Hyper Proximity Marketing allows businesses and destinations to deliver value and high

impact content to consumers at the point of purchase or point of influence

via their mobile device. In the case of Omni Hotels, it allows us to reach our guest with

value-added promotions and special offers during their stay to increase ancillary revenue and guest

satisfaction.

It breaks mobile marketing down to a hyper local level to drive structured engagement at the

point of sale.
