Bluetooth advertising

Bluetooth advertising

Bluetooth advertising is a method of mobile advertising that utilises bluetooth technology to deliver advertisements to mobile devices such as cellular phones.

Bluetooth advertising transmitters are set up to detect bluetooth devices within transmission range. When a device is detected, the advertising transmitter sends out a message asking the recipients if they would like to view a promotional text message, video clip, animation or even a business card. This way of advertising is very efficient and very cheap at the same time. One test of such a service at railway stations detected 87,000 phones over a period of two weeks and achieved a response of 15%. [cite web

There are also software products that are designed to do the same thing. They are designed to be installed on a computer and using a Bluetooth dongle, they transmit advertisements in their proximity range. The software solutions are usually more flexible and cheaper than the hardware solutions.. [cite web
