With holiday shopping season just around the corner, many large retail chains are all set to leverage beacons to grant shoppers a memorable shopping experience. The recent rollout of 4000 beacons across 786 stores of Macy’s in the U.S, is a perfect example of how much retailers are banking on beacons to re-define in-store customer experience.
However, for this highly disruptive technology to be successful, it is critical that marketers do not overdo beacon marketing, as it may cause them to lose out on loyal customers. According to a recent study by inMarket, a company that helps brands implement beacons – with every other push notification that is delivered per store visit, marketers risk a whopping 313% drop in app usage.
