Feb 03, 2014 /prREACH/ -- San Francisco, January 30, 14 – Blue Rocket, a leading custom mobile application design and development firm, announced today that Apple’s iBeacon is one of the most important new features in iOS technology available to mobile retail marketers today. The technology, released by Apple late in 2013, provides retail-to-mobile communication by connecting iBeacon’s standard Bluetooth low-energy emitters placed in retail locations with Apple’s iPhones and some of the late model Android phones.
Marketers that provide mobile solutions utilizing this technology will be able to monitor and optimize every stage of the in-store mobile shopping experience as well as connect to mobile shoppers with instant offers. The technology can track store visits, time spent in a specific location and offers up real-time messages, coupons, promotions or other product information. iBeacon can also engage mobile users in a variety of other business locations. From sports stadiums to museums and exhibits, restaurants and bars to hotels and resorts, all will have the power to further connect with their consumers to provide an enhanced and tailored brand experience through mobile devices.
With over 200 million new mobile users coming online in 2014, Blue Rocket believes that mobile marketers need to partner with innovative mobile app design and development firms with a strong track record for creating highly customized mobile solutions to best integrate and leverage innovative emerging technologies, like iBeacon, into their strategic mobile initiatives.
