Hinweis der Redaktion
- -Business can set up multiple Bluetooth Beacons within and around their store to broadcast its signal -Beacons can pinpoint if customers are in range of its signal and their app/Passbook pass determines what to do when they inside that range -For example, the app can be programmed to deliver a personalized message or coupon.

- Remember 2002’s “Minority Report” when Tom Cruise is running through the mall and getting virtually targeted by all those ads? That’s set in 2054 but similar targeting is already possible now. This hyperlocal targeting is just the next evolution into what is called….
- Image Credit: MobileLeadsLocal.com …convenience marketing! What is that? How do we practice “convenience marketing?”
- Apple iBeacon = released 6/13 Facebook Beacons = released 6/15 Google Eddystone = released 7/15 – named after the Lighthouse in UK of the coast of Devon. Yext XoneBeacons = released 9/15 BLE Beacons (Dedicated Beacons used to mark zones or areas for personalized targeting) Apple iBeacon is the more popular choice…for now. And it does work with Android, however, since Eddystone is open source and offers cross-platform support for both iOS and Android, it has an edge over iBeacon, which works only with select compatible iDevices.
- Check-out http://beaconstac.com/beacon-hardware-guide for a full review of individual beacons and price points. Sensoro, etc. Gimbal Series run $5 and have a 3-month battery and up to 50m range or you can go up to the Kontakt level and pay $79 for what is a six-year battery and a 200m range.

- Beacons operate using Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Smart which is the latest iteration of the classic Bluetooth functionality that has been around since 1994. Bluetooth and WIFI can both be used to power beacons but Bluetooth tends to have a pretty good strangehold right now based on the low energy needed to operate. It also tends to go through walls, around corners and is just more “agile” than WIFI. But the most important reason that Bluetooth seems to be the standard is this: “Unlike WIFI which never asks for permission to connect, consumers must turn on BLE on their phones, allow location detection, and, if an app is used by the retailer, opt-in for notifications.” That’s more customer-friendly.
- Once a customer comes within about 100 feet of the device, they'll have access to place tips on Facebook. This "place tips on Facebook" pops up inside the Facebook app automatically. Limited in that you can’t really push “custom offers.” It’s more to drive general awareness. There are some clear benefits thought: -More reach: increase engagement and drive “likes.” -More reviews: beacons will increase your reviews, especially if you “ask” for them. -More influence: you can target and direct your fans/customers while in your locations. This can and will drive more sales.
- Runs on the iBeacon Wireframe the Yext Xone beacons require an app to use, you DO NOT just need to download the Yext app. Yext is setting up App Partnerships so that if you have any of these other apps installed, they will be able to "read" the Xone beacons and serve specific tailored notifications. Yext has partnered with app developers to listen for the Xone beacon. If a consumer has the Xone-enabled app open and Bluetooth® enabled, an on-screen message will be triggered within the app. Says they have 40+ apps that reach 30 million users currently – includes Mapquest, myTuner, QuakeFeed and some others.
- - iBeacon transmits a UUID (16 digit string of numbers), Major (4 digits) and Minor (4 digits). That’s it. Nothing else. They aren’t mini-servers or tracking devices. Beacons themselves do not track anything. Apps do the tracking if that’s what they are programmed to do. with the launch of iOS 7.1 Apple announced a game-changing improvement to iBeacon. Now, once an app is installed, it will “look” for beacons even if the app is shut down or a user has rebooted his/her phone You can also use “Apple Passbook” to send push notifications - PassBook is a utility application on iOS devices which has the ability to tie-in with iBeacon technology - iBeacon still very popular but losing ground daily to Eddystone
- does not need a mobile app to send messages to smartphone users Uses three different wireframes to send information, substantially more functionality. - Google Now can provide increased contextual information (showing menu items when users sit down in restaurants) - restaurants can push discount codes, and happy hour specials through URLs, these can be more personalized. - integration with Google Maps provide real-time transit information and fast-access to real-time schedules - museums and tourist attractions won't need docents or tour guides, information can be sent directly to the user via URL. - asset tracking will be increased, you can attach beacons to your bags and track them at the airport - never lose a bag again! NOTE: The only way Eddystone can work with a device that does not have a compatible app installed, is to transmit using the URL packet How do you protect against hacking or someone putting up a beacon at the entrance to a sports arena and trying to inject malware? That’s where the EIDs come into play. Google created these to allow beacons to broadcast a signal that is only identifiable to ‘authorized clients’. To prevent such hacking/malware attacks.
- Swirl platform is currently deployed at leading retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada, including Lord & Taylor, Marriot, Hudson’s Bay, Urban Outfitters, Alex & Ani, Kenneth Cole and Timberland stores. Surveyed thousands of shoppers over a period of 3-months
- Right now beacons are in their infancy. There are less than 500,000 installed US-wide.
- 85% of the top 100 US Retail Locations will be equipped with Beacons by end of 2016 that’s about 3.5 million unique locations Estimates for total beacon deployment continue to skyrocket. ProxBook says that worldwide there will be 400 million beacons by 2020.

- Google's recent announcement of Eddystone support for Chrome browser on Android was hailed by business leaders as a game changer for the proximity marketing industry The release of Android Chrome support for Eddystone enables 800 million additional users seamlessly to be able to interact with the Physical Web aka Eddystone-URL.
- This is important because of the Physical Web. The Physical Web is a discovery service powered by bluetooth low energy beacons. Smart objects broadcast relevant URLs that any nearby device can receive. It is now standard with Chrome and available on most of your smartphones. This uses the Eddystone URL wireframe to push out content. - The Physical Web acts like a universal app that allows users to walk up to any device - a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, a rental car - and get useful content via URLs.
- The growth of this “Physical Web” is what is going to make things like the Digital Concierge a reality and make all of you in the audience MASTERS and meeting the needs of your customers.
- This is currently happening.
- Starwood Preffered Guest is known for their Westin, W, Sheraton and other brands. SPG Keyless is the first truly keyless solution for a global hotel brand. In some regions, SPG members are able to check in from their device and go straight to their room. An iBeacon picks up the guest’s phone when in close proximity and unlocks the room door, giving the guest a keyless entry to his room. This is such an engaging and efficient experience for a guest. Benefits for hotels: Virtual check-in Finding the room and indoor navigation Keyless entry into rooms In-room controls Room service Offers and loyalty programs And of course, check-out
- This is currently happening.
- The apple watch specifically features Bluetooth 4.0 which is going to allow retailers to actually track you with hyperlocalized offers as well. Marsh Supermarkets in IN – the first grocery store chain (75 stores) to launch an iBeacon-Apple Watch integration. The technology allows for shoppers with an Apple Watch and applications with inMarket’s application technologies to be notified of their shopping lists when they enter any Marsh store.
- This is currently happening.
- First big Eddystone case study by Google was in Portland for the PTA 87 light rail stations beam notifications to commuters Uses Bluevision beacons to connect with cell phones (no app required) Instead they use the “alert” screen to pop up notifications to those in range from the cloud Users can then use browse these notifications to see arrival and departure information
- For shorter range, 15ft or less, the beacons last 3+ years. For longer range, 50ft+, the beacons last 6-12 months. Beacons powered by replaceable AA batteries. In order to interact with the beacon, Bluetooth needs to be turned on and the customer needs to have the app downloaded on their phone. A beacon by itself does nothing. However, you can trigger a notification reminder to “turn on the bluetooth” with our Geofence feature.
- NY-based Mobiquity Networks owns and operates the largest shopping mall‐based beacon advertising network in the U.S. This network is installed in mall entrances and common areas. It allows retailers to target customers without having to install and operate their own beacons. It allows anyone to target over 50,000+ storefronts. More beacon networks can be researched at ProxBook.com.
- Key areas that you should take note while using a beacon network are the popularity (and adoption) of the app and the terms and conditions with regards to the data ownership (specific to your business). It is always advisable to agree on mutual data ownership with the third party app, as the data mined can be used for strengthening your customer knowledge, online marketing and omni-channel strategy. More beacon networks can be researched at ProxBook.com.
- - If you are going to be using beacons you need to give your audience a “heads up.” Provide your target audience with full information and a review of the benefits so they can make an informed choice.
- Are you providing a discount? A free product? Is the messaging worthwhile or just a “hey, we are cool and have beacons” message?
- Black Friday as people are rushing through the store…probably not the “best” time. But as they are all lining up outside? Maybe.
- Think through an in-depth scenario map of how you want your beacon to perform. When and where do you want that beacon to perform? Check-out estimote.com/indoor/ for a free Beacon Mapping SDK (Software Development Kit)
- The average reaction rate to these notifications was just six percent across iOS and Android devices. Quora is a great example of notification fatigue. Their apps used to send dozens of notifications a day in 2014. And if you had something go viral, you would receive a notification for each upvote which could be in the 100’s it was insane. Fortunately, they revamped this in late 2014…these are issues you must be aware.
- Make sure to link your beacon marketing strategy to print, digital, and email initiatives. Just like anything else, it should be coordinated and publicized.
