Location Based Marketing

Location-based marketing in essence is among those modern applications that have been designed in a manner that enables the user based on their location, to get notifications of any job openings and other opportunities. Ideally, the notifications are sent to the mobile device through the messaging service with full details of the opportunities being marketed. The application must however have been granted permission to access your location and to message and send notifications (Palmieri, Calderoni, & Maio, 2014). Based on this, at any time that the user is in a location that a business is subscribed to the application’s services, the user will therefore get details about any available offers and opportunities from the businesses within the location. The marketers thus will have more people who use the application to be aware of the offers hence creating awareness and generating traffic.
