Aren't bluetooth beacons or wi-fi-based solutions more innovative?
Established in 2013, Bluetooth beacon technology was initially seen as a marvelous innovation for all things related to proximity marketing. But as time passed, and more and more businesses turned to it, its limitations became visible:

1. Beacons do not work on their own: Customers require to have an application on their phones for catching the signal emitted by the beacon. What hurdle to get in!
2. Beacons are not cost-efficient: Beacons need batteries, so they need to be replaced from time to time. Furthermore you need to maintain your app.
   
3. The Matter of privacy: Proximity marketing needs to be safe, secure, and trustworthy at all time. By having bluetooth beacons or wi-fi-based solutions in place, you are automatically logging in and accessing your customers’ information. Not all of them are comfortable with that!
