Best Reading of the Day - Entry 0088 Beacons and Connected Lighting Systems

Huh?

A network of lightbulbs that can help track phones (and their users) through a store to add personalized value for marketers to leverage.  Okay, it is actually the light "fixtures" but still.

Wow.

That and more can be read in this piece:

Here is a snippet from that:

...some marketers are working around the privacy concerns of tracking in-store shoppers with even newer forms of technology.

Light bulb manufacturer Philips, for example, is piloting a light-based service in European retailers. Consumers can download a stand-alone app, which works with the in-store LED lights to serve consumers offers throughout the store.

Happy Reading,
