2012 DS ASIA PRESENTATION
DS has evolved as technology has improved
It can do much more than simply push generic messages at customers
DS 2.0 gives customers content tailored for them
This can be as simple as intelligent scheduling, or as complex as interactive Augmented Reality
Crucially, DS 2.0 is relevant and targeted, and therefore more engaging
Measurement is essential
Nick - notes re: the fact that this has happened - customers expect relevant information - personalisation

BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY
Small ‘Beacons’ powered by Bluetooth 4.0, which require very little energy, can be used to transmit small amounts of data to Beacon enabled smartphones (both iOS and Android) within a certain radius (up to 50 metres)
The number and varieties of use cases for this technology is where it gets exciting
The greatest advantage of the technology is it’s ability to offer personalised communications to customers based on their exact location as well as browsing and purchase history
Indoor mapping is another potential usage - this is of particular interest to airports, shopping centres and the museums and galleries sector
The Reubens House in Antwerp used Beacon technology to guide customers around the exhibits, instead of a traditional audio guide or brochure
