What consumers like about location-based mobile marketing?
1. It’s permission-based. Consumers opt-in and set their
   frequency and message preferences.
2. It’s convenient. They’re time-starved and want to know
   about promotions and offers where and when it matters
   most.
3. It’s relevant. They receive information, promotions, or
   discounts that are most interesting to them.
