digital signage GLOSSARY

Location-based Marketing

Location-based Marketing is the practice of tailoring content and offers based on the audience's physical proximity to a display, a product, a venue, or a defined geofence. In digital signage, location-based marketing combines on-screen content with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, NFC tags, Wi-Fi positioning, and mobile geofencing to deliver the right message to the right person at the right place.

In Livesignage, location-based scenarios are designed in the Experience Designer through the Flow engine: a sensor or beacon detects proximity, the platform triggers personalized content on the nearest display, and an optional mobile flow (via QR code or NFC) continues the conversation on the visitor's phone. This is the foundation of the Phygital experience model and a major contributor to the +67% conversion lift reported by Livesignage customers.

Use Cases

Location-based marketing transforms physical spaces into responsive environments:

- Retail: in-aisle promotions triggered when a customer enters a category zone.
- Museums and tourism: location-aware content that adapts to where the visitor stands.
- Hospitality: contextual welcome and wayfinding based on guest location in the property.
- Smart city: geofenced public information for transit hubs, plazas and event areas.
- Trade shows and events: booth-aware mobile content as visitors navigate the floor.
