QR BASED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS
INDOOR PROXIMITY SYSTEM
QR BASED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS- REALLY UNSEXY - THE ENGAGEMENT IS SLOW - THE USER HAS TO START THE
INTERACTION
INDOOR PROXIMITY SYSTEM
NFC ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
INDOOR PROXIMITY SYSTEM
NFC ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN- RANGE IS TOO SHORT (~4 CM) - THE USER HAS TO START THE
INTERACTION - GREAT IN OTHER FIELDS (I.E.
PAYMENTS)

CHANNEL TO THE CUSTOMER!
IT’S NOT (JUST) A NEW TECHNOLOGY.
IT’S A NEW USER EXPERIENCE.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
IBEACON emits continuously a signal that can be received by a specific app (even if it’s not running!)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
UUID is typically used to identify a group of iBeacon, not a single one!
