We debuted our new assistive audio hot spot feature on January 1 and it has been a smashing success!
Rather than relying on antiquated, traditional sales and marketing materials for our customers, through the TrueTour app, you are able to create blended customer experiences specifically built for each individual target. Our technology makes this incredibly fast and easy as well as highly trackable.
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…

If you participate in the trade show event cycle for your business – either as a booth or as a guest – you may be excited to know the industry is changing under your feet….. literally.
For many of us, the rush of the trade show circuit is one with which we have a love-hate relationship. It involves a great deal of travel, tremendous preparation and the work often begins after the networking has finished and potential negotiations can commence. It is also where the pulse of your industry connect, thrive, share and plan for the rest of the year.
I could write several volumes on the history of this particular model of marketing, but needless to say that technology’s influence – in particular, the introduction to (and warm reception of) virtual reality may have a very positive impact on our ability to engage, interact and introduce our businesses in an entirely new way.
