Proximity Marketing is a marketing technique for distribution of electronic mobile content to mobile phones and PDA devices of people walking nearby a specific location, where the Bluetooth Hotspot is placed. The key goal of Bluetooth Marketing is to reach customers’ mobile phones directly at zero cost per customer. 1 bluAir hostpot searches for handsets bluAir hotspot scans for Bluetooth-enabled devices located in a range up to 100 meters (330 feet) 2 bluAir hotspot asks for permission 3 bluAir sends content files For every detected device, bluAir sends request for permission of sending files. It looks like: Do you want to connect with [your-name-here]? Once user grants permission, bluAir sends files (thanks to multithreaded software architecture and multiple bluetooth radios installed, sending files to one Customer will not stop detection of new handsets of Customers walking by the bluAir hotspot). Depending on the hardware version, bluAir can connect with up to 56 (or even more when running in special Clustered Mode) mobile phones at the same time.

It allows marketers to reach their customers in a new way, which is different, attractive and totally free for them. What to send? What is possible? Bluetooth technology does not limit file formats by itself. You can send virtually every kind of files to your customers, ensuring they are readable by handheld devices you address them to. • You can attract customers directly at the point of sale with a direct simple message: like “Today 15% off”, “Free Coffee” and instantly measure results of your campaign. Most popular kinds of content Images (jpg, png): 2D/3D Coupons, Wallpapers, Advertisements Animations, Screen Savers, Short Videos (3gp): Movie Trailers, Commercials Music, Ring Tones, Jingles, Sounds (mp3, amr) Java Applications / Games / Presentations (most powerful features) What is the maximum size per file? There are no technical limits regarding the file size, however you should ensure the Bluetooth communication is fast and easy. We advise not to exceed 200kB for pictures & music and 500kB for Java applications and movies. In every case you should minimize the file size if possible, especially content targeted for older mobile phones. • You can broadcast content like wallpapers, ringtones, Java games with your advertisements inside. • You can enhance popularity of your products or services, providing your customers with a convenient and functional Java brochures they have never had a chance to use before. How to prepare content? • Images need to be resized to fit as many screen resolutions as possible (you can also use our Content Generator embedded into bluBase application) • Videos should be prepared in different resolutions to support as many mobile phones as possible • Music and Sounds: we recommend mp3 as the most supported format • Java Applications: need to be ported to as many different phones as possible (if you use our Java Development services you do not have to worry about it; if you use other Java Applications providers, ask them for a porting table for the application) • Problems? We’ll help! How to use Bluetooth Marketing successfully? • Be visible. Ask your customers to turn on Bluetooth in their mobile phones: by using large Turn on Bluetooth banner; tell them what they can get, e.g. free Java games! You will not only increase the percentage of Bluetooth-enabled devices, but also make people aware of your promotion. • Don’t spam. Set the limit for the maximum connection retries and don’t re-send same files (use Zone Mode to ensure customers will not get the same content from different hotspots). • Be readable. Make sure the content you broadcast is compatible with all handheld devices (use content matching in bluBase). • Reward customers. Give them something worth their interest.

Information complexity is conveniently managed by providing multi-level form of navigation with internal and external links, menus and buttons. Powerful functionality like browsing and searching for products brings your offers to the next level of your customer’s experience. Information is up to date as catalogues may be updated via web, WAP, or via Bluetooth (see bluReponse Mode). Providing sales phone numbers or redirecting to web order forms can immediately boost your sales. Customers will more likely use your products as they carry all the actual information in their pockets and know how to order them. Last, but not least: by using mobile brochures, you can reduce the volume of printed material (which will never be as flexible to update as mobile application is). Java Games Mobile games offer very good cost-benefit factor and encourage customers to pay more attention to your brand and your products. Highly attractive for children and teenagers, and low cost per customer at the same time. By releasing game levels every few weeks, you will addict game-loving customers and their children who will urge parents for successive visits.

Please note this number not only means how many people will actually be able to download content, but also how many devices might be physically connected to your hotspot. Even if there is only 1 person per minute willing to download your content, the hotspot may constantly detecting high number of other Bluetooth users, enforcing your customers to wait statistically more, if the connection pool is being constantly exceeded. This factor is the most critical one when choosing Bluetooth marketing hotspot type. bluAir Desktop Simple: 14 Handset Recognition Recognition of vendor and model of the mobile phone / PDA is required in order to upload content which is properly displayed on the mobile phone. All versions Bluetooth Range The maximum range of the device on the open air. In closed spaces the range is reduced by 60-70%. Desktop versions: 100m/330ft bluAir Desktop Standard: 28 bluAir Desktop Pro: 56 bluAir Desktop Pocket: 14* *Pocket version supports smaller range (max. 30m), thus the effective response time is shorter by default Pocket version: 30m/100ft Bluetooth range may be limited through bluBase settings.
