Location-Based Services
Location-based services (LBS) are specific software applications created to leverage users’ real-time geographic location so you can market to them.
With users’ smart devices relaying location to you (the mobile marketer), the LBS can then send users timely and relevant content based on their location. Some examples of content they can receive include:
- News and updates at your location
- Nearby entertainment and restaurants
- Promotional coupons for stores in your vicinity
