12. Beemray
It’s the age-old desire for marketers to deliver the
right message, to the right person, at the right
time. However, marketers are missing the mark. To
truly understanding to whom, and when to send
the right message, we must understand individual
customer context. Location is the next dimension in
personalisation, it is the foundation for understanding
customer context. For location to deliver on its
promise, the entire data flow must be real-time; from
collection, segmentation, analytics, to activation.
It must also bring value to all of a retailer’s digital
platforms, using every available location signal - from
verified IP/WiFi, to GPS & Beacons.
