Imagine holding a small beacon in your pocket, which you have programmed with a powerful strategic message perfect for the environment you find yourself in – perhaps a trade show floor or a festival event.
With a single click, anyone within a 400 meter range of you receives your message on their phone, offering them something they can’t resist. Your message delights the audience and they appreciate the instant gratification of your offer.
Perhaps you’ve already experienced “proximity marketing.” Most likely if you’re a Starbucks fan, you’ve received a free drink for more than one happy hour occasion. Or perhaps you’ve walked into a store and been pinged about the 10% offer made just for you.
Proximity marketing is incredibly effective, and we are very close to being able to offer this technology to our members! Continue Reading…
Perhaps the most challenging part of our job each day is opening a conversation with a person who has never heard of TrueTour®, and doing our best to induce such enthusiasm and inspired curiosity that we successfully live through the first 2 minutes. If we can survive the initial skepticism and natural tendency to say no for no reason, then we are pretty much golden.

When was the last time you bought something without consulting a review? If you’re like most folks, simple purchases can often set off a research project worthy of an academic dissertation. And for bigger things, like one’s annual vacation, online bookmarks and lengthy discussions are the tip of the iceberg. For life events – either personal or corporate…. forget about it.

Most likely, your inbox has been flooded with notifications updating Privacy Policies. You’ve probably seen the term “GDPR” a lot, too. If you have a website, hopefully you’ve also been informed that this is something you do need to know about.
Personally, I wonder if this is a virtual security measure, much like the annoying body scanner at the airport which requires that I undress practically to the nude and hold my hands above my head like I’m a captive. I wonder if these measures are more for the appearance of security than actual prevention… But, that’s another story for another day.
In the meantime, I want to share with you a recap of a few articles I’ve found that explain this new standard much better than I could.
