Thinking about Bluetooth advertising? Consider these great uses of Bluetooth marketing for a variety of businesses.

1) Radio stations. We’ve all heard remote broadcasts at car dealerships. Imagine a radio station booking additional revenue by offering to broadcast on-site Bluetooth alerts about the hottest vehicles. Suddenly the dealership is generating leads that they otherwise may not get, because most folks don’t want to talk to a salesperson and just want the info on the car(s) they’re interested in.

2) Grocery stores, coffee shops, bookstores (basically any retail outlet). Why aren’t you using Bluetooth to broadcast coupons, new merchandise, this week’s specials, and so much more? Get a long-range dongle, buy some software, and amaze your customers with your cool factor and with the deals you’re advertising.

3) Got an oil change yesterday. Now wondering why they’re not setting themselves apart from the other oil change joint right across the street, by using Bluetooth to broadcast their car repair specials.

4) Concerts. Use Bluetooth to sell band merchandise right over the phone, to be mailed or picked up at the table in the back. Bluetooth broadcast fan club subscriptions, album info, upcoming events, etc.

5) Movie theaters. Bluetooth snack bar specials and opt-ins for your frequent movie watcher club.

Add to the above Bluetooth uses for banks, at race tracks, and more and you begin to realize that the Bluetooth possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Of course, best practices do apply–such as ensuring every transmission is permission-based and keeping file sizes small.

Perhaps the best news for any business or non-profit considering Bluetooth advertising, is that hardware & software costs are coming down significantly. One such example is Proxiblaster’s Bluecast box–a self-contained campaign manager/transmitter, which simply needs a power source to run and can be remotely programmed over any web connection.

India is fast becoming a hot market for Bluetooth advertising. We’ve previously reported on Bluetooth marketing at the Harry’s Bar & Casino chain. Now comes news of Bluetooth advertising at Hindu temples.

While you may not agree with the religious content they’re offering, don’t let that stop you from utilizing Bluetooth broadcasting at your church.

No, you don’t need to jump off the cliff into inauthenticity by hawking religion on people’s cell phones. Yes, your church can provide helpful and potentially life-changing content via Bluetooth.

If your church campus is comprised of several buildings or if each section of your main building serves a different purpose–educational, children’s ministry and otherwise–imagine Bluetoothing church maps and intro videos to visitors. You could also use Bluetooth to facilitate service signups at ministry fairs and other gatherings.

In fact, if your congregation plays host to community events, you could reach many unchurched folks with low-key intro videos and service times via Bluetooth. Just advertise the availability of content via simple print signage, through your closed circuit TV network or by some other means.

There is no denying that telecommunications is and will continue to be part of the world economy. In fact, companies, such as Wal-mart, Amazon and others, have used telecommunications to build global empires. As technological advancement continues to improve the telecom industry, revenues will continue to rise because of it. Bluetooth is one such advancement. Out of bluetooth connectivity comes bluetooth marketing.

Mobile marketing has become increasingly popular as an advertising channel. While traditional advertising campaigns, such as television advertising or magazine advertising, have a wider reach, it is so costly and does not guarantee attention. This system capitalizes on what most people have in common and that is cellphones. Its hard to ignore a tone for incoming calls, even the silent mode with vibrate on does its wonders on getting the users attention. One key feature of the Bluetooth Marketing Software is allowing the consumer to opt in and opt out of the service at any time.

Lets say you are an affiliate and you setup the broadcaster in a high traffic area like busy intersections or crowded parks, the broadcaster will continuously scan for the presence of Bluetooth enabled mobile devices. As soon as someone comes within range with their Bluetooth enabled mobile device, the server sends a message to the user’s phone, asking if they wish to get free content from the dealership. If the user agrees by pressing ‘Yes’ on their phone, the content is sent immediately. If the user declines, the server remembers this and won’t ask the same user again in the future.

Bluetooth is also radio-based technology and therefore broadcasting via bluetooth is free of charge. This allows you to advertise your content repeatedly increasing coverage and sales potential at the same time. You save a lot compared to the traditional advertising.

How to become an affiliate

What’s needed are just the Bluetooth Marketing Software ($499.99 – Affiliate fee included) and a 300-meter broadcaster unit with dongles ($1500). Click this link to get started today.

Return of investment

Keeping with the example, lets see how we can make money with bluetooth advertising. You can either earn money by delivering adverts. You can be paid for the number of ads delivered – say $1.00 per ad delivered during a football game. Imagine how many fans watch a football game and think about your income potential. You can also split the advertisers’ revenues generated by your bluetooth marketing system. Say you broadcasted a discount coupon for a combo meal at the nearby food store. Right after the game, football fans went to the store and claimed their coupon. So the storeowner gave you 50% commission for bringing those customers in. Now, that’s a lot.

Another approach to earning money is by way of saving money thru broadcasting your own adverts. Instead of paying thousands of precious dollars to traditional advertisers, you can broadcast your customized content – anytime and anywhere. There are many ways to return your investment but one thing is certain – it returns fast.

DUBLIN, Ireland — Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e3d2cd/proximity_marketin) has announced the addition of the “Proximity Marketing with Bluetooth” report to their offering.

Proximity marketing using Bluetooth is an enormously powerful tool and, although seemingly complex technically, ethically and legally, following a few basic principles can ensure success. This report introduces the reader to Bluetooth marketing, and describes in detail the concept of proximity marketing, detailing what it can and can’t deliver.

The legal and ethical use of Bluetooth is investigated, and the accepted levels of consent are discussed.

The report spells out 12 steps, a checklist that advises marketers on all the considerations that should be part of the due diligence performed as part of a Bluetooth marketing campaign. The closer the steps are adhered to, the greater the chance of a successful campaign. It also details ways to measure the success of a project.

The report concludes with a technical overview of the implementation of a campaign, including a guide to buying in Bluetooth marketing products and services.

Key Findings:

* Consumers are 50% more likely to accept Bluetooth marketing if you have a poster describing the activity than without
* Bluetooth Marketing is able to target an audience with pinpoint accuracy, based on location
* While it is legal to broadcast Bluetooth messages to anybody, without permission, the Direct Marketing Association recommends more strict guidelines for this sort of communication
* The public’s understanding of Bluetooth technology has improved greatly in the last two years
* Big media agencies are still wary of the technology, and traditional media buyers are yet to routinely include it in their media planning
* When best practice is followed, there is little chance of users considering the communication as spam
* The area in which you use Bluetooth is very important, it should never be a public space, only commercial
* The cost of implementing a Bluetooth campaign is always more predictable and usually lower than SMS campaigns

Audience:

Marketing Professionals: Anyone considering using Bluetooth as a marketing channel will benefit from this in-depth guide covering best practice, step-by-step campaign design, legislative and regulatory impacts and practical examples of successful Bluetooth proximity marketing campaigns.

If you are considering using Bluetooth for a future marketing campaign – start here first!

Marketing and Media Agencies: Are your clients asking for new and creative ways to reach target audiences without the expense and complexity of location based mobile marketing? Bluetooth proximity marketing is a great alternative. This guide will help you understand how to use Bluetooth proximity marketing to maximize the return on your client’s investment – while ensuring best practice and legislative and regulatory compliance.

Bluetooth Proximity Marketing Providers: This report can be a great sales tool to help you explain Bluetooth proximity marketing to your clients – as a source of great examples of working Bluetooth campaigns – and as a benchmark for your own business practices. The report also includes the results from a January 2009 survey of 1000 UK consumer’s on their attitudes towards Bluetooth as a technology and acceptance of Bluetooth marketing – again providing you with more data to enhance your sales efforts!

Mobile Marketing Consultants: In general Bluetooth marketing is relatively well understood by mobile marketing consultants – but this is the first in-depth report covering the details of the best and most effective campaigns, consumer insights into perception of Bluespam, best practice for campaign design and execution – and legislative and regulatory compliance.

An absolute must to ensure your clients get the best advice when it comes to Bluetooth proximity marketing.

Mobile Technology Specialists: You know how to use Bluetooth for pairing your headset or your car kit – and you can even swap last night’s party pics over Bluetooth – but how is Bluetooth being used for marketing? What is the basis for the Bluetooth standard? Where is Bluetooth going next? Although primarily focused towards the marketing community – the report packs enough punch to keep the technologists interested right through to the end.

A new trend appears in the mobile marketing since the beginning of 2006 : The Bluetooth marketing, or proximity marketing.

This new tool works as a direct marketing channel to end users mobile phones. The first generation of these tools established a connection with the Bluetooth enabled phones (activated and set to visible) which are within 20 meters from a dedicated hotspot. A question appears on the screen of the phone in the form ‘Do you accept content from Alterwave ? Yes / No’, where Alterwave is the name of the company willing to advertise. If the user presses Yes, the download proceeds at a speed of typ. 50kB/sec over Bluetooth. The data transfer is 100% free. A video of 500 kB would be sent in about 10 seconds.

If the user presses No, the popup disappears from the screen, and if the users does not press either key the popup will disappear when the phone leaves the Bluetooth covered zone.

This new media raises a lot of interest in the advertising and marketing industry. The kind of files that they push is images (still or animated), sounds (mp3) and video.

The risk to see the Bluetooth marketing seen as Spam does exist, but an opt-in is also possible by requiring the user to approach his phone close to a given point (typ. 1-2 meters) for triggering the download.

The challenge is now for media and marketing agencies to use this innovative tool wisely, and certainly to send value added content to the users. The Bluetooth marketing has a lot of impact on end users, so it should be used with wisdom.
