• Each discount has to be picked up by a minimum number of people and is
available on website for a period of 24 hours only.

Geolocation is gaining importance because of the social networking websites

9. Location Based Services
• LBS provide users with personalized service based on their geolocation.
• The way these services work on is based on check-ins.

• These check-ins allow brands to know who is in their store
• They can use this information for commercial purpose

11. Recommendations
Within the ecosystem of local web these are the websites that aggregate reviews
of restaurants, shops and hotels

12. Advertising & Alerts
• There are many advertising formats that incorporate geolocation
• Companies buy display advertising for both desktop and other devices

deals of the day or personalised deals

13. The Value of Local Information
• Information is invaluable to companies.
• Cell phones leave trail of information about the place they have been carried.
• This information combined with other information on taste, uses etc can be
extremely useful for business
Install receivers in different part of a shopping
centre so that manager can see how many
people are in each area at different times of the
day
• Tweets and comments are also important source of information.
• A brand may be interested in knowing whether the tweets about it originate in
different cities or neighbourhoods.

14. • The marketing campaign should always have clear goals.
• Example of a small clothing store, wherein the goal is to increase traffic,
 Registering the store on Google places
 Set up a small PPC campaign to promote your flagship brands
 Create a Foursquare account that includes,
1. Promotions in exchange for checking in at the store
2. Special offer for the first check-in (like 20% discount)
Launching a Campaign

15. The evolution of marketing today signifies the fact that the
local digital marketing can be much more effective than
national marketing when guiding customers through the “final
moments in the purchase cycle” in to your store so that they
make a purchase
