport parking if the user joins the airport’s promotional scheme.
Energy
Beacons placed in the office or home are used to determine whether an user enters or exits to change the power saving mode of the electronic devices (PC, monitors, lights). This approach can reduce energy consumption without causing user inconvenience.
Home Automation
Beacons can be used to customize the behavior of connected devices around the house. For example, lighting or electronic devices can be configured to work when users are detected in the range of the beacon, carrying phones with customized apps.
Healthcare
Hospitals can use beacons to guide patients and visitors to units, as well as provide indications and procedures available in the entire building or specific departments;
Transportation
Beacons can be deployed on airports or ground stations so that notifications on departures, delays, gate and platform
assignments can be instantly delivered to passengers’ phones. Beacons can also help with payment automation, traffic
flow optimization, route monitoring, finding routes. Information can be delivered in terms of walking time for airport gates, the location of the nearest ATM or provision of up to date boarding information.
Sales promotions: as beacons are very small, they can be incorporated into packaging, promotional products, point-of-sale materials. For example, an FMCG product can use beacons in a display or special package, linked to a competition or game app. Clients can download the app and enter the competition/play the game and collect rewards as they would go to a store where the detection of the beacon would validate that they have entered the location.
Sports:
A sports stadium can use beacons to guide visitors to their seats. They can also promote a merchandising offer or event linked to the stadium.
Large public buildings (e.g. museums, libraries, art galleries, town halls), Tourism:
Museums, art galleries can use the users’ location, identified with the support of the beacon, to provide content linked to
individual exhibits or galleries. When the visitors approach the end of their visit and are still in the area of beacons, can receive notifications from a gift shop with buying suggestions as reminders of their visit.
