What is an iBeacon and 
hat does it do? 
“iBeacon” is the Apple name for a new 
tiny, low cost, Bluetooth wireless trans-mitter 
that can broadcast a message 
which can be detected by certain iP-hone 
& iPad Apps. 
The underlying iBeacon technology isn’t 
an Apple’s monopoly; in fact all recent 
Android devices already support it too. 
The excitement around the iBea-con 
technology is that smartphones 
equipped with a Beacon App can detect 
the presence of a Beacon and automati-cally 
display information on or interact 
with the smartphone. The creativity of 
an iBeacon deployment is not about the 
Beacon hardware, but about the crea-tive 
uses for the technology. 
This eBook introduces 50 ideas for Bea-cons, 
we hope that one or two ideas 
resonate with you and you can start 
your proximity marketing or informa-tion 
campaigns. 
So what is an iProximity 
Beacon? 
The information that appears on a smart-phone 
once it comes into range of an iProx-imity 
Beacon is highly customisable. This 
message could vary from a simple informa-tion 
page to a discount offer or coupon, a 
Facebook interaction, or a custom applica-tion 
could be launched. 
iProximity Beacon customers can rapidly 
modify the information or the action on the 
visitor’s mobile device through the iProx-imity 
Campaign Management System. 
iProximity Beacons are designed and con-structed 
to be suitable for both indoor and 
outdoor applications and require no main-tenance. 
No external connections, such as 
electricity or the Internet, are required to 
install an iProximity Beacon. Our Beacons 
use Bluetooth 4 or Low Energy (LE) Blue-tooth 
that does not require the pairing of 
devices and is already built into most Apple 
iOS and Android smartphones. 
There are many different brands of Bea-cons 
available, some of which conform to 
the Apple iBeacon standards, but all must 
comply with the Bluetooth standard to be 
detectable by smartphones. 
iProximity Beacons are manufactured ac-cording 
to the highest international stand-ards 
and are available in both indoor and 
outdoor (waterproof) models. The expect-ed 
battery life of an iProximity Beacon is 
2 years, but by using the iProximity Cam-paign 
Management System, you can con-veniently 
check the battery levels on all of 
your iProximity Beacons. 
An iProximity Beacon is 
our own tiny, battery 
operated, low cost 
device that transmits a 
low-energy Bluetooth 
signal. A smartphone 
installed with an 
iProximity-enabled 
App can automatically 
detect these Bluetooth 
iProximity Beacon 
signals and alert the 
phone’s owner that 
locational information 
is available.

How Does an iProximity Zone 
Work? An iProximity Zone has iProximity Beacons installed at several locations throughout the Zone. When a Zone visitor equipped with a 
mobile phone and an iProximity-Enabled App enters the range of a Beacon, useful information or contextual marketing is automatically 
displayed on the visitor’s phone. 
What is an iProximity Open Zone? 
An iProximity Zone is a defined space that is “location-enabled” using iProximity’s Beacon Technology 
How Many iProximity 
Beacons Do I Need for My 
Application? 
An iProximity Open Zone is one that enables a number of different iProximity Beacon owners to jointly market 
themselves as a Zone for cross-promotional purposes. Examples of an iProximity Open Zone may include, 
shopping centres or strip malls with a number of different retailers, food outlets, and services that all wish to be 
found when a consumerwith the iProximity-Enabled App searches a Zone. Open Zones can be easily configured 
in the iProximity Campaign Management System. 
What is an 
iProximity Zone? 
What is the Range of An 
iProximity Beacon? 
In theory, an iProximity Beacon can have a range anywhere from 2 centimetres to 70 metres, but this can be influenced by a number of 
physical and environmental factors. Therefore, distances are approximate and it is best to test with the iProximity Beacon in situ. 
The space around a Beacon is divided logically into three distance grids: “immediate” (approx. 50centimetres), “near” (approx. 50 
centimetres to 3 metres), and “far” (more than 3 metres). By using the iProximity Campaign Management System, you can determine 
the distance point that triggers the appropriate message on consumers’ smartphones. 
With the iProximity Campaign Management System, it is also possible to distinguish between a smartphone entering and leaving an 
iProximity Beacon Zone, so you can tailor your messages based on this context. 
iProximity 
Beacons 
transmitting 
range can be 
configured 
to trigger 
smartphone 
messages at the 
most appropriate 
distance 
This will depend on what you are trying to achieve with your proximity marketing plan. 
If you are simply trying to attract passing trade with a promotional offer, then 1 iProximity Beacon is sufficient. However, if you wish to 
deliver multiple messages based on the consumers’ location within your establishment, then you will need multiple iProximity Beacons. 
If you are unsure, please use the contact form or call us to discuss your exact requirements. 
An iProximity Zone is a defined space, such as a strip mall, shopping centre, sports arena, or Municipality that is “location-en-abled” 
using iProximity’s Beacon Technology. This allows visitors in that zone to receive specific information or offers on their 
smartphone about their immediate location within the Zone. 
4 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 5
Any location can become an iProximity Zone. These Zones can also be any size, ranging from several metres to dozens of kilometres. 
Some examples of effective Zones are: 
• A single retail outlet with a single iProximity 
Beacon that transmits a discount coupon to attract 
passing customers. 
• A large retail outlet with multiple iProximity 
Beacons; each Beacon provides information or 
offers on particular product located in that Zone. 
• A Shopping Centre or strip mall where a single 
Zone (Open Zone) is offered for all the outlets, but 
with each outlet’s iProximity Beacon broadcasting 
individual offers customised to their store. 
• An Exhibition or Event site that may require a mix 
of amenity information and offers from organisers, 
sponsors, or exhibitors. 
• A Gallery, Museum, Car Yard, or Nursery where 
iProximity Beacons deliver precise information 
about the product that the customer is standing 
directly next to. 
• A restaurant may have a special offer that it 
broadcasts, which allows interested passers-by to 
check if a table is available. 
An iProximity Open Zone allows different vendors or information providers to 
cross promote their services to Zone visitors 
Zone Visitors need to have an iProximity-Enabled Application on their smartphone to receive 
information. This is possible through our iProximity Zone Enabled App that is available for 
iOS or Android, or a user can add our iProximity SDK into their existing mobile application. 
We provide iProximity Zone signs with all iProximity Beacons to announce to your customers 
that they are entering an iProximity Zone. 
An iPhone coming into range of a iProximity Beacon displays 
an alert message suggesting the App is opened for more 
information 
What Areas Can Become an 
iProximity Zone? 
How Does a Zone Visitor Receive 
Localised Information? 
6 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 7
The most common page that companies choose to display is a 
rich mobile website. These pages are easily customised through 
the iProximity Campaign Management System. Common designs 
include: 
• Offers: Coupons, Discounts, and Specials that are used 
to attract passing customers or customers within the store. 
• Informational: General information or location-dependent 
information that specifically relates to products, 
artwork, surroundings, or activities. 
• Engagement: Pages designed to more deeply engage 
with a customer through social media or specific promotional or 
marketing activity. 
• Custom: A wide range of custom applications can 
be built that use the power of the phone’s precise location, 
its proximity to an item, the power of the smartphone and its 
connection to the Internet. Ask us for some specific ideas that 
relate to your business. 
The information displayed on the phone or tablet depends on the 
state of the device to some extent. Basically, visitors will receive 
a notification that they have entered an iProximity Zone or if the 
visitor is actually within the App already, then they will receive 
the informational page directly. 
Communication between the iProximity Beacon and the 
smartphone is secured by 128-bit AES encryption. However, 
the security between the smartphone application and the web 
service it communicates with is even more important. With 
iProximity, this is always HTTPS, at the very minimum. 
People are still very protective of their private information, 
so regardless of the type of benefit your iProximity Beacon 
solution might offer them, their privacy could be a significant 
hurdle in persuading them to take up any offer. At iProximity, 
we recommend an opt-in policy that is set out when users 
register and sign up for the iProximity-Enabled App. Before any 
information is passed to a third party, we always seek the owner’s 
permission.

for Retail 
What Information Can I 
Display on a Zone Visitor’s 
Smartphone? 
Are iProximity 
Beacons Secure? 
What About Privacy? 
Retail will be one of the first 
industries to adopt the iProximity 
Beacon simply because of the 
great benefits that it offers both 
the retailers and the consumers. 
The use of smartphones to 
enhance the shopping experience 
is dramatically increasing around 
the world, as depicted in the 
following table, so retailers need 
to embrace this trend and combine 
it with proximity marketing to 
maintain their client base and 
remain relevant in the retail 
market. Deloitte’s smartphone 
shopping survey also found the 
use of a smartphone in store is 
likely to drive a 14% increase in 
sales conversion.

Consumer Benefits: 
Retailer Benefits: In November 2013, the independent 
research firm ResearchNow, 
commissioned by Swirl, conducted 
a study of the mobile and shopping 
preferences of 1,000 smartphone 
owners. 
Some key insights for retailers included 
the following: 
• Significantly more consumers 
would like to learn about store products 
and promotions from their smartphone 
(65%) than from a sales associate (38%). 
• 67% of surveyed consumers 
reported that in the past six months, 
they have received shopping-related 
push notifications on their smartphones. 
Of those, 81% said that they read or 
open these alerts most of the time, while 
79% have made a purchase as a result. 
Contextual information delivered 
through smartphones is an effective 
communication channel between 
retailers and consumers. 
Consumer Benefits: 
• Relevant, contextual information is pushed directly to their smartphones 
• Consumers control their privacy settings 
• Allows for further discovery of more information 
• Connects with social media 
• Provides a history of relevant offers 
• Users are able to choose the type of offers they wish to receive and filter out 
unwanted offers 
• Interacts seamlessly with loyalty programs to maximise awards or points 
Smartphone shoppers are 14% more likely to 
convert to a sale in store. Deloitte Digital The 
Dawn of Mobile influence 2012 
• Drives store traffic, engages with consumers, and influences 
buyers at the critical time of purchase decision by providing 
critical contextual information and offers based on consumer 
proximity in the store 
• The iProximity Campaign Management System provides 
fantastic flexibility and allows dynamic marketing activity to be 
conducted and monitored across one or hundreds of iProximity 
Beacons in one or hundreds of locations 
• Encourages consumers to socially share their offers with 
friends and followers – free marketing 
• Receive detailed campaign analytics from the iProximity 
Campaign Management System, which allows you to fine-tune 
and optimise every campaign 
• Encourages consumers to opt-in to receive further information 
via email, SMS, MMS, or other social networking platforms 
• Allows direct interaction with your loyalty program to drive 
program sign up and store floor traffic 
• Negates the effects of ‘show-rooming’ by controlling the 
information and offers that are being pushed to the consumer 
10 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 11
Large Retailers 
Small Retailers 
• Install a single iProximity Beacon with 
a promotional offer that drives store 
traffic 
• Present customers with a list of your 
current special offers or best-selling 
products 
• Ask for social media interaction or 
suggest signing up for your newsletter 
or loyalty program 
• By installing one or more iProximity 
Beacons, you can position the Beacons 
around specific products and offer more 
information on those particular items 
• Using the iProximity Campaign 
Management System, you can 
determine the time a shopper has spent 
looking at specific items. As consumers 
walk away from the items, you can pop 
up a contextual offer, such as “10% off”, 
or “50% off second item”, etc. 
With larger floor spaces, you have a greater opportunity to create elaborate proximity-based 
marketing campaigns. An iProximity-Enabled App will always pick up the strongest iProximity 
Beacon, allowing for multiple information Beacons to be placed inside the store. You can also place 
iProximity Beacons at the front of the store with an attractive offer to increase store traffic. For large 
retailers, iProximity also offers the following benefits: 
79% of smartphone owners shop on their Mobile 
Phones. Google Mobile In-Store Research, Shopper 
Marketing Council - How in-store shoppers are 
using mobile devices 2013 
• Offers further information on a larger number of items, 
including the manufacturer’s specification sheets or product 
reviews 
• By reviewing iProximity Beacon activity in the store, it is 
possible to start generating store traffic pattern maps and 
understanding product exposure and dwell times 
• The provision of more and better information as consumers 
move through the store will reduce the effect of searching for 
comparative products and pricing, allowing you to control the 
flow of information as consumers move closer to their purchase 
decision 
• You can easily monitor a large number of iProximity Beacons 
with the iProximity Campaign Management System. Use timed 
updates to change the offers on certain iProximity Beacons or 
split test campaigns and analyse the results in the iProximity 
Campaign Management System 
• Cross-sell related products by promoting other products with 
a combination offer 
• Up-sell by suggesting higher quality products or alternative 
products through customer reviews 
• Home improvement stores can offer lists of products needed 
to complete particular projects, as well as their locations within 
the store 
Usage of smartphones in store during shopping is 
on the rise, with iProximity Beacons you can control 
the conversation. Google Mobile In-Store Research,

Strip Shops/Malls 
Retail Chains 
With iProximity, we have made it easier to roll out multiple store iProximity Zones which can be controlled from one central 
interface, allow for individual store control, or both. This enables you to create one campaign and easily assign this to multiple stores 
simultaneously, saving you time and ensuring that you have marketing continuity across all locations. 
If you’re a retailer that offers paid shelf space or allows your suppliers to purchase your marketing activities, then your iProximity 
solution will fit right in. Our iProximity Campaign Management System gives you the freedom to assign a range of third party or 
sponsored campaigns. Just ask the specialists at iProximity for more details. 
Cafés & Restaurants or Fast 
Food Outlets 
• Use time of day marketing initiatives to drive store traffic, such as through breakfast, lunch, and dinner offers 
• Promote your daily specials 
• Show customers your menu as they approach your location 
• Promote bookings for special days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or holiday bookings 
• Link with your POS for table availability 
• Allow customers to interact with social media 
• As customers leave your premises, pop up a quick survey or ask for a Facebook ‘Like’ 
• Present your latest reviews to passers-by 
• Automatically link with your Loyalty program 
• Remind customers of your current promotional campaign and extend that campaign to the customers’ 
smartphones 
Groups of retailers can easily cooperate to cross-promote each other’s business by 
creating an iProximity Open Zone. As detailed in Figure 13 smartphone shoppers tend 
to spend more, therefore collaborating with other retailers to expand your mobile 
footprint could drive sales revenue. An Open Zone allows consumers to search for 
attractive offers across all retailing participants in an open zone, thereby assisting 
with both discovery and awareness. Enabling social sharing in open zones also helps to 
promote all the participants in the zone. 
Along with providing your own offers through specific retailer iProximity Beacons, 
consider adding a few more iProximity Beacons within the Open Zone to potentially 
provide the following: 
• Interactive maps of the space and details of the retailers 
• Time-based offers to drive traffic to the food court at lunch time 
• Information on special events or general promotions 
• The ability for stores to cross promote to offer great incentives to visit the Mall 
through interactive competitions and promotions 
• Create a loyalty program using your iProximity Beacons that includes points for 
interacting with as many individual store owned iProximity Beacons as possible during 
a visit 
Smartphone shoppers buy more goods; so having an engaging proximity mobile marketing solution will improve sales.

Fashion 
Supermarkets 
Many of the same ideas above can be offered in a Supermarket environment, but here are a few more: 
• Send shoppers different recipes based on their proximity to particular items 
• Offer a “meal map” within a store to deliver menus, as well as the locations of all the necessary ingredients 
• Offer discounts if particular items are purchased 
• List and show the location of all your specials 
• Shoppers in the cheese section could receive advice about good wines to pair with their selections 
• Offer detailed nutritional information for each item 
• Allow your suppliers to purchase space on your iProximity Beacons for their own marketing activities. Our iProximity Campaign 
Management System allows you to incorporate a range of third party or sponsored campaigns 
In a similar approach as supermarkets, fashion retailers have a 
wide range of opportunities with iProximity Beacons that can 
provide a valuable edge to mobile marketing campaigns that affect 
consumers at their point of decision. 
• Promotional offers directed at passing shoppers to drive 
store visitation. If the shopper is known as a customer through 
integration with either the store loyalty program or social media, 
this offer can be highly personalised 
• Provide information or additional images/variations of the 
goods being looked at by the shopper 
• Enable social sharing of the information so the shopper can 
receive feedback from friends on the purchase, thereby further 
promoting your goods to their extended networks 
• Suggest accessories for that particular item 
• Provide assistance in the changing room or get feedback on the 
item 
Increasingly shoppers are turning to their smartphone for assistance; 
ensure you are delivering the right information at the point of decision.

Car Dealers 
Gas / Service Stations 
• Promote your gas/petrol prices to passing motorists (distance-dependent) 
• Promote offers of other goods or discount offers 
• Promote new stock lines or special offers 
• Promote your loyalty program 
• Remind customers to check their tyre pressure, as well as water and oil levels 
• Create real time offers, such as ice cream on hot days 
Often, potential customers are browsing happily in your showroom or lot, and 
don’t wish to speak to a salesman. Some may even visit after hours. iProximity 
Beacons can be the perfect silent sales tool to provide your customers with 
information, while also providing you with statistics, analytics, and potential leads. 
• Position iProximity Beacons on certain cars and display more information on those vehicles 
• Provide customers with a map of your lot and show them where they can find certain vehicles 
• Explain your finance offers, quarterly specials, or included deals to interest customers 
• Provide contact details of salespeople for different vehicles 
• Provide comparison information between vehicles 
• Estimate insurance costs or total cost of ownership to excite prospective customers 
• Highlight the most economical or sporty car on the lot 
• Provide recommendations for vehicles to consider based on the type of customer requirements 
• Offer a deal site for prospective customers to make an offer on a vehicle

Delivering Contextual 
Information Services with 
iProximity Beacons 
Schools AND Universities 
In November 2013, the independent research firm 
ResearchNow, commissioned by Swirl, conducted a 
study of the mobile and shopping preferences of 1,000 
smartphone owners. 
Some key insights for retailers included the following: 
• Significantly more consumers would like to learn about

that they read or open these alerts most of the time, 
while 79% have made a purchase as a result. 
Contextual information delivered through smartphones 
is an effective communication channel between 
retailers and consumers. 
Consumer Benefits: 
• Provide guided 
walk-throughs using the 
visitors’ smartphones, rather 
than other equipment 
• Provide multimedia 
descriptions with video and 
audio to show or describe the 
item 
• Create treasure hunts of 
information for visitors and 
school groups 
• Give directions and maps, as 
well as information about the 
facilities 
• Allow teachers or group 
leaders to locate members of 
their group 
• Create interactive 
assignments that grab 
information from visited 
displays through the iProximity 
Beacon 
Overview 
iProximity Beacons can also be deployed to provide information based on 
a person’s exact location. In a similar style as commercial deployments, 
iProximity Beacons can be located both indoors and outdoors. The 
potential uses for iProximity Beacons to deliver information are endless. 
However, here are a few ideas that may assist you in your creative 
approach to information delivery. 
20 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 21
Airports and Transport Hubs Conferences ADN Events 
• Automate check-in processes using passbook or specialised ticketing apps 
• Advise travellers of gate changes or other time- and location-based information 
• Provide a list of localised amenities 
• Determine who is at the gate (some permission required for this) 
• Check in to club facilities 
• Promptly advise travellers of delays 
• Info about the next bus, train, or tram 
• Timetables and information 
• Onward journey information 
• Accommodation or ground transport service 
Tourist Destinations, Tours, 
Walking Tracks, Beaches, 
Sporting Grounds, and Public 
Information 
• Presenters will be able to engage with their audiences in new and exciting ways. They can involve the 
audience in their presentation by pushing a notification to participants that offers a link to additional 
reference material for their presentation 
• Send a LinkedIn connection request 
• Collect presentation feedback online 
• Run polls and surveys 
• Broadcast events that will be held at your booth 
• Offer prize promotions to encourage booth attendance 
• Timetable and event information 
Concerts 
• Provide guided walk-throughs using the visitors’ smartphones rather 
than other equipment 
• Provide multimedia descriptions with video and audio to show or 
describe the items or provide additional information 
• Create treasure hunts of information for visitors and school groups, 
thereby turning education into an interactive game 
• Show directions, maps, and facilities in relation to what is closest to the 
visitor 
• Allow teachers or group leaders to quickly locate members of their 
group 
• Create interactive assignments that grab information from visited 
displays via the iProximity Beacon 
• Provide up-to-date warnings and information, such as surf reports, 
bushfire information, and localised alerts about weather conditions or 
road closures 
• Use iProximity Beacons to deliver timely information at sporting 
events, such as the time until the next race, assembly area locations, or 
instructions for specific age groups or teams 
• Ski resorts can provide localised information based on location, which is 
particularly important during white out weather events 
iProximity Beacon technology could also have a range of applications at concerts and entertainment events. 
• For the concert-goer, tickets could open as they approach the entrance 
• Provide maps showing their location in relation to stages and facilities 
• Offer a find-your-friend feature for those times when they disappear in the mosh pit 
• Receive on-stage interactions from different sections of the crowd 
22 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 23
Promotions 
Promotions, competitions and social media interactions are also a great way 
to build relationships with customers and their circle of influence, while also 
rewarding them for sharing, interacting, or visiting your site. 
• Treasure Hunts with iProximity Beacons are a lot of fun and can be 
educational, because you have your group search for iProximity Beacons and 
interact with each one as you go along. 
• Check in for social media sites, so users can ‘Like’ your site, ‘Follow’, and 
‘Tweet’, while also sharing your offers and information. It helps to build a much 
larger audience very quickly. 
• Loyalty Programs can be dynamic and powerful with iProximity 
Beacons. With the right user permissions granted, on entering one of your 
establishments, they are personally greeted, store visit points are granted, the 
local staff members are advised that a VIP has arrived in the store, and the VIP 
gets a list of their point status and special offers displayed instantly on their 
mobile device. You could also trigger other events, including further discount 
offers, social media interaction, automatic contest entries, etc. 
• Contest Entries can be automatically triggered by a registered user’s 
presence. 
Control Real-World Actions 
Accessibility Solutions 
Warnings 
Location-based warning information can provide valuable context to visitors and tourists by providing a proximity-based warning system. 
• Advise people about a change in conditions to those within the affected region 
• Provide access to information in multiple languages 
• Offer information and advice as situations dramatically change 
• Assist them in locating themselves in order to find routes out to safe zones 
• Provide feedback to authorities informing them that people are located within that iProximity Zone 
Moving Beacons 
iProximity Beacons don’t have to be static; they can be attached to people, vehicles, or even animals. 
• Tour guides can carry iProximity Beacons so their tour group can find them easily 
• Chauffeurs could carry one so their passengers can easily find their meeting point 
• Attach them to public transportation vehicles like buses, trains, or trams to broadcast information to passengers 
• Create a peer-to-peer messaging service for passengers in each carriage 
• Offer information on the next stop, which is particularly useful for tourists 
• Promote your business as you drive around 
iProximity Beacons can also be successfully used to control 
actions in the real world. 
• Identify drivers through their smartphone app and open gates 
and warehouse doors automatically 
• Log staff in to time card applications 
• Turn lights and systems on or off based on the proximity of the 
smartphone. 
• Automatically detect workers passing iProximity Beacons in 
distant operations to determine their safety status 
• Control security systems 
• Log visitors to your site 
• Trigger video or other recording devices 
The possibilities for increasing quality of life and information for 
Accessibility solutions are also a great use of this technology. 
Automatically combining information from iProximity Beacons with the 
Accessibility functions in smartphones could provide a huge benefit. This 
is something that we will cover in another ebook in the very near future.

The underlying iBeacon technology isn’t an Apple’s monopoly; in fact all recent Android devices already support it too. The excitement around the iBea-con technology is that smartphones equipped with a Beacon App can detect the presence of a Beacon and automati-cally display information on or interact with the smartphone. The creativity of an iBeacon deployment is not about the Beacon hardware, but about the crea-tive uses for the technology. This eBook introduces 50 ideas for Bea-cons, we hope that one or two ideas resonate with you and you can start your proximity marketing or informa-tion campaigns. So what is an iProximity Beacon? The information that appears on a smart-phone once it comes into range of an iProx-imity Beacon is highly customisable. This message could vary from a simple informa-tion page to a discount offer or coupon, a Facebook interaction, or a custom applica-tion could be launched. iProximity Beacon customers can rapidly modify the information or the action on the visitor’s mobile device through the iProx-imity Campaign Management System. iProximity Beacons are designed and con-structed to be suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and require no main-tenance. No external connections, such as electricity or the Internet, are required to install an iProximity Beacon. Our Beacons use Bluetooth 4 or Low Energy (LE) Blue-tooth that does not require the pairing of devices and is already built into most Apple iOS and Android smartphones. There are many different brands of Bea-cons available, some of which conform to the Apple iBeacon standards, but all must comply with the Bluetooth standard to be detectable by smartphones. iProximity Beacons are manufactured ac-cording to the highest international stand-ards and are available in both indoor and outdoor (waterproof) models. The expect-ed battery life of an iProximity Beacon is 2 years, but by using the iProximity Cam-paign Management System, you can con-veniently check the battery levels on all of your iProximity Beacons. An iProximity Beacon is our own tiny, battery operated, low cost device that transmits a low-energy Bluetooth signal. A smartphone installed with an iProximity-enabled App can automatically detect these Bluetooth iProximity Beacon signals and alert the phone’s owner that locational information is available. Ideas for Your iProximity Beacon 2 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 3
  • 3. How Does an iProximity Zone Work? An iProximity Zone has iProximity Beacons installed at several locations throughout the Zone. When a Zone visitor equipped with a mobile phone and an iProximity-Enabled App enters the range of a Beacon, useful information or contextual marketing is automatically displayed on the visitor’s phone. What is an iProximity Open Zone? An iProximity Zone is a defined space that is “location-enabled” using iProximity’s Beacon Technology How Many iProximity Beacons Do I Need for My Application? An iProximity Open Zone is one that enables a number of different iProximity Beacon owners to jointly market themselves as a Zone for cross-promotional purposes. Examples of an iProximity Open Zone may include, shopping centres or strip malls with a number of different retailers, food outlets, and services that all wish to be found when a consumerwith the iProximity-Enabled App searches a Zone. Open Zones can be easily configured in the iProximity Campaign Management System. What is an iProximity Zone? What is the Range of An iProximity Beacon? In theory, an iProximity Beacon can have a range anywhere from 2 centimetres to 70 metres, but this can be influenced by a number of physical and environmental factors. Therefore, distances are approximate and it is best to test with the iProximity Beacon in situ. The space around a Beacon is divided logically into three distance grids: “immediate” (approx. 50centimetres), “near” (approx. 50 centimetres to 3 metres), and “far” (more than 3 metres). By using the iProximity Campaign Management System, you can determine the distance point that triggers the appropriate message on consumers’ smartphones. With the iProximity Campaign Management System, it is also possible to distinguish between a smartphone entering and leaving an iProximity Beacon Zone, so you can tailor your messages based on this context. iProximity Beacons transmitting range can be configured to trigger smartphone messages at the most appropriate distance This will depend on what you are trying to achieve with your proximity marketing plan. If you are simply trying to attract passing trade with a promotional offer, then 1 iProximity Beacon is sufficient. However, if you wish to deliver multiple messages based on the consumers’ location within your establishment, then you will need multiple iProximity Beacons. If you are unsure, please use the contact form or call us to discuss your exact requirements. An iProximity Zone is a defined space, such as a strip mall, shopping centre, sports arena, or Municipality that is “location-en-abled” using iProximity’s Beacon Technology. This allows visitors in that zone to receive specific information or offers on their smartphone about their immediate location within the Zone. 4 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 5
  • 4. Any location can become an iProximity Zone. These Zones can also be any size, ranging from several metres to dozens of kilometres. Some examples of effective Zones are: • A single retail outlet with a single iProximity Beacon that transmits a discount coupon to attract passing customers. • A large retail outlet with multiple iProximity Beacons; each Beacon provides information or offers on particular product located in that Zone. • A Shopping Centre or strip mall where a single Zone (Open Zone) is offered for all the outlets, but with each outlet’s iProximity Beacon broadcasting individual offers customised to their store. • An Exhibition or Event site that may require a mix of amenity information and offers from organisers, sponsors, or exhibitors. • A Gallery, Museum, Car Yard, or Nursery where iProximity Beacons deliver precise information about the product that the customer is standing directly next to. • A restaurant may have a special offer that it broadcasts, which allows interested passers-by to check if a table is available. An iProximity Open Zone allows different vendors or information providers to cross promote their services to Zone visitors Zone Visitors need to have an iProximity-Enabled Application on their smartphone to receive information. This is possible through our iProximity Zone Enabled App that is available for iOS or Android, or a user can add our iProximity SDK into their existing mobile application. We provide iProximity Zone signs with all iProximity Beacons to announce to your customers that they are entering an iProximity Zone. An iPhone coming into range of a iProximity Beacon displays an alert message suggesting the App is opened for more information What Areas Can Become an iProximity Zone? How Does a Zone Visitor Receive Localised Information? 6 www.iproximity.net www.iproximity.net 7
  • 5. The most common page that companies choose to display is a rich mobile website. These pages are easily customised through the iProximity Campaign Management System. Common designs include: • Offers: Coupons, Discounts, and Specials that are used to attract passing customers or customers within the store. • Informational: General information or location-dependent information that specifically relates to products, artwork, surroundings, or activities. • Engagement: Pages designed to more deeply engage with a customer through social media or specific promotional or marketing activity. • Custom: A wide range of custom applications can be built that use the power of the phone’s precise location, its proximity to an item, the power of the smartphone and its connection to the Internet. Ask us for some specific ideas that relate to your business. The information displayed on the phone or tablet depends on the state of the device to some extent. Basically, visitors will receive a notification that they have entered an iProximity Zone or if the visitor is actually within the App already, then they will receive the informational page directly. Communication between the iProximity Beacon and the smartphone is secured by 128-bit AES encryption. However, the security between the smartphone application and the web service it communicates with is even more important. With iProximity, this is always HTTPS, at the very minimum. People are still very protective of their private information, so regardless of the type of benefit your iProximity Beacon solution might offer them, their privacy could be a significant hurdle in persuading them to take up any offer. At iProximity, we recommend an opt-in policy that is set out when users register and sign up for the iProximity-Enabled App. Before any information is passed to a third party, we always seek the owner’s permission. iProximity Marketing Concepts for Retail What Information Can I Display on a Zone Visitor’s Smartphone? Are iProximity Beacons Secure? What About Privacy? Retail will be one of the first industries to adopt the iProximity Beacon simply because of the great benefits that it offers both the retailers and the consumers. The use of smartphones to enhance the shopping experience is dramatically increasing around the world, as depicted in the following table, so retailers need to embrace this trend and combine it with proximity marketing to maintain their client base and remain relevant in the retail market. Deloitte’s smartphone shopping survey also found the use of a smartphone in store is likely to drive a 14% increase in sales conversion. Smartphone shopping adoption increasing across all categories.

  • 6. Consumer Benefits: Retailer Benefits: In November 2013, the independent research firm ResearchNow, commissioned by Swirl, conducted a study of the mobile and shopping preferences of 1,000 smartphone owners. Some key insights for retailers included the following: • Significantly more consumers would like to learn about store products and promotions from their smartphone (65%) than from a sales associate (38%). • 67% of surveyed consumers reported that in the past six months, they have received shopping-related push notifications on their smartphones. Of those, 81% said that they read or open these alerts most of the time, while 79% have made a purchase as a result.

  • 8. Strip Shops/Malls Retail Chains With iProximity, we have made it easier to roll out multiple store iProximity Zones which can be controlled from one central interface, allow for individual store control, or both. This enables you to create one campaign and easily assign this to multiple stores simultaneously, saving you time and ensuring that you have marketing continuity across all locations. If you’re a retailer that offers paid shelf space or allows your suppliers to purchase your marketing activities, then your iProximity solution will fit right in. Our iProximity Campaign Management System gives you the freedom to assign a range of third party or sponsored campaigns. Just ask the specialists at iProximity for more details. Cafés & Restaurants or Fast Food Outlets • Use time of day marketing initiatives to drive store traffic, such as through breakfast, lunch, and dinner offers • Promote your daily specials • Show customers your menu as they approach your location • Promote bookings for special days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or holiday bookings • Link with your POS for table availability • Allow customers to interact with social media • As customers leave your premises, pop up a quick survey or ask for a Facebook ‘Like’ • Present your latest reviews to passers-by • Automatically link with your Loyalty program • Remind customers of your current promotional campaign and extend that campaign to the customers’ smartphones Groups of retailers can easily cooperate to cross-promote each other’s business by creating an iProximity Open Zone. As detailed in Figure 13 smartphone shoppers tend to spend more, therefore collaborating with other retailers to expand your mobile footprint could drive sales revenue. An Open Zone allows consumers to search for attractive offers across all retailing participants in an open zone, thereby assisting with both discovery and awareness. Enabling social sharing in open zones also helps to promote all the participants in the zone. Along with providing your own offers through specific retailer iProximity Beacons, consider adding a few more iProximity Beacons within the Open Zone to potentially provide the following: • Interactive maps of the space and details of the retailers • Time-based offers to drive traffic to the food court at lunch time • Information on special events or general promotions • The ability for stores to cross promote to offer great incentives to visit the Mall through interactive competitions and promotions • Create a loyalty program using your iProximity Beacons that includes points for interacting with as many individual store owned iProximity Beacons as possible during a visit Smartphone shoppers buy more goods; so having an engaging proximity mobile marketing solution will improve sales.
