The A to Z of Proximity Marketing with Beacons

According to a recent Business Insider report, beacons are predicted to influence up to one on every four dollars spent in retail stores by 2016. In fact, many industry experts are of the opinion that proximity marketing with beacons could be one of the most effective tools that can help brands generate higher ROI with ease.

While common public opinion has it that most consumers consider beacons to be creepy – primarily due to security and privacy concerns around it , a recent Placecast report revealed otherwise. According to the report, 73% of consumers agreed that they are more likely to purchase from a store that sends beacon-triggered content and offers. That being the case, we think that proximity marketing with beacons will be one of the most dominating marketing trends of 2015.

What is surprising is that inspite of all the hype around proximity marketing with beacons, there is very little actionable information on doing it right. This has resulted in a number of disappointing beacon trials over the past year.
