— June 4, 2014 — Autos
These beacon technology shopping innovations involve a fast growing market when it comes to properly utilizing smart devices for retailers around the world. It is especially handy when it comes to big-ticket items such as cars, real estate, furniture, jewelry and more. Armed with these apps, both consumers and companies are privy to information they have never had easy access to before.

Whether that means getting on-the-spot details about a vehicle one is interested about or allowing businesses to send targeted promotions to nearby phones, these beacon technology shopping innovations can change the face of consumerism and retail as people now know it. Since it is a fairly new development, it will be interesting to see how other companies apply this interactive technology.
